Group stage – grassroots fights
The main battle in the Arena of Valor competition begins only at the playoff stage. And at the group stage, there is a huge difference in the level of the teams' play. Some have been training for many years, so they literally dominate their rivals, while others are just mastering the discipline and studying its features.

For the matches of the group stage, you can safely bet the total of less than 2.5 on the cards. The exception is the fights of the last game day, when teams actively allocate places and fight for survival. Even an outsider can win back one of the cards at the expense of character.

Lack of motivation – defeat of the favorite
Professional competitions in the discipline Arena of Valor are held in 5×5 format, but almost all organizations prefer to have two teams. According to the rules of tournaments, a team can bring two substitute players with it.

If the team has ensured access to the next stage of the competition, it gives the opportunity to prove themselves to all performers. But the squad is in no hurry to lay out all the best blanks on the table, and the use of two spare ones negatively affects mutual understanding. Even if the favorite meets with an obvious outsider, you can safely flirt with a positive handicap or a victory for the opponent.

Semi-finals and finals – protracted series
The main battle for the prize money and the title begins with the semi-final stage. At this point, the teams are in optimal condition and demonstrate the best game. In addition, there are only four strongest teams left, which give all the best.

The play-off stage at major competitions is held in the best-of-seven format. In the semifinals, there are no more passing matches, so the teams quite calmly break through the total of 5.5 cards. And it’s useless to play “grassroots” total in the final match and the match for the third place. There you can safely count on the teams to get to the decisive seventh map.

Absolute dominance of Asian teams
Arena of Valor received the status of an e-sports discipline quite recently, so all the teams are quite young. But it is important to understand that the release of the game took place with long time intervals – in China it went into circulation back in 2015, in Europe only in 2017, and in Russia at all at the beginning of 2020.
Therefore, at major international competitions, the bettor should carefully monitor the representatives of which countries collide with each other. The teams from Asia (China, Vietnam, Taiwan, the Philippines) look much stronger than their opponents.
