ESports betting -CS:GO, DOTA 2, LOL, Valorant - discussion thread

Am I the only one who’s noticed that Aurora has suffered some really ridiculous losses since they changed their team IGL and coach?
Is anyone else here following Aurora?
The fact that they performed so poorly on the Mirage map in their most recent loss to G2 is by no means something to brush off. Especially on the Inferno map, it’s not normal for the game to go into overtime when the score was 12-10—and then lose after that. In my opinion, kyxsan isn’t a good IGL, and ASH isn’t a good coach. It’s crystal clear that the team has regressed since Wicadia and XANTARES joined.

I think it's more a matter of having new strategies than decision-making. Because if they were bad, they would be against all the teams they play against. But they only lost to teams that are really good and better than them. I think from the top 10 down they have every chance of winning. But from the top 10 up, I think it's more unlikely, even though they've already taken maps from Spirit and Fury, for example.

Roster changes are probably one of the biggest things to watch. A team can look completely different after one move

And it is happening right now for all regions in the dota 2. A lot of restructuring for organizations and some known organizations have said that they're struggling financially and that's Team Liquid. They have high quality players and even in chess, they've signed Magnus Carlsen. I don't understand how these contracts are paying them that much without foreseeing how much return it can give them back to the organization. While there is no question about their achievements but, achievements mean nothing when they're about to go bankrupt.

Does anyone actually bet on LoL?
I know it's very popular in my country, but was never interested in it be it betting or playing

I still bet on it, but I don't always mention it here because most of the guys here are into CS2 or Dota. 

Yesterday, I followed the LCK playoffs and found a good window to grab DK live before they went on to win the last two maps for the reverse sweep.

At one point, it became a 5v3 situation for Aurora that looked unloseable until they got outplayed in the post plant. I also agree, this change might actually be a downgrade if they still can't get a convincing win at their next event.

There are several others who have put in their opinions when it comes to League of Legends in the past. But it doesn't seem to be too popular when it comes to betting on compared to the other genres. Atleast for those who view this thread as you have noticed.

For the CounterStrike matches I think some were being played for the next Intel Extreme Masters tournament coming up.
Vitality are always going to be the favorites since they had that epic run of wins at the start of the season.

I see, I was a bit curious since there were some LoL matches yesterday.

For today I hope that Vitality will dominate the match early on, so that their win odds become shorter than they already are.
Only then will I get involved and hope for an epic choke from them

Congrats on the win teammate - nice value you got there after they were trailing.
I always have to laugh at the team names from my country.
I mean KIA or SK Telecom are surely not names which are intimidating

Anyway, I somehow thought the CS matches would be played today.
Enough time for me to plan a trading strategy and I'm also leaning towards going against Vitality tomorrow.

I'm one of those who make bets here in LoL and I've been playing the game since my highschool days until now. That's why if there's a game in LoL, I always make bet as long as I have a balance. So far, it's only ralle14 whom I see who places his betslip here if he has one.

KT Rolster also has a match against Dplus Kia, and the current score is 2-1 in favor of Dplus Kia. Perhaps it'll be their revenge for the last match where they did pretty bad with a 3-0 score.

It seems we are betting against each other team on CS, I did bet on vitality now and it's in parlay with G2 but for G2, I did map handicap on my bet since I'm a bit doubtful with the team falcon especially with their previous play

For today I hope that Vitality will dominate the match early on, so that their win odds become shorter than they already are.

Well for me I hope they really dominate the whole series without choking so that my 10 leg parlay on Esports will still be alive

I think Aurora has a better roster. If Maj3r and Coach Fabre hadn’t left and the team had been reinforced, they might be in a better position right now. The team that used to make the quarterfinals in every tournament has now started getting eliminated one by one and is now seen as an easy target. That’s the problem, and the roster changes don’t seem to have helped much. Jimpphat could be a good addition, but ASH and kyxsan weren’t very sensible moves.

The G2 pick is dicey, but it was a close call during their last meeting at the major. It's always worth a try since Falcons failed to retain their peak form after the major.

It was dicey yeah but thats also the reason why I picked them once again

They started off bad against Aurora but managed to turn it around especially on the 3rd map, they won by landslide 1-13. That tells me they have what it takes to win and odds wise its better if I just go with G2

The game starting in an hour though lets see if my gamble paid off

Vitality is improving with each match. Therefore, I think they'll beat Furia 2-1

Either 2-1 or 2-0 straight but Vitality is winning this one most likely

Does anyone actually bet on LoL?

Only when its on Worlds and only on T1, that mainly because I love to watch them keep winning the trophy  


Edit : I got burned on G2 as expected

Those were one of the individuals I remember who use to bet on League and posted their predictions on here and discussed LCK when that tournament was being played along with @rohang
@goodpunt
So if you want to talk about LoL then you know who will listen to your opinions on certain matches when you bet in this genre.

Just watching some Blast Porto quarterfinals in this CS2 tournament which began last week when @PumaRed mentioned about it.

