Betting tips for FPS Esports events

1. Make the most of all available statistics: Before placing Esports bets, make sure you look at the latest stats for each team. Pay attention to metrics such as map win rates and pick and ban percentages. You should also consider pistol-round win and conversion percentages to understand how successful a team is.

2. Check LAN tournament form: Always look at each team's form coming into the tournament, especially in LAN events. Check how well teams have performed on the big stage against big teams. This is a better indicator than win/loss records alone.
