Substitutions in Dota 2
The esports discipline Dota 2 is distinguished by a rather high complexity of interaction between performers. For the final victory, it is necessary to conduct fights ideally, which is possible only with complete mutual understanding of the players.
First match with new player – defeat
Practice shows that in Dota 2, even the absence of one performer can become a serious problem for world-class teams. It takes time for the team to get used to the new player and build rapport. In this esports discipline, a 4v5 performance (stand-in looks like a separate unit) becomes a failure.

For example, before ESL One Los Angeles 2020 – Online: North America, the strongest team in North America, Evil Geniuses, had to attract two substitutes at once. And with them the organization looked powerful, winning the title. But the starting fight went to the buildup and went to the opponent's piggy bank.

Card with a substitute player – total under 33.5 minutes
In extraordinary situations, the performer stands for the team only on a separate map. This usually happens when the core player is having problems with the Internet connection or PC access. In this case, the stand-in simply does not have the ability to disagree and is forced to immediately enter the virtual battlefield.

This example eloquently describes the Alliance game that took place at ESL One Los Angeles 2020: Europe & CIS. In the match against Ninjas in Pajamas, the second and third maps turned out to be extremely equal and protracted. And on the starting map Lil urgently took the fourth position and the team literally crumbled under the onslaught of the opponent.

First Base Player Returns – 2-0 Win
You can use substitutions from the opposite principle. Even after a long hiatus, the return of the main player is a momentous event. And the key in such a situation is not so much the revived synergy between the performers, but the inspiration of the reunited line-up and an excellent emotional background.

An example is the performance of Team Adroit at ONE Esports Dota 2 SEA League. With the substitute performer, the team lost points for five matches in a row. And the very first fight after the reunion of the main team ended with a confident victory with a score of 2: 0 on the cards.

The substitution factor in CS: GO
In Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, substitutions work in a completely different way and are no longer forced, since the individual skill of the performers comes to the fore. And many eminent and stellar teams prefer to have several spare ones in order to throw them into battle at the right time.
Low Individual Total Kills of the Substitute
Astralis team demonstrates a unique approach to the institution of substitutions. She signed three substitutes at once, which she can use at her discretion. One of the top performers, “dupreeh”, announced that they will now rotate the lineup for each individual map, which can reveal the best qualities of each substitute.

For example, “jUGi” invariably appears as a substitute player in the Train location. This is due to the performer's ability to perform with AWP, which is best for open maps. But in such a narrow role, the player is focused on his tasks and rarely overtakes his partners in performance. And on small maps, the mastery of clutches comes to the fore, where es3tag comes in.

First match with substitution – total over 2.5 cards
Demonstrating perfect play in the first fight with a new partner is almost impossible. Of course, the team with a high degree of probability will still bring the matter to the final victory. But it is almost impossible to pick up an opponent's card without proper teamwork and mutual understanding. Therefore, we can safely hope that the starting match with the substitution player will end on top.

An example is the performance of Team North in Quartet B at the cs_summit 6 Online: Europe tournament. Four out of five matches of the group stage ended with a score of 2: 0, and only in the first match of the “northerners” with a spare did the rivals reach the third map.

conclusions
In Dota 2, the institution of substitutions is rather poorly developed, and players are forcedly invited as stand-ins. But in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, this approach to team building is gaining in popularity. All of the above features must be taken into account in the betting process.
