Updated: 2024Sadly, a lot of sports events have been cancelled due to the health warnings everywhere in the world. However, we do have some big tournaments that are due to start in the next 30 days, and we’ve got the best of the bunch listed below along with some top betting predictions:
March 20-22 | DOTA Pro Circuit – ESL One Los Angeles 2020
The Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles will be holding the third major of the DOTA Pro Circuit 2019/20 season with 16 teams battling it out for the top spot and the $1,000,000 prize pool. There will be 15 teams from regional qualifiers and also the champions, Team Aster, from the StarLadder ImbaTV Minor S3 tournament.
Many of the top teams are involved with strong line-ups coming from Europe such as OG, Team Secret and Ninjas in Pyjamas. Invictus Gaming and Natus Vincere from the China and CIS Qualifiers are both in with a chance, but it’s the European teams that dominate the bookies for the outright winner.
Betting Tip: OG at 9/4 odds or Team Secret at 9/4 odds available at William Hill
March 16-April 12 | Counter-Strike – ESL Pro League Season 11
The Counter-Strike ESL Pro League returns with 24 teams playing over the course of four weeks. The finals are due to play out in Denver over three days from April 10-12 with a total prize pool of $750,000 to be won, but the run-up promises a lot of high-class CS action.
The four-week schedule means the bigger teams should prevail over the long run. This seems to be the thinking of the bookies as well and that’s why we’re seeing the likes of Astralis and Natus Vincere topping the outright winner markets at Betway.
Betting Tip: Astralis at 47/20 odds or Natus Vincere at 13/4 odds available at Betway
March 28-29 | Call of Duty League – Dallas Week 8
It’s the turn of Dallas Empire to host week 8 of the Call of Duty League and they’ll be looking for a hometown boost to notch up back to back wins.
The hosts accomplished a huge win in Los Angeles in week 7 and another here in Dallas would see them move right up with current leaders and outright favourites Atlanta FaZe.
Atlanta FaZe are not competing at Dallas so it’s a huge opportunity for the home team to add points on the board.
Chicago Huntsmen will also be looking at the top spot and this brings an extra competitive dimension to the matches come the end of the month.
Bet365 are backing Dallas Empire to come out on top at odds 7/4 , slightly edging the current second-placed team Chicago Huntsmen who can be backed at 2/1 to win week 8.
March 31-April 12 | PUBG Global Series: Berlin – DELAYED
The first PUBG Global Series major of the year would have been the highlight here, but the latest news is that the tournament will be delayed until further notice due to the health warnings outbreak. So, keep your eyes peeled for new dates later on in the year.
