Five Main Esport Titles Typically Available
The Esports section on platforms like ed98 covers a wide range of competitive titles popular among Malaysian viewers and players. Here is an in-depth look at each major title and what makes it compelling to follow as a betting spectator.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB)
MLBB is the most popular mobile MOBA game in Southeast Asia, including Malaysia. Professional matches feature two teams of five competing to destroy the opposing base. Matches are fast-paced — typically lasting 15 to 25 minutes — making them well-suited for online betting since results come in quickly. Common markets include match winner, first map winner, and total map handicap.
DOTA 2
DOTA 2 is a PC MOBA known for international tournaments with prize pools reaching millions of MYR. Professional matches run longer — up to 60 minutes or more for extended games — and involve more complex strategy. Bettors who enjoy in-depth analysis and a wider range of markets tend to gravitate towards DOTA 2. Common markets include match winner, first blood, total kills, and map handicap.
Valorant
Valorant is a tactical shooter from Riot Games that has rapidly grown into a major competitive esport since its launch. Matches see two teams taking turns to attack and defend a site. Betting markets typically cover match winner, total rounds and which team leads at the half. The Southeast Asian competitive scene for Valorant is maturing steadily and drawing strong interest from local fans.
League of Legends (LoL)
League of Legends is a PC MOBA that has dominated the global esports scene for over a decade. While less prominent in Malaysia compared to MLBB, LoL still has a dedicated following among PC gamers. Top-tier league matches from Korea, China, and Europe are typically available for betting, drawing in players who enjoy following high-profile international competitions.
Counter-Strike 2 (CS2)
CS2 (the successor to CS:GO) is one of the most heavily bet-on PC esports titles in the world. Matches pit two teams against each other in attack/defence scenarios. The international match calendar is packed, meaning betting opportunities are available nearly every day across various leagues and tournaments. Common markets include match winner, round handicap and total rounds.

How to Read Esports Betting Markets
E-sports betting markets follow a similar format to traditional sports, but with a few specific terms worth understanding. This section helps you read the odds and choose markets that match your level of knowledge.
Sample Return Calculation — MLBB Winner Bet
Say there's an MLBB match between Team A and Team B. Team A is offered at odds 1.75 while Team B is at odds of 2.10.
If you place a bet RM80 on Team A and Team A wins:
Gross return = RM80 × 1.75 = RM140
Net profit = RM140 − RM80 = RM60
This is a neutral example to help you understand the basic calculation. Actual outcomes depend entirely on the match and markets available at the time.
Esports Market Types
| Market Types | Brief Description |
|---|---|
| Match Winner | Which team wins the overall match |
| First Map Winner | Which team wins the first game/map |
| Map Handicap | The favoured team is given a negative handicap (-1.5 maps) |
| Total Maps (Over/Under) | Whether the total number of maps goes over or under a set figure |
