Esports betting
In addition to a large number of club competitions, tournaments for national teams are becoming more and more popular in e-sports disciplines every season. Within their framework, teams in which at least three out of five players represent one country fight for the prestige and honor of this state, as well as for a solid prize fund.
In 2019, Valve made an official statement about its readiness to support competitions among national teams, to bring them to a higher level.
But the particular interest in these tournaments is due to the fact that members of the national team do not always know each other personally, play in the same team or even in the same region. They have to play together in the shortest possible time, get used to the manner of each other's play. What should you pay close attention to in order to place the correct national team match in eSports?

Dota 2
Dota 2 competitions attract particular interest, as the teams try to invite the best performers from various teams. But there are a number of cases when it is simply necessary to bet on a particular team.
The strongest national teams are players of the same team
On the club scene, many teams adhere to the mono-ethnic principle in which all esports players represent one country. In this case, the national team prefers to attract performers who have long been played and understand each other well to participate in tournaments. You can bet on such a team not only in each individual match, but also swing at its final victory in the competition.
For example, the Philippines national team took part in the World Electronic Sports Games 2018, the ranks of which were defended by the players from the TNC Predator team. The team skated through all the rivals in qualifying without any special problems, and then won the title at the main stage.

First map in the playoffs – TM 35.5 minutes
The national teams, due to their less teamwork, are highly dependent on a successful start of the meeting. If the team has lost the beginning, then most likely it will not be able to bring the game to the final victory, and there are simply no prepared strategies to overcome this situation. For this reason, quite often the team prefers to quickly surrender and proceed to the next meeting, not to be subjected to unnecessary dismoral.
For example, in the main part of World Electronic Sports Games 2018, eight episodes were held. Only in one of them the first map exceeded the mark of 35.5 minutes, and even in that team they outplayed quite a bit. Keen Gaming and EHOME battled each other for 36 minutes and 32 seconds.

The Russian national team is traditionally strong
CIS teams are usually extremely sensitive to the honor of their country, so they try not only to invite the best players, but also create the most comfortable conditions for them. The Russian national team consists not only of players, like some rivals, but also includes an analyst, coach, psychologist. All this has a positive effect on the microclimate in the team, helps to achieve the desired result.
The Russian national team almost always gets to the decisive stages of the final tournament. And at World Electronic Sports Games 2017, the team became the winner of the competition. Then it brought together absolutely the best performers, who were simply not equal in their position in the country.

The trend for TM by cards
The national teams are much weaker than the clubs in terms of morale, since all players are well aware that after the end of the tournament they will calmly go to their organizations. For this reason, after the first map, the team usually gives up, completely stops resisting. And the favorite calmly brings matters to a victory with a score of 2: 0.
A very good option for betting on qualifying rounds is TM 2.5 on maps, as strong national teams make their way down the grid without any problems

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
In this discipline, the opposite trend is observed, very few clubs resort to creating a mono-national composition. Therefore, it is very rare for a well-played national team to come to the tournament, capable of beating any opponent without any problems, sometimes sensations happen.
First round of the playoffs – win over two maps
Surprisingly, this pattern works like a Swiss watch. Pairs are formed based on the results of the group stage, so strong teams face outright outsiders. Nobody wants to give in, but the favorites are trying to save their strength for decisive confrontations, so they deal with their rivals without any special problems.
For example, at the main tournament of World Electronic Sports Games 2018 at the 1/8 finals stage, all eight confrontations ended with a score of 2: 0, and in some of them the second map frankly resembled a beating.

Finals Cards – TB 25.5 by Round
At the start of the tournament, players do not always have time to get used to each other, some meetings end very quickly, and there are also cards with a score of 16: 0. But the teams are coming up to the finals in an optimal state, they feel the game perfectly. In addition, only the best and most proven maps are selected, there is no time for experiments. An excellent option for a bet is 25.5 TB in rounds for each individual map of the decisive series.

Match for 3rd place – TS 2: 0
If a serious battle usually takes place in the finals, then the consolation match for the third place turns out to be one-card. The team that lost on the first map is not going to waste extra energy, and sometimes it is simply not ready to fight morally, so it gives up the second one without much struggle.
This trend can be successfully applied both in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and in Dota 2.
