Valorant, it's something new first person shooter right? Well honestly I don't have trust on new launched game maybe a year after since mostly new launched games still have some problems, glitches, bugs or something like that maybe a year after or some months after good updates I could consider betting on it. It's great to see E-sports getting bigger and bigger having a lot of tournaments lately really boost the E-sports.

There's a possibility that there will also be a draft picking in Valorant, the only problem that prevents this is the lack of characters we have to choose from. I have played the game quite allot now and I am enjoying it. It was really a good game but quite easier compared to CSGO. I can say, the future of ESPORT betting will include Valorant as the hype is still building up. In addition, I often see Valorant tournaments in social media and I even join one.

This game will really hit big in the coming years, I've been playing dota 2 and lol. But I am never addicted to fps games. My aim is not really good and I can't really enjoy fps, but then I tried to play this one and got really addicted to it. I like how the gameplays work. Different characters and skills is the bomb here, I can find and do something valuable for the team cause I ain't good in shooting. I can't really rely on my aiming skills only, so the skills and the different chacters here treally makes the game really entertaining for me.

It's been sometime since the game was out and we don't need to argue that it really pique the interest of the players from other FPS like CSGO and Fortnite, but as time passes, players are now noticing these weapons, characters and strats that is OP within the game. They needed to fix these since it might affect the players and would affect bettings too, also, it would take some time before it even go toe to toe with dota 2. Dota 2 is breaking records when it comes to prize pots, that would interest more players into the game also means more active bettors.

No Joke! if it becomes like Dota 2, its whole market will flourish because we can see how Dota 2 gained some support from their event every year. Now that their Dota 2 Battle Pass is about to end the world competition will come and you can see how this game became so popular because one of the reasons is almost every country in the world knows this game and everyone has their own unique skills on how to counter their opponent. I hope Valorant has this kind of popularity in the future and players all around the world will be gathered for their international competition.

I haven't heard of this game yet. I have been playing first person shooting game like crossfire, Pubg, ros, and many more for quite some time but this game called valorant I haven't heard at all. Did anyone bet on it alreadt like CS:GO?. As previous post mentioned that esports are not much into betting.

It should be organized by known esports organizers to get players as well to get sponsors. Some may not take it seriously if it's not organized as well plan by those we are used in doing these events as the money will be hard to put into just anyone. Hopefully once there's a organizational  who will start it valorant will be more popular in esports betting.

Yes, why not. I am into esports and I know how good valorant is. It would be much popular as dota 2 only if it met the satisfaction it gives to dota 2 players/bettors. Because as you have said, it is the same as csgo with a little twist just like overwatch, it means that the possible players/bettors might be coming from these popular games.

Not much games are concentrating on esports, they are just happy with the player's income only few games are getting them into the next level by competitive leagues all over the world, different characters with different special powers and more realistic gameplay experience which needs real skills to win it.

I played CS for years when I was younger, can't remember the first version 1.5 (or something like that). I am playing LoL for 3 seasons already, and I really enjoy playing it. And now we have Valorant, combination of cs and lol, interesting I can say. I started installation, I will definitely try this one!
From time to time I watch some pro LoL games, I like to see how pro's are playing, but I don't bet on them. But do you know what would be really interesting for me? Are you aware of Bitcoin talk poker series https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/4-bitcointalk-poker-series-swc-poker-006-btc-big-btc-ticket-by-swc-5271735? Can we find time and players, and we to play League of Legends or Valorant? To make some series with some buy in, or we don't need to start with series right away, we can try to organize some games and to see how will it go? With some small buy in, in the beginning, winners take it all! Can we do something like that, or at least try?

I think it's because the developers already know they have to be able to spread their wings to always improve quality and attract new players and keep old players still playing this game because if there is no development like that it will make them bored and won't play the game that again, it is even better if it is developed by guessing the competition by adding functions such as gambling with coins in the game.

This might be true, Mobile games today are really good and some people preffer playing mobile games because of the lack of access on a PC. There is so much factors why some people are attracted on mobile games over PC games. Some big games are converted into mobile games like PUBG and COD that is reigning on mobile game platforms. This might happen into valorant if the developers want it to happen but as of now, PC gaming is their focus. People love competitiveness and valorant have it, No wonder if valorant became a mainstream game for everyone who love FPS.

