Popular Esports Games to Bet On

With so many popular esports games to choose from when deciding how to bet on LEGABET, players may find it hard to pick one. Here are three of the most popular esports games worldwide (amongst many others) and a brief outline of how each works, plus some player and prize pool numbers

 

League of Legends

 

League of Legends, known as LOL, is a MOBA (massively online battle arena) game developed by Riot Games, and is arguably the most popular esports game in the world, with 150 million registered players. It also has multiple spinoff games and even a highly successful TV show adaptation. LOL’s biggest tournament, the League of Legends World Championship, had a $2,225,000 USD prize pool in 2024!

 

The MOBA genre, at its core, pits two teams of five characters each against each other on a map with three lanes, with a dense jungle full of monsters in between those lanes. The goal is to get past the opposing team, whether by sneaking by or taking them down, to destroy the opposing team’s base. 

 

Players are assisted by computer-controlled minions and immobile turrets which give gold upon being destroyed, and that gold can be used by each player to buy items and further power up their character. 

 

Professional matches in MOBAs can get very intense, with teams constantly attempting to outplay each other with attacks, and positioning, and mindgames, finding every little advantage they can exploit for more leverage.

 

 

Dota 2 

 

DOTA 2 is also a MOBA, developed by Valve, and is a spinoff of DOTA 1 (which inspired the creation of LOL). In 2021, The International, which is their biggest tournament, had a prize pool of more than $40 million!

 

The gameplay in DOTA 2 is similar to LOL with added gameplay features like terrain heights and a day-night cycle, which make it somewhat more complex and require a higher player skill level. Despite this added complexity, it is still highly popular, with an average monthly playerbase of 7.6 million players.

 

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive

 

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CSGO) is another game developed by Valve. In September 2023, CSGO recorded a count of 31 million players. 

 

It is a first person shooter (FPS) game, meaning the player sees through the eyes of a gun-wielding combatant and can buy a variety of guns to take the enemy players down. CSGO has a variety of game modes, but they generally revolve around teams competing to plant and defuse bombs, or trying to get the highest score in a match by eliminating the opposing team. CSGO matches are usually very intense affairs.

Other Popular Esports Games

 

LEGABET also offers bets on many other esports games, like Valorant (Riot’s FPS alternative to CSGO), the mobile MOBA Mobile Legends Bang Bang (a game highly popular in Southeast Asia), and loads more.
