It's impossible to mention the top eSports games around today without talking about Dota 2. It's ranked as one of the most popular eSports games, with over a million active users. Dota 2 Betting has one of the largest markets at GGBet. Its popularity also attracts lucrative odds and bonuses that may not be found at other eSports. Read on to learn more about Dota 2 and how to wager wisely on it at GGBet.

Dota 2 Gameplay Mechanics and Elements

Dota 2 is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) styled game that features two teams of five intending to destroy the enemy's base called "ancient". It's an advanced MOBA game compared to League of Legends.

Types of Dota 2 Bets

Dota 2 betting is generally known to have many markets, but GGBet even has more uncommon markets! Some of them include:

Match Winner

This is the simplest Dota 2 odds. You have to predict who will win the entire face-off among both teams in contention.

Handicap Betting

The handicap betting option is only open for face-offs with three or more games in the series. For example, if you give Flash Clan a handicap of -1.5 against Bloody Lotus, they must win the three-game series 2-0.

First Team To

First blood: is an eSports term for the first kill in the game. You may bet on which team or player draws the first blood in the game.

First to destroy a Tower: Towers are defensive buildings that are placed by each team and specific parts of the lanes. They have fixed range and damage and attack enemies that stray close to them.

First to Slay Roshan: There are neutrals in Dota 2 called creeps. They attack both factions in the game alike if provoked. The strongest creep is called Roshan. Killing it gives you special buffs and equipment.

Map Winner

While Dota 2 has the same map for all games except for special mods, you can bet on who will win the first map or second at GGBet.

Totals

This Dota 2 betting option allows you to bet over or under a specific line for each parameter. It may include total kills, total Roshan spawned and total towers. For example, if you bet the kills to be over 40.5, meaning the total number of kills in the game must be over 41 and above.

Major Dota 2 Tournaments and Leagues

Dota 2 is known to have the largest pool size of any tournament in eSports ever, with The International (TI) 2021 pooling a prize pool above $41 Million! There are also other massive Dota 2 tournaments with lucrative Dota 2 odds.

Riyadh Masters

This ESL-hosted tournament has the third largest prize money in eSports, only behind Fortnite World Cup and another Dota 2 tournament, The International. The tournament is a part of the Gamers8 Cybersports Festival, and only Dota 2 is played. It is usually held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Dota Pro Circuit

This tournament involves a series of major tournaments across 6 different international regions; North America, South America, China, Eastern Europe, Asia and Western Europe. The top 12 teams after the series of tours in the regional league get an invite to The International. It is usually seen as a playoff for the premier competition.

The International (TI)

TI is the biggest Dota 2 tournament and arguably the biggest eSports tournament. It is usually one of the most anticipated for the year partly because of its large prize pool and also because of the quality usually on display, given how complex Dota 2 is.

How Do Dota 2 Betting Odds Work?

Understanding how betting odds work is necessary for you to know the right Dota 2 betting to wager on. The betting odds are usually displayed in either Decimal, Fractional or American odds format.

Decimal Odds: This is the simplest way in which odds are displayed. They are usually shown in decimal figures starting from 1.0. Calculating your payout is very easy with it as well. All you have to do is multiply the odds by your wager amount.
Fractional Odds: This odd type is common in Europe. It primarily indicates the profit you're winning on a wager. If you place a $20 wager on a market with odds of 3/2 fractional odds, your profit will be $20 × 3, $60 the dividend by 2, $30. However, your total payout will be $30 + your initial wager of $20, which is $50.
American Odds: They are usually indicated in values of 100. It is usually called money line odd format, and it may be preceded by a negative (-) or positive (+) sign. If a market has American Dota 2 odds of -180, it means you need to wager $180 to win $100 extra. If it has +180, you will win $180 if you wager $100 on the market.

Understanding this gives a better insight into Dota 2 odds as well as helps you to make a better decision when you decide to place your wagers.
