Everyone interested in eSports is well aware of the industry’s rapid growth in the last couple of years.

Esports Organizations and Betting
Before sharing any details about betting on eSports and the organizations, it’s worth knowing that brands with the most players are not necessarily the most successful ones. Sure, Team Liquid is among them, but organizations like Natus Vincere, Cluld9, Faze Clan, G2 Esports, and LGD Games were not there.
People who focus on eSports betting and want to bet on different organizations need to be careful. Esports is one of those industries where things change fast. The fact that an organization is a household name in a given sport doesn’t mean it’s always the best. That’s why there are a few things you should consider.
Check whether there have been any roster changes
The first and most important aspect to check about a given organization is whether it has had any recent roster changes. Some orgs decide to drop their entire squad and get a new one, even in eSports titles where they are among the best. This will always have an effect on their performance, and it can affect your results.
Always check the latest performance
Before betting on eSports or anything else, you must check what happened in a given team/player’s previous match. This is extremely important in eSports and even more so in instances when you want to bet on a specific organization.
Besides the roster changes mentioned earlier, other things can also have an impact on a given organization’s results. Things like changes in the managing department, controversies, salary cutoffs, and so on usually have an impact.
Don’t forget the partnership deals
Some of the world’s best eSports organizations partner with many brands. It’s widespread to find leading bookies among the list of sponsors as well, so always check that before you decide to bet.
If a given bookmaker sponsors a specific organization, you should check the site to see if it has any exclusive deals. It’s common for bookmakers to offer special odds or even exclusive bonuses for these teams.
The Future of eSports Organizations
If you have been following eSports for a while, you know that most big organizations came from Europe, the US, South Korea, and China. These places continue to have a key role in the industry, but we also need to add Saudi Arabia. Many people say this is the golden age of eSports because Saudi Arabia invested more than $38B in this industry.
Considering the large investment and the growing popularity of eSports, we expect to see a lot more organizations in the future. If you take a look at various eSports charts, you can see that betting is one of the main sources of funding and popularizing the industry. Therefore, we would not be surprised if there are even more collaborations and/or other deals between leading bookies and big eSports brands and tournaments in the future.
