How to Bet on New Rosters and Teams in Esports?

Esports is a popular and developing kind of sport with tournaments and matches happening monthly in spite of the weather and other minor conditions of holding the tournament. 

In esports, like in any other kind of sports, there are constant reshuffles in lineups and new teams appear. Organizations that invest in teams are aimed to get maximum achievements and grabs from each tournament. If a team has unsatisfactory results in a period of time, the organizations start to clean and renew their lineup.

Every year hundreds of new teams appear on the stage. They get into fast pace and start performing at major tournaments.

If we talk about esports betting, there is no clear dynamics or sequence in this kind of sports. Here you will have to analyze battles, know all gamers and predict a possible picture of the game.

In today's article, we are going to analyze how to place bets on new teams and lineups of teams in esports. 

Victory in Debut Series

The first thing we should say is that each team gets ready for an opponent having cards up in the sleeve. For example, in Dota 2 teams prepare their choice of characters, and in CS:GO, teams lay stress on specific maps.

Popular teams can be easily read, so you can predict a possible outcome for their next matches. It is much more difficult to do the same with new teams. This is why new teams can show an unexpected result even when they play with a powerful opponent.

The primary reason for such victories is that opponents have no chance to get ready for the match. To put it otherwise, strong opponents play blind having no tactics for a game. After ten games, you can easily spot the tendency and the best sides of the team.

So, when you bet on new teams or lineups, you may opt for the fresh roster, taking into account the fact that the opponents can be not ready. 

Results at Debut Battles

It often happens that the first map is taken by the new team and if we treat the situation correctly, you may catch a good live odd and make a bet on the fresh gamers. But on the second map the strongest opponent will be playing with the information that is already available. That is why the majority of professionals recommend making bets on the results of battles on the second map.

There is no doubt that the favourite team is likely to please us with results on the second map due to the abrupt changes of the strategy.

Victory of the Favourite on the Third Map

If the favourite wins, the second map and the odds get stabilized, you should choose the favourite’s victory on the final map. The reasons are obvious:

• A new opponents does not have any worthy insights and will build the further game on the previous strategy which is something that the favourite is ready for
• After the second map, the favourite will understand the opponent’s gaming style and will be ready to demoralize the opponents in the final stage of the game.

We should say that we should not expect spectacular results at the end as the favourite of the match, as a rule, destroys the opponent within minutes. For example, in Dota 2 the third map ends in 20-25 minutes. While in CS, on third maps the minimal total is usually not broken.

Success With Teams From Regions and Failures With International Rosters

New teams usually train with teams that represent their own region so it lets them choose a suitable strategy for such battles. So it is not surprising that all meetings with foreign teams tend to be lost by fresh teams as they get defeated without any sign of fighting.

The reason is simple: there is a lack of proper training with such teams. We will also pay your attention to different kinds of technical problems with connection and high ping that have a dramatic effect on the upcoming game.

Let us take a look at some peculiarities of all regions in esports. For example, CIS teams prefer aggressive game tactics from the first minutes of the match. To put it differently, such teams do not usually have long maps.

Chinese teams try to act incredibly carefully thinking about each move in the game. But in South America teams try their luck in the first half of the game and they come to other parts of the game fully prepared.

To sum up, we see that training and initial maps are extremely necessary to prepare for opponents from other regions.

Lengthy Middles of Matches

The first thing we should mark is that making bets on the first map makes no sense, especially if the teams that play together come from different regions. Adaptation, warming-up and the desire to play their own game are mistakes on the first maps. In the middle of the game, which is on the second map, teams start showing their best. There they use the cards they have prepared and various tactics for the middle ground of the game. 

For example, you can often see how in CS one of the teams starts leading in rounds  and leaves their opponent 5-7 rounds behind. Each fresh bettor will think that this leadership is a confident bet on the leading team with the minimal odd. However, several rounds later, at the possible end of the game, the loser starts to come back to the game, shortening the gap, and wins the map.

Full Renovation of the Lineup of the Team

There are cases when the organizations buy a full roster from the opponents refreshing their own team. This way gamers with great teamwork get a new base of knowledge, all possible secrets and train additional tactics. In these cases, it is important to remember that a brand-new roster will do their best in all their next matches trying to keep their own position in the new team. With these results, you can be sure about a bet on such a team.

Conclusion

It is important to mark that in esports while replacing even one player in a team, you may face troubles with further results. If the whole roster is changed, they will need additional training, new insights, teamwork and understanding between gamers.

Taking all the mentioned aspects of gaming in esport into consideration, all bettors will be able to find the best matches for betting, making the most profitable bets and increasing their own gaming bank.
