betting on esports is much harder
Its harder always to pick the winner due to the larger amount of upsets in the era of online games. I lament the loss of LANS as they were most reliable matches or series of matches to bet on. So the volatility of results is up but the flip side to that is underdog bets more often pay off, I guess I should be happy about that but its always hard to know when so I'll have to be braver on making that leap.
1.90 is the 50/50 odds because some of the cut is the house take so thats how it appears.
Yea, that's true. Esports betting, especially CS:GO, was much easier before COVID-19 situation when we had LAN events and all kinds of offline events. Teams prepared specially for that kind of events. Now, when everybody is playing from their chair at home, situation is kinda different. A lot of upsets are happening, players are not playing in competitive environment and there are a lot of psychic problems, performance problems etc... So for that reason mentality of a players and team changed a lot. They had to adjust to new situation, and most of them didn't take it good. Some tournaments / matches are taken too lightly and surprises are happening. Scene is very unstable now and it's very hard to be. That's my opinion.
I'm into esports even before this virus, I've seen how the tournament vibes changes because of the hype the audience creates in the venue. However, I don't really see the lack of competitiveness they are talking about. Those players grew up playing online even in their own house, and pro players are still competitive whenever there's a game. Maybe we can't feel it cause there's not so much hype with the audience. Some of the pro players are together inside their bootcamp too. So maybe esports during this time is less hype compared to before but the pro players are still competetive just like before. I've seen it from other esports too, not just in CS and Dota 2.
Before entering a pro league, those players are already in the online scene, streaming and playing competitively to get higher ranks. As long as you're playing with good communication, it will not ruin your gameplay since it has no difference, add the pressure when you're in an actual LAN tourna.
The new setup doesn't affect them, it's clear that all of them have the same situation, they're all at disadvantage and some are taking it as an advantage. In the end, it still the same esports league, the winners are the strongest.

Yes, but usually big offline events make players more competitive. Bigger prize pools, bigger risks, bigger stakes and insane crowds. It's quite different to play in such environment. Hype is bigger too, together with all the numbers. Of course we can't know exactly, how the players feel right now or how do they feel before. I guess it's easier for CS:GO player to stay at home, play the game, don't travel a lot, don't have too much stress and earn $40k / month.

has anyone ever compared the odds of Esport matches with those of normal matches, and also to what extent the result roughly matches the offer?
1.90 odds should for example be 50-50 in the results, is that also the case with Esports, I am very curious about this.

I am sure you can find some information on the internet about it, if you study it. Depends also what you want to achieve with it? Do you want to use ir to place bets or just curiosity?
It is always nice that these Esports are continue with it, even in corona situation they were able to play. That is the big advantage.
Pitty, we lost it. NaVi won 2-1 vs OG, and Secret won 2-1 vs Nigma.
LOL, so if I were betting for OG then I am already loss with OG, I was a fan of then because of their great achievement and even winnings. They too had great plays and great combo but it seems that the match against Navi is not enough for them to advance in the league. However, win or lose I am still with OG team and that wi still follow their next match of the game.What team next scheduled for.a match? So that we can discuss too with the other team that could possibly win and advance in the next few rounds
Well OG is really strong on paper, but they are still so unstable. Their performance can vary a lot and sometimes they just disappoint.
OG vs Alliance and Nigma vs loser of Liquid / mudgolems are scheduled for tomorrow. This should be pretty interesting. I think OG ML + Mudgolems if they lose to Liquid.

Hmm, I got the point and I see what you are saying. But I would say that generally betting on esports is much harder, and in a lot of cases odds are not showing the real picture. Let's just say that in a much more cases underdogs can win in esports compared to sports.

I'm not expecting that or did I just underestimate Navi.Well, that really means that every team is strong in their own categories. Who could be easier for OG, Vikin.GG or Alliance. Still both strong teams whichever will go down to the lower bracket.
Yea, sadly NaVi managed to drop a map, as I was afraid. However, all NaVi ML bets were a win.
They are now in the upper quarterfinals.OG vs. NaVi.
Which team you are going to?

