What are the bets in esports for the end of 2022?

Although nowadays the various esports events are evenly distributed throughout the year, the last months of the years always seem to contain an exceptional number of large tournaments. The end of 2022 will be a really busy time from the point of view of esports betting, as significant tournaments will be running almost every week.

It says a lot about the esports tournaments at the end of 2022 that there is still more than 50 million dollars worth of prize money up for grabs. Such sums of money are not usually distributed in very small tournaments, so the end of the year will indeed contain a lot of high-level events.

The biggest event, both from a betting point of view and also in terms of prize money, is Dota 2 's The International 2022, which will be held at the end of October this year. This tournament will see the largest total prize pool of esports tournaments ever, with a total of 45,000,000 USD. Previous records have also been seen in Dota 2's The International tournaments in previous years.

In general, from a betting point of view, the most important sports in esports are Dota 2, CSGO, and Overwatch. Other popular esports for betting include LoL Halo, PUBG, Rocket League and COD. However, according to the experts at Vedonlingötsivustoni.com, these sports are not quite as popular among bettors, and that is why several betting sites do not even offer items from these sports.

Below is a list of the most popular esports tournaments and events at the end of the year from a betting perspective. Mainly, attention has been paid to which are the most followed tournaments compared to what is available on different betting sites.

Dota 2

The rest of the year will be quite quiet for Dota 2, if you don't count The International in Singapore and other related events. The International 2022 will be held from 15 to 30 October, and will feature the largest total prize pool in esports history with a total of USD 45,000,0000 up for grabs. In addition to this tournament, there are only numerous smaller tournaments left, which do not play as significant a role from a betting point of view.

CSGO

At the end of the year, CSGO has one clear main event: IEM Rio Major 2022. This tournament, which lasts from the end of October to the middle of November, is one of the biggest CSGO events this year. From a betting point of view, the Rio Majors are also interesting in that they are divided into three categories: Challengers, Legends and Champions. The total amount of all prize money in the tournament will reach millions.

Another highly watched event will be the BLAST Premier Fall Finals 2022 in late November, with a prize pool of USD 425,000. From the point of view of Finnish esports betting, the Elisa Masters Espoo 2022 tournament in mid-November is also interesting, where the prize is up to 200,000 USD.

Overwatch

In Overwatch, from a betting point of view, there is only one really important event per year in Finland, the Overwatch League itself and its playoffs. This year's Overwatch League started already at the beginning of May and it will be available before the start of the playoffs on October 21. The Overwatch League 2022 - Playoffs tournament again starts on October 30 and ends on November 4. In total, these prize money is around six and a half million dollars.

Other esports

Outside of the three esports sports mentioned above, there are also individual events that are really popular from a betting point of view. One of the hottest events is the Worlds 2022 LoL tournament, which is already underway and ends at the beginning of November, where the total prize money is around two million dollars. Another event going on in October is the Halo World Championship 2022, which starts on the 20th and ends on the 23rd, with a total prize pool of around $1 million.

The first day of November starts the PUBG Global Championship 2022, which will certainly be a popular event on Finnish betting sites. There are about two million dollars in this tournament. Rocket League's Championsip Series 2022-23 - Fall Split Major event also starts in November. Although the prize pool is only USD 310,000, this event has a huge following and with that comes a lot of betting.

In a slight departure from the above, we will highlight 9.-11. of the CODM World Championship 2022 tournament to be held in November. This is unusual in the sense that the tournament in question is played on mobile devices. It is also surprising that even a total of approximately 1.7 million dollars is distributed in this tournament as well.