Let me first answer this question about the popularity of Valorant compared to Dota 2.

When Valorant first released, more than 3 million players have played the closed beta¹ as compared to CSGO's closed beta to only 45,000 players. Of course, taking into consideration that Valve released only limited number of beta keys, we still have to appreciate the fact that Valorant took everyone by storm.

About its player count, reportedly, CSGO has lost more than 500,000 of its players ever since Valorant was released.² Even with the recent release of CSGO's Shattered Web Collection which also increased its player count, it still lost when Valorant was released on the platform.




Valorant Betting in the E-Sports Platform

Now let us talk about betting. Since we have established that Valorant has been dominating the FPS platform and more and more CSGO professional players have been switching to Valorant, what could be the possible future for its E-SPORTS betting?

According to the chart below³, the viewership in Valorant on Twitch has been decreasing over the past months ever since the game was released. Although this has been the case, it still ranks to #9 on the viewership count in Twitch. So the potential of the game getting bigger on the next few months will most likely happen and E-SPORTS betting will soon be considered.

My personal thoughts on the future of Valorant and its potential betting platform

The game has been out for a couple of months now and its popularity has been dominating the FPS platform. It is a new game which introduced several mechanics and shooting fundamentals in CSGO with an introduction of "abilities and powers" which gave the game a completely fresh experience to old CSGO players and to new players as well in the FPS scene.

I highly believe that betting in Valorant will soon materialize and become popular as the time passes by given that its competitive scene grows every day as Riot tries its best to reach out to these teams.

I watched valorant gameplay on Youtube live as well and it looks like combination of other existing games with better gaming experience.Probably it could be one of the major game on esport games but in my opinion mobile games will attract more users than PC games nowadays because game specs getting increased so the requirement as well whereas smartphones are getting cheaper and everyone starts to hold high end devices in 2020.

Valorant is one of the mainstream online FPS games that is being played by many gamers.


As you can see on FB.GG or facebook gaming that Valorant is one of the most played games by many streamers.

Meanwhile in twitch.tv, Valorant is also the most played game.


I've been playing valorant for how many months and I really see a potential in this online game. A lot of tournaments happened in each country and I assure you that the world championship of Valorant will have the same viewership to Dota2 and LoL. Since my genre of online game is FPS, I already managed to climb on higher elo with my aiming skills, always playing in the whole day because it's so interesting.

There are a lot of first person shooter games and for me Valorant is one of the bests. But I still prefer Call of duty because it is one of the best childhood games at all times. If you will ask me which one I would prefer I will chose Call of Duty because it has the better graphics and the population of the players who plays Call of Duty are greater than Valorant gamer.s

The hype in esports is really in Valorant right now, I am not just 100% sure about it, but most of the esports page in our country Philippines, is conducting numerous tournaments in Valorant.

I just want to share, I am currently Gold 2 and previous Plat 2 last season, and I really enjoy playing this game in a point that I bought in game gun skins, and even merchs such as tshirt.

Going back, if there will be esports betting in valorant, it would be nice to not just bet but also become a participant of the matches. I hope I could improve my aiming but sadly, I think there's no hope.   

It is possible, I've been playing valorant for a month now, I may not be that good in playing but I think it will be successful. Its like a CS GO but you will never be tired of playing it because of the different characters and skills you can play with. Its unpredictable too, you have to be a good fps player but you have to be cautious with all the character skills too. It really has depth of playing and I think it can be successful to gamble on.

Its a new game so there should be changes happening in the coming months for it to be better. New maps and heroes are exciting too. Twitch streamers are into valorant now, it means they love the game. It REALLY has a great potential.

Is that high? Like global elite?


It's more flashy than CS for sure. More appealing to younger audience.

I find it like buildt for corner camping. There's so many camp spots and maps are built a bit like tight mazes with a lot of hallways.
 
It's not bad overall might play some more if I had more free time.

Aren't all games especially those that require team strategies and tactics do often end up being supported in a lot of gambling platforms and even being gambled offline? That's the power of esports and its community. As it grows, the gamblers often tend to go with the hype as well. As the community of eSports grow larger, the betting prize do grow as well, especially with the billions of prize pool in DotA tournament alone.

Valorant soon will be defeating the prizepool of CSGO, with the fact that some CSGO are enjoying playing Valorant.