Well glad to see KIA beat KT - I dislike the service of KT while KIA's cars are actually....not great either
OK seriously LoL is too complicated for me to follow since I have no clue about the dynamics of the game.

Sorry to see that your double got ruined because of G2.
Hope that your 10 leg parlay is still alive since Vitality won.
I only lost a small stake on FURIA - unfortunately I forgot to trade out after they won the first map.

Only when its on Worlds and only on T1, that mainly because I love to watch them keep winning the trophy  

I see, just checked the results - they are indeed a good bankroll builder when it comes to Worlds

Good to know when I need advice

Thanks, and even the fans sometimes make fun of them, like calling Dplus as Disney Plus.

It's difficult if you're not into MOBAs, but all I can say is that it's easier to have a good betting run on League than on the other esports titles.

That series got me sweating since I had Vitality to win and losing their map pick almost felt like it could've been the same script as the G2/Falcons series.

Well, I lost my parlay when G2 lost the game against team Falcons last night, and I didn't even bother to watch the game of Vitality cause I lost interest lol. Team Falcon did really great with their play on the first map wherein it was G2's map pick. Even when it seems like G2 is unlosable on that round, Falcon still were able to win the round against them. Especially Niko, there are plenty of rounds where he played really well.

That's right. That's why when it comes to worlds, never bet against T1. T1 plays differently when it comes to worlds that's why others think they have magic buff when it comes to this tournament.

This is also the final teams of LCK who made it to the worlds tournament.

[ralle14]

The Blast Open Porto finals will be between Mouz and Spirit. I expected Vitality to be the other finalist, but Mouz showed that their win against Falcons wasn't a fluke.

Hopefully Spirit has made the necessary adjustments because I need them to win for my entry in a giveaway. 

This is also the final teams of LCK who made it to the worlds tournament.

With these four teams already qualified, the rest of the playoffs are almost like scrim matches since there's no prize pool anymore.

[passwordnow]

Another team/organization has to say goodbye to dota2. Team Falcons bids their farewell to their dota 2 roster.

[arallmuus]

Hopefully Spirit has made the necessary adjustments because I need them to win for my entry in a giveaway. 

Which giveaway was that? I didnt see any esport related on contest on games&rounds though

Speaking of the final game, I had this one



Odds wise it was great, almost 4x and Spirit was leading the 2nd map but somehow they lost that one. Im so close on winning this

I expected Vitality to be the other finalist, but Mouz showed that their win against Falcons wasn't a fluke.

I had Team Spirit and Vitality on my semifinal acca

Overall it has been pretty decent although I lost all of my playoff tickets but Im still in profit due to the high odds winning that I got from group stage. So whats the next big tourney on the list for cs2?

I also thought it was going to be a 3-0 with Spirit leading 11-4 on Mouz first map pick, then that weird run happened where they lost 9 rounds in a row.

I also got burned on that Vitality match, but recovered some of it with Spirit winning the final.

Next on the list is FISSURE Playground, and interestingly, the highest seeded teams are 9z and Legacy. The only top 5 team playing is FURIA, while the others are sitting it out until Starladder or ESL Pro League.

I haven't bet since Vitality's victory, I've just been watching and I don't regret it because I would have lost everything betting on them again against Mouz. Spirit is really winning everything that comes their way. And they don't win by a narrow margin, despite having a 13-11 score, the other maps were all won by a large margin. And nothing indicates that they are slowing down.

Regarding Fissure, we will have 9Z, Mibr, G2, Astralis, Legacy, FaZe, Parivision and Furia. In a way it's a top-tier tournament, we won't have the top 1 to 5 ranked teams from Valve, but it will be a good tournament to bet on. I think Furia, 9z, Parivision and Legacy will win this first match.

[rohang]

Fissure playground LAN is starting tomorrow, being the rare big event for asian time zone

Its scheduled to be in 7 hours but that can easily turn to 10 hours if we go by historic delays in the asia regions lan events

Gonna go on a wild take and say legacy win this as dont see any other team except furia beat them, and they can be inconsistent sometimes

I guess Stake isnt the only gambling site with their own forum huh

I also thought it was going to be a 3-0 with Spirit leading 11-4 on Mouz first map pick, then that weird run happened where they lost 9 rounds in a row.  

It was quite a gamble there, if the odds was anything lower than 3 then I probably wouldnt even touch that

Well this is weird. Does Starladder tournament offer anything else aside from the prize money?

both Starladder and Fissure Playground are listed as S-tier and Tier 1 tournaments but Fissure has $1M prizes compared to Starladder that only offer $500k but the top teams are gathering on Starladder instead. Well Team Spirit are out on both of these so Furia and Vitality could now take their turns to win something

There's nothing else apart from prize money. Maybe it's because the venue isn't that far, with Starladder being held in Barcelona while Fissure will take place in China.

I'm a bit worried for Furia with this hectic schedule, though I get why they're attending every single event since FalleN will only be playing with them for a few more months.

I guess Stake isnt the only gambling site with their own forum huh

Yep, it wouldn't hurt to keep up with the trend.
