Anyone who’s even remotely in touch with the world of video games has, at least at some point, heard about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO). Released initially simply as “Counter-Strike” more than twenty years ago, this simple yet highly competitive, first-person shooter remains one of the most popular games ever made – and for a good reason too.
Mr Roo is a big fan of CS:GO and back in June, Roobet gathered some of the best, professional CS:GO teams from all over the world. These sixteen giants clashed under the banner of the $250,000 Roobet Cup, entertaining around 75,500 viewers on average! The views skyrocketed during the finals, where BIG and FaZe competed for the champion’s title, reaching over 190,000 concurrent views!
Suffice to say, we all loved it, and going purely by statistics, we’d say that we weren’t the only ones who did. So, who’s up for some more competitive gaming?!
Events like these are not uncommon in the world of competitive gaming. There’s always a tournament of some scale, and Roobet’s Sportsbook has many ways to bet on these games! When speaking strictly of CS:GO, one of those manifestations stands above the rest: the ESL Pro League.
What started off as a collaboration between the Electronic Sports League and E-Sports Entertainment Association League is nowadays seen as the most prestigious CS:GO league in the world! Based across four of the world’s regions, it includes 24 seasonal and 12 permanent partner teams.
If you’ve seen the footage of ESL 15, or ideally, watched it live, you’ll agree that FaZe vs ENCE was full of breathtaking moments. In fact, the entire tournament was filled with adrenaline-fueled action, full of split-second decisions and marvelous twitch shots!
With ESL Pro League 16 underway since August 31st, Roobet Sportsbook is once again full of opportunities to bet on. With the prize pool of $850,000 on the plate, we can almost guarantee that each of those 34 teams will put up a show!
Ninjas in Pyjamas, Fnatic, FaZe Clan, Team Liquid, Natus Vincere, G2 eSports, BIG, Cloud9… These are only some of the highlights when glancing over the team roster.
In Group A the current favorite is NaVi, while Group C seems to be in favor of the ENCE. Odd makers seem to be favoring the FaZe Clan as both the winner of Group B and the league itself. Only time will tell whether or not these predictions will come true, and if you have a favorite of your own, place your bet in Roobet’s Sportsbook today!
ESL Pro League 16 goes on all the way through October 2nd, so we’ll have a month of nothing but “GG’s” ahead of us!
Just like with every other major sport and eSport event, Roobet’s sportsbook has it all covered! Check it out from Aug 31st to Oct 2nd, and bet on your favorite teams for some easy-peasy wins!
If CS:GO isn’t quite your cup of tea, perhaps Warcraft III, Starcraft 2, or DOTA 2 will be more to your liking? There’s something for everyone, so don’t miss out on these great bets, and be sure to check it out!
