Understand What Esports Is Before You Bet
Esports refers to professional-level video game competitions involving teams or individual players competing in organised league or cup formats. It's far from casual gaming — matches follow official schedules, are overseen by certified referees, and are broadcast live to a global audience.
The gravit8 platform lets you bet on both local and international esports matches. Markets are available before matches begin and stay open during live play, giving you the flexibility to bet in whichever style suits you.
Esports Titles & Markets to Explore
Gravit8 supports betting on several of the top Esports titles most closely followed by the Malaysian community. Here's a full breakdown of each title and the types of markets typically available.
| Game Title | League / Tier | Key Market Types | Suitable for |
|---|---|---|---|
| MLBB | MPL MY/SG, MSC, M-Series | Match Winner, Map Winner, Handicap | Local fans, beginners |
| DOTA 2 | The International, DPC League | Series Winner, Total Maps, First Blood | Experienced bettors |
| CS:GO / CS2 | Major, ESL Pro League | Map Winner, Round Score, Over/Under Kills | FPS fans |
| Valorant | VCT Pacific, domestic | Match Winner, First Map, Handicap | New to eSports, younger player |
| League of Legends | Worlds, LCS, LCK | Series Winner, First Objective, Total Kills | Veteran MOBA player |
MLBB is the most popular esports title in Malaysia and Southeast Asia. The MPL MY/SG runs two seasons a year with weekly matches you can follow straight from your phone. The match winner market is the best entry point for beginners.
DOTA 2 has the most mature competitive ecosystem in global Esports. The International is the biggest annual tournament, with a prize pool that typically exceeds USD 30 million. Malaysian players Mushi and Ohaiyo have both represented world-class teams in this tournament.
Both of these first-person shooter titles have earned a massive following among young Malaysian players. CS2 (the successor to CS:GO) is now the new competitive standard, while Valorant continues to grow through the VCT Pacific series, which features teams from across the Asia-Pacific region, including Malaysia.

Log In NowFive Esports Sub-Topics You Should Understand
The world of Esports betting goes well beyond simply picking a winner. Here are five key aspects that set Esports betting apart from conventional sports betting.
Pre-Match vs Live Markets
Pre-match markets open days or hours before a game begins, giving you time to analyse recent form, team composition, and stats before committing. Live markets, on the other hand, open once the match is underway — odds shift in real time as the action unfolds. Both are available on gravit8, and which suits you best depends on how closely you follow the match as it happens.
Malaysian Teams on the Global Stage
Malaysia has active representation across multiple international esports leagues. In MLBB, local teams like RSG MY and ECHO MY compete consistently in MPL MY. In DOTA 2, veteran Malaysian players remain active in the Asian regional leagues. Keeping up with local team performance gives you an analytical edge when picking markets that involve them.
Handicap in Esports
Handicap is used to level the playing field between teams of differing strength. For example, if Team A is considered a heavy favourite, a -1.5 map handicap means they need to win 2 or more maps for your bet to pay out. Conversely, backing the underdog at +1.5 means you win even if that team only takes one map. This market tends to offer better value in lopsided matchups.
Why Keeping Up with Match Schedules Matters
Esports schedules work differently from traditional sports — matches often fall on weekdays and at unusual hours due to teams spanning multiple time zones. Staying on top of the schedule lets you plan your bets in advance and take advantage of better pre-match odds before they adjust closer to kick-off.
Meta Shifts and Patch Updates
Unlike physical sports, digital games are updated regularly through what are known as "patches" — balance changes that can significantly affect hero strength, weapons, or team strategies. When a new patch drops shortly before a major tournament, teams that adapt faster tend to gain the edge. Bettors who stay on top of the latest patch changes can often spot market value that no longer reflects current reality.
Key Esports Betting Terms
Understanding the terminology used in Esports markets helps you read betting slips more accurately and avoid costly mistakes. Here's a list of the most commonly encountered terms.
- Match Winner
- The most straightforward market — pick the team you think will win the overall match, typically in a Bo3 or Bo5 format. This is the best starting point for beginners.
- Map Handicap
- Betting based on map count with a handicap advantage or deficit assigned to a specific team. Example: Team A -1.5 means they must win 2-0 or 3-0 for your bet to succeed.
- Over/Under Kills
- A market that predicts whether the total kills in a map or match will go over or under a set value. This market requires knowledge of both teams' playstyles.
- Live Markets (In-Play / Live Betting)
- Bets placed while a match is in progress. Odds shift in real time based on the current score, objectives secured, or team momentum. Requires active monitoring throughout the match.
- Odds
- A multiplier that determines how much you'll receive if your bet wins. Higher odds generally reflect a lower probability — meaning the team or outcome is considered less likely based on market estimates.
- Bet Slip
- A digital record of your selected bet — including the market, stake amount, current odds, and estimated payout. Always review your bet slip before confirming to make sure everything looks right.
