The inaugural EWC featured top teams from every region duking it out on a massive stage, not only with a ton of prize money on the line but also allowing teams a platform to show what they got.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>To understand the relative performance of each esports title in terms of betting and viewership, Abios has analyzed viewership figures and Kambi betting data from Counter-Strike, Dota 2 and LoL from 3-22 July. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Esports World Cup &#8211; The big three esports betting performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EWC was the first time League of Legends (LoL), Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) and Dota 2 were featured as part of the same tier-1 competition. Although relatively high prize pools, the competitions in CS2 and LoL only featured 4 days of gameplay each. In comparison, Dota 2 saw one of the larger tournaments in its yearly circuit, Riyadh Masters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, CS2 and LoL each saw higher spikes in betting volumes, speaking to the popularity of the titles. With new, shorter tournament formats, the ambiguity as to what teams would win could have also played a role in making the tournaments more engaging to bet on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"639\" src=\"https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-1024x639.png\" alt=\"esports-world-cup-betting-per-title-graph-abios-2024\" class=\"wp-image-3752\" data-full=\"https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2.png\" data-full-size=\"2974x1856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-1024x639.png 1024w, https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-1536x959.png 1536w, https:\/\/abiosgaming.com\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Esports-World-Cup-Turnover-2-2048x1278.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 958px) 958px, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Esports World Cup betting turnover 3-22 July 2024 based on Abios\/Kambi betting data<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Counter-Strike 2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Counter-Strike 2 took place on July 17 &#8211; 21, with 15 of the best teams in the world competing for a prize pool of over $1 million.

This is likely due to the tournament being much longer than other titles, being part of the ESL Pro Tour instead of a standalone event, and having the second-largest prize pool in the entire Dota 2 yearly tournament circuit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A $5 million prize pool brought out the best of the best, including Entity, Virtus.Pro, beastcoast, and LGD Gaming in Group A and Heroic, PSG Quest, nouns, and MOUZ in Group B. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the end, Gaimin Gladiators beat out Team Liquid in the Grand Finals after beating them in another 2-0 sweep in the Upper Bracket Finals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">We were looking for that speedrun record.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RiyadhMasters?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RiyadhMasters<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/EsportsWorldCup?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#EsportsWorldCup<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/g08bFOxEgf\">pic.twitter.com\/g08bFOxEgf<\/a><\/p>&mdash; GG | Gaimin Gladiators \u2694\ufe0f (@GaiminGladiator) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GaiminGladiator\/status\/1815759766280393104?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 23, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EWC Dota 2 betting statistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Live vs Pre-match Betting <\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Live<\/strong> <\/td><td><strong>Pre-match<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>% of turnover <\/td><td>64%<\/td><td>36%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">EWC Dota 2 2024\/07\/09 &#8211; 2024\/07\/22 Abios\/Kambi betting data <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top matchups EWC Dota 2*<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team 1<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Team 2<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>% of turnover<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Entity<\/td><td>BetBoom Team<\/td><td>5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Team Liquid<\/td><td>Tundra Esports<\/td><td>5%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Team Falcons<\/td><td>Gaimin Gladiators<\/td><td>4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Team Spirit<\/td><td>Team Liquid<\/td><td>4%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gaimin Gladiators<\/td><td>Team Liquid<\/td><td>4%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">EWC Dota 2 2024\/07\/09 &#8211; 2024\/07\/22 Abios\/Kambi betting data <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>*With the group stage, teams met each other several times.

This was followed by Team Liquid versus Team Falcons at 334K and Gaimin Gladiators versus Team Falcons at 321K. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dota 2 Esports Ahead<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from The International, DreamLeague Season 24 is coming in October. The participants of this big event are still unknown. Right now, Team Liquid seems to be in a solid position. The organization has a lot of momentum. After getting 9th to 10th in DreamLeague Season 23, the team took second at the largest major of the year two months later, Riyadh Masters. Then, Team Liquid easily took first in Elite League Season 2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans are clearly rooting for Team Liquid&#8217;s return to form. The team has consistently ranked high in big tournaments over the course of 2024, and DreamLeague Season 24 could be another W, thanks to fan support, determination, and skill. Sportsbooks can also benefit from keeping an eye on the team, as TL could be considered the underdog in some matchups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">League of Legends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The EWC LoL tournament had a lot of discourse online, with some fans arguing that it &#8220;doesn&#8217;t matter&#8221; because it&#8217;s not an official event. But with real cash on the line and the biggest teams competing, it still reflected the top talent and how we can expect them to perform later in the year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>T1 unsurprisingly became the victors of the League of Legends tournament at EWC, beating TOP Esports in the finals. To get to the top, T1 fought Billibi Gaming and Team Liquid, with both games ending with a 2-1 victory. But incredible plays from Faker kept the team ahead of the competition until the very end, allowing them to take home $400,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">EWC LoL betting statistics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Live vs Pre-match Betting <\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Live<\/strong> <\/td><td><strong>Pre-match<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>% of turnover <\/td><td>59%<\/td><td>41%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">EWC LoL 2024\/07\/03 &#8211; 2024\/07\/08 Abios\/Kambi betting data <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top matches to bet on in EWC LoL<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team 1<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Team 2<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tournament Stage<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>% of turnover<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>T1<\/td><td>Top Esports<\/td><td>Grand Finals <\/td><td>24%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Bilibili Gaming<\/td><td>T1<\/td><td>Quarterfinals<\/td><td>18%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Team Liquid<\/td><td>Fnatic<\/td><td>Quarterfinals<\/td><td>15%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>T1<\/td><td>Team Liquid<\/td><td>Semifinals<\/td><td>14%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Top Esports<\/td><td>G2 Esports<\/td><td>Semifinals<\/td><td>12%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">EWC LoL 2024\/07\/03 &#8211; 2024\/07\/08 Abios\/Kambi betting data <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Top teams to bet on EWC LoL<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Team <\/strong><\/td><td><strong>% of turnover<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Top Esports<\/td><td>3%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>T1<\/td><td>2%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>G2 Esports<\/td><td>1%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Gen.G<\/td><td>1%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>FlyQuest<\/td><td>1%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">EWC LoL 2024\/07\/03 &#8211; 2024\/07\/08 Abios\/Kambi betting data <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Viewership<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the negative rants, the League of Legends tournament was a massive success at the Esports World Cup.
