ESL Pro League Season 8 Betting Tips

In this section, we’ll offer some tips for making bets on the matches taking place throughout October and November. Please keep in mind that all of these matches are best of one, so the chance for upsets is higher than usual.

With that in mind, here are some of the safest bets to make throughout the European leg for ESL Pro League Season 8.

The Weaker Teams

Many of the teams in this event are very strong, but there are a few that are considerably weaker. Notably AGO and Windigo.

All of the top tier teams will want to get good seeding for the Season 8 offline finals. Because of this, they won’t let their guard down against the weaker teams. This gives us the opportunity to make low risk bets when the following teams go up against either AGO or Windigo.

  • Astralis
  • BIG
  • FaZe
  • mousesports
  • NaVi

We have confidence that these five teams will be confident enough not to make any mistakes going up against either AGO or Windigo. Because each team faces everybody twice, there is the opportunity for 20 bets here. (Two per team against both AGO and Windigo.)

Other Bets

Your betting strategy will get riskier if you plan to make any more bets besides the ones listed above. This is because the remaining teams all have the potential to trade best of ones with each other. If you’d like to make more bets, we’d suggest picking out three teams and betting on them in every single one of their match ups.

You should make very small bets, but over the full tournament, you’ll be able to place a total of 78 bets. (2 BO1 matches per 13 match ups for each of the three teams.)

Our top picks for this strategy right now would be the following:

  • Astralis
  • NaVi
  • mousesports

Thanks for reading our overview for ESL Pro League Season 8 Europe. We hope these betting tips have proven to be useful.
