The best esports teams and players

Esport teams in different games

If gamblers have a particular game in mind, it is wise to choose a team that has done very well in tournaments for this title. High-profile teams tend to focus on one of the eight biggest video games.

Age of Empires

Aftermath, Team GamerLegion, Vietnam Legends (VNA), and Suomi are well regarded for playing this real-time strategy (RTS) title. Other groups to look out for are Rulers of Rome, Clown Legion, Team Secret, Infinity Legends, Dark Empire, and Tempo Storm.

Apex Legends

Currently, more than 100 million people enjoy this multiplayer shooter. However, only a handful of teams have gained attention within the gambling community. The number of players continues to grow thanks to the release of the new Apex Legends seasons. During tournaments, gamblers should look out for Team Liquid, Fnatic, Evil Geniuses, Natus Vincere, and Virtus.pro.

Arena of Valor

This game is fairly distinctive within esports because teams have to be exceptional at mobile gameplay. Valor shares many similarities with League of Legends, so there is some overlap in the top players for each title. Dota champions also tend to be good at Valor. Groups that have done well in tournaments include Royal Never Give Up, EDward Gaming, Rogue Warriors, Talon Esports, Buriram United Esports, Qiao Gu Reapers, and eStar Gaming.

Battlefield

In contrast to other games on this list, Battlefield only has a couple of very successful teams. These are PENTA Sports and Epsilon eSports. First-person shooters tend to be very common within esport tournaments. However, Battlefield is only just beginning to gain as much recognition as similar titles such as COD and Halo.

CS:GO

It is fair to say that CS: GO is a dominant force within video games. There are several major competitions. Astralis, Natus Vincere, G2 eSports, and Team Vitality stand out as strong contenders.

COD: Warzone

In recent years this battle royale title has become extremely popular with both console and PC players. Teams that play in this mode usually have a history of doing well in other COD tournaments. They include Atlanta FaZe, OpTic Gaming, CompLexity, Fariko Impact, and Evil Geniuses.

Dota 2

This is ideal for gamblers who want to watch players compete for high prize pools. This is in the millions of dollars during the annual World Cup. The four highest-ranking organizations are TNC Predator Virtus.Pro, Evil Geniuses, and Team Secret.

FIFA

Not all high-profile tournaments are focused on shooting and fantasy. The football video game FIFA has grown into one of the biggest franchises in the industry. Bettors should look out for Fnatic, Tundra Esports, MKers, Manchester City Esports, and Schalke 04 Esports during a match.

The best esport players in the world

In terms of total earnings, the top four players in the world all play Dota 2 professionally. They are males aged between 22 and 29. All four made the majority of their money from the International 2019.

Johan "N0tail" Sundstein

This Danish player is currently ranked number 1 globally. He has competed in 129 matches and attained around $7,183,837. Before transitioning to Dota 2, Sundstein was a Heroes of Newerth player. During the International 2019 match, he won $3,124,036.20 in prize money.

Jesse "JerAx" Vainikka

Hailing from Finland, Vainikka has so far competed in 66 matches. While this is not as impressive as Sundstein, it should be noted that Vainikka has earned $6,475,948. This makes him the world's second-best esports player. He reached the number 2 spot at the 2016 Shanghai Major.

Anathan "ana" Pham

This Australian came to the attention of esports bookmakers at an early age. Before Pham turned 18 years old, he had already made $604,739 from 15 tournaments. His current total is in excess of $6,004,411.

Sébastien "Ceb" Debs

The fourth-best player is from France, with $5,773,909 made from 65 tournaments. Debs came first at the International 2018 before winning the following year again. Throughout his career, he has played for nine major teams.

How to choose the best esport team to bet on?

This will largely depend on the nature of the game being played. Some of them require participants to have fast reflexes and accuracy. Others are more tactical in nature. The best esports teams to bet on will know what qualities are needed in order to win a match.

One of the most critical aspects of this type of wagering is research. The gambler should leave very little up to chance. Most tournaments have dozens of teams vying for first place.

In order to narrow down the most likely victors, the punter has to know the track record of each one. Luckily before the final championship, there is usually a season-long qualifying period. This gives viewers the chance to analyze the various strengths and weaknesses of each contender.

Famous esport teams make a name for themselves by attaining a large number of high-profile wins. If their rivals seem evenly matched, then it is trickier to predict who will gain the top prize. If gamblers are unsure, they could research the game mode and map. They may then watch past matches where each of the two teams has competed in similar scenarios. This will give them a better idea of how well the players will perform.
