ESL One Katowice 2019 event is underway and it’s brought all the intense action you could ask for. With 12 teams facing off in a little game by the name of Dota 2, some frontrunners have made themselves known quickly. But, as with any competition, there’s always a chance that a mid-range team can go on an incredible streak. And, as you can imagine, there’s going to be plenty of opportunities for betting, especially with the playoffs looming. Let’s take a look at what to watch for at ESL One Katowice going forward. And let’s try to make some money.
Teams To Watch
While we’ve only seen a few matches so far, we’ve already gotten a decent idea as to who’s in it to win it and who’s just a pretender thus far. Three teams, in particular, are off to a particularly tremendous start, with Fnatic (8-2), Team Secret (9-1), and Gambit eSports (7-3) rushing out of the gate. Outside of them? Well… Chaos eSports Club (6-4) and Ninjas in Pyjamas (6-4) show some promise. And OG, the only team to defeat Team Secret so far, could definitely be a surprise down the road. Plus, they kind of won last year’s Dota 2 Championship with a huge comeback. Seriously, read about it.
