Counter-Strike continues to be an extremely popular esports game, and there has been plenty of great action taking place to begin 2024. The action is only going to increase soon as one of the top events of the year will soon be taking place.
The 2024 IEM KATOWICE is set to begin, and the top Counter-Strike teams in the world are going to be competing for the big prize. Not only will there be some great matchups to watch and follow along with, but there are also some great betting options to explore as well.
Before digging into the betting odds that are set for the IEM KATOWICE, let’s explore how this tournament is going to be set up.
A Look at the Format
This is always one of the biggest Counter-Strike events of the year, and there is a $1 million prize pool available for this tournament. The winning team will walk away with $400,000 and that is why the best teams in the world are going to be squaring off in this event.
The play-in state is set to begin on January 31st and it will wrap up on February 2, but that’s just to get things started. Things really start to heat up in the Group Stage that will run from February 3rd through February 6th.
This is a best-of-three style tournament and the action will ultimately wrap up with the playoffs that are taking place in the Hall of Heroes. By playing a best-of-three that will give every team a chance to rebound after having a bad match, and it should keep the best teams involved throughout the tournament.
Serral Favored to Win
There are betting odds set for every team that is set to compete at the IEM KATOWICE, but it’s pretty clear that there is one team on top. That team would be Serral as they are the favorites to win the event at +220.
Some might not be clear on how betting on esports events work, but it’s extremely similar to making a futures pick in other sports. All that is needed to is make a bet on which team will win this event, and the odds will tell you how much the potential payout will be.
While Serral might be favored to win this event, there is another team that appears to be poised to make a run through the bracket as well. Clem is another team to keep an eye on at the IEM KATOWICE as that team has odds set at +260.
It’s unclear if either of these teams will be able to survive the early part of the bracket to get to the championship, but the odds suggest that they have the best chance at getting that done. That doesn’t mean that other teams aren’t in consideration, and there are a couple of other teams to watch as well.
- Maru +450
- Reynor +450
- Solar +600
- Dark +600
There are betting odds for the rest of the teams in this event as well, but six teams really stand out ahead of things getting started. The setup of the IEM KATOWICE will give other teams a shot to keep things interesting, but it won’t be easy for any of them to come away with a win.
If you are going to be betting on the IEM KATOWICE, it would be wise to focus on the betting favorites, at least until the action starts to unfold. There will be other opportunities to make bets while the matchups are playing out, and that is when you will see the odds shift as well.