[DOTA 2] Here we go. It’s time for the ESL One Germany 2020 playoffs. 8 teams advanced from the group stage to the double elimination bracket playoffs with best of 3 matches all the way to the finals (best of 5). OG and Team Secret are the first teams to face their opponents. Let’s analyse their matches and make predictions.
OG - Natus Vincere: OG, 1.35 @ MY BETSLIP
Team Secret - Team Nigma: Secret -1.5, 1.30 @ MY BETSLIP
What an amazing start of the playoffs. The 2x TI winners will face Natus Vincere, the most legendary Dota 2 organization. OG ended their group stage run in 4th place. With 3 wins and 1 loss they showed that they are really a big contender for the title. When playing well they can surely threaten Team Secret. OG have wins vs 2 young CIS squads, Winstrike and Yellow Submarine. Both matches ended up with a clean 2-0 win for OG. They’ve got their 3rd win vs Vikin.gg, recent BTS Pro Series champions. Another 2-0 result. However, OG dropped a series to Alliance with a close 1-2 result. But that match could go either way for sure. This new Natus Vincere squad (ex FlyToMoon) ended up in 6th place in the group rankings. With 3 wins and 2 losses they needed to play 1 extra match on the final group stage day to be able to qualify for the playoffs. They’ve beat all CIS teams they faced. 2-0 vs Cyber Legacy and Winstrike and 2-1 win vs Yellow Submarine. However, in the process they’ve managed to get crushed by mudgolems with 0-2, and by Liquid with a close 1-2 score. Basically they didn’t manage to win against either of the two teams that was their direct opponent for the playoffs. I expect that OG can go really far in this competition. I can say that I expect a top 3 placement from them. They didn’t deserve anything lower than that at the moment. Their last clash vs Natus Vincere was 1 month ago in the OGA Dota Pit, where NaVi took the whole series with a 2-1 victory. Interestingly enough, I don’t think they have too big a chance here. 3 maps are possible here, but I would go for the straight winner in this case. OG have better players and with NoTail on the help, they should proceed to the next round.
I am not sure if I’m more excited for the first or second series today in ESL One Germany. Team Secret are the undisputed rulers of the European Dota 2. The best team in Europe for a mile. 7 championships in a row in Europe made them immortal in 2020. They don’t have a proper competition in Europe as there is no team that can come close to them. Their latest tournament victories are speaking for them. Seven grand finals, seven 3-0 victories. Team Secret ended up on the 1st place in the group stage rankings and they are the only team that didn’t lose a single map. Three matches, three straight 2-0 victories. They did beat Tempo Esports, Yellow Submarine and Team Liquid. On the other side there is Team Nigma. A team that is playing with a position 5 stand-in, as their coach rmN- is still playing instead of their injured captain Kuroky. Team Nigma ended up in 7th place in the group. They barely scraped through. 5 matches in total with 3 wins and 2 losses. They’ve opened this competition with a surprising 0-2 loss vs Yellow Submarine. After that they beat the worst team in the competition, Tempo Esports. Mudgolems proved too strong for Nigma at the moment as they’ve crushed them easily with 2-0. That was a breaking point for them, as they needed 2 wins from their last 2 matches potentially. A 2-0 win vs weak Winstrike brought them another chance and deciding match vs 5men. In a very close series after losing 0-1, Team Nigma managed to overcome their opponents in the next 2 maps and they won with 2-1 in the end. Very close match which showed a lot of Nigma’s weaknesses. Secret and Nigma played each other in the Beyond Epic EU/CIS grand finals, and that was their last match. It was almost 3 months ago and Team Secret were dominant there with a 3-0 win. Worst possible option for Nigma happened - to play Team Secret in the round 1 of playoffs. Sadly, I don’t think that they have too many chances here. With a stand-in and their bad play in the group stages, this should be Team Secret’s victory. 2-0 for Team Secret is very likely here as they are just on another level, especially compared to Nigma.
