How news moves the odds
In esports, a single piece of news can change a match: a player leaving the team, a stand-in for a sick player, a visa problem before an event, or a game update that changes the strongest heroes, agents or maps. Bookmakers adjust their prices quickly, so the earlier you know, the better.
- Roster changes and stand-ins usually weaken a team for a few weeks.
- Patches in Dota 2, League of Legends and Valorant favour teams that adapt fast.
- Map pool changes in CS2 can turn a strong side into an average one.
