Esports betting
Cybersport teams have several alternative development paths. Some rely on young performers who, over time, should gain experience and open up. Others immediately invite the superstars of the professional scene and rely solely on their individual prowess.

Dota 2 stars
Dota 2 is one of the most difficult esports disciplines. And for a stable result, a perfect understanding of the performers is necessary. But lately, large organizations are moving towards acquiring five superstars who are able to decide the fate of the game moment through individual skill.
Dream-team
One of the most striking examples was the roster of OG, two-time champions of The International. N0tail (one of the best fives of the decade) and Topson (mid-opening of the last two seasons) remained from the old roster. SumaiL was invited to take the position of carry, and he recorded the victory at The International 2015 in his track record. MidOne (the former mid-lane of Team Secret) went to the offlane and had to master a new role for himself. And only the fourth position was taken by the not so eminent Saksa, who at the same time has 10,000 MMR and earned $ 995,028 in his career.

But the results of the team suggest that he looks rather mediocre. In 2020, the team did not win a single major official tournament. The same applies to those organizations that have chosen a similar development path. Virtus.pro got all the top performers in the CIS region. But it also does not differ in the stability of the results. In North America, the Evil Geniuses team has brought together the best performers from around the world. And Fnatic is the thunderstorm of Southeast Asia due to its regional superstar roster.

It is better not to bet on the victory of “dream-team” for several reasons at once. First, the bookmaker offers a fairly low odds. Secondly, this option often openly fails. In this case, side bets are ideal.

Will there be Godlike – yes
Star performers are more often than not focused solely on their acting. They do not sacrifice themselves for the sake of partners and most often at an important moment in a fight they can simply retreat. In addition, such players often rush into the battle at the very end, so they calmly take their wounded rivals. In matches with individually strong Godlike performers (a series of 9 kills in a row, ed.), This happens almost always.
Moreover, even if the team looks bad during the whole match and some players have bad KDA, the leader still gives out an impressive streak of frags.

Duration of matches – TM 33.5 minutes
Individually strong performers can hardly endure defeats, and during the meeting they perfectly understand the moment when they can no longer turn the situation in their direction. Therefore, the players give up pretty quickly if something starts to go not according to their scenario.

There are two main options for the development of events – either the “dream-team” quickly knocks the opponent off the map, or it feels the weakness of its draft and resigns. This helps to avoid unnecessary morale problems.

CS: GO Star Player Betting
In the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive discipline, Dream-Team win much more often. In this game, the individual skill of the performers decides much more strongly.
Dream teams
Recently, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive has more and more organizations that exclusively invite superstars. A striking example is the FaZe Clan team, which relies on the individual skill of its performers. Only rain and NiKo remained from the old roster (the second is in the TOP-10 shooters in Europe). Then the squad was joined by the best Brazilian player coldzera and the Latvian talent broky. The fifth was Bymas, a child prodigy from Lithuania.

Such a squad has not seen the first places for months, and the percentage of its victories sometimes dropped to 50. mousesports, Ninjas in Pajamas, Team Liquid followed the same path. But here it is very convenient to bet on the individual performance of the performers.
In-game leader – a large number of headshots
Each team has a coordinator who, throughout the round, stays behind with a powerful device and takes aim at wounded enemies. It is he who tries to quickly destroy the enemy players, and the task of the partners is to have a large amount of impact. In superstar teams, the individual skill of the game leader (coldzera in FaZe Clan) is so high that he consistently scores the most headshots.

Winning the first and 16th rounds
The main indicator of individual skill in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is considered to be the filigree control of pistols. Therefore, the team can lose the entire map or even a series. But due to the impeccable shooting of each performer, the “dream-team” almost always takes the starting round of each half into its piggy bank. For such teams, the percentage of starting rounds exceeds 70.

conclusions
Dream-team in eSports too often resembles a “soap bubble”, because for a stable result you need game chemistry and the highest level of mutual understanding. But you shouldn't completely abandon bets on such teams – you can safely pay attention to additional betting options.
