5 tips for predicting match results in less popular E-sports

The E-sports niche is growing more and more in Brazil and you may be wondering how to take advantage of this in your predictions. Currently, platforms usually have around 5 to 10 sports in this category alone.

That's why it's natural for strategists to look for lesser-known esports, different markets, a 1-real betting shop and other solutions to diversify their predictions.

In this article, in particular, we'll present tips for betting on the first option. Follow along before confirming your next odds!

First things first: 4 selected E-Sports

We've selected some E-sports that aren't as popular in Brazil as Counter-Strike, Valorant and Fortnite. Our list includes the following electronic games:

1. Starcraft - present on several betting sites.
2. Rainbow Six - less popular, but you'll find it in many bookmakers.
3. King of Glory.
4. Honour of Kings.

If you want to go the extra mile and stand out from other punters, these are some good opportunities.

5 general tips: how to bet on esports

Next, we'll give you some tips for betting on two of the e-sports mentioned above. First, here are the essential tips, which apply to any of them:

1. Bet on games you know. Really get to know them. Take advantage of the fact that they are readily available and try to play them to get to know the nuances of your chosen target.
2. Analyse, study and understand the odds. How do they each work? For example, do you know what a handicap is? In some E-sports, there are odds and types of bets specific to the game. Looking them up can be interesting.
3. Get to know the community, the main portals, experts and the best teams and players.
4. Study the context - map betting, for example, is very common in eSports. By comparing each map and scenario with the style of the team and player, you can make smarter predictions.
5. Concentrate exclusively on a single, less popular eSports game. If you try to cover and master the nuances of several games, you'll end up acquiring a superficial and general knowledge of each one, with no depth in any of them.

Starcraft - how to better bet on the game

Starcraft is a real-time strategy game divided between three types of characters: Zerg, Protoss and Terrans. In this E-sport, the player controls one of these three and the mission is to assemble an army to defeat the rival team.

As in any other sport, just betting on the best player may not be the best option here. It's interesting to look for lesser-known players, study lesser-known leagues and perhaps invest in these options.

With bets available for the winners, number of maps and handicap, you can explore different markets in Starcraft.

When analysing two teams, for example, a bet that can stand out is the total number of maps. If the match promises a lot of balance, betting on more maps can be interesting.

Rainbow Six - betting tips

Because it's less popular, you might not find so many markets for Rainbow Six. But here's a positive point. Less competition.

The gameplay of this E-sport is simple. Two teams alternate between attack and defence in search of 13 points to win. There are five players on each side. It's an FPS, like Counter-Strike. In it, you can guess:

• Winner per round.
• Player statistics, players with the most losses, the most headshots, etc.
• Winner of the match and winner by map.

As you would in football, it's interesting to analyse and compare players. With rounds lasting only 3 minutes, an interesting bet could be, for example, in live mode. That way, you can exploit the changes and unpredictability in your favour.

Virtual bets, but real chances

In this quick article, you learnt about some e-Sports and some unique tips for betting on them. Over time, the trend is for this market to grow even more.

So prepare yourself, study and who knows, maybe in a few months or years you'll be excelling at betting. Remember: always approach this activity with awareness and, first and foremost, as a form of entertainment. Safety and well-being come first.
