Updated Friday 23 October 2026  ·  Refreshed every morning  ·  Our record: 59% (114 of 193 settled tips since June 2026)

eGaming HQ publishes free esports betting tips every morning for CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, Valorant and Rainbow Six, with a public record: 114 of 193 settled tips have won since June 2026. Every tip comes from the same method: each side’s last five results, the head-to-head, and the format. The pick and the confidence rating are data-driven, the reasoning under each pick is written from that data and nothing else, and every tip is logged and settled publicly whether it wins or loses. We don’t show prices because they move; check the book before you back anything. One page for the week: the pick, the data behind it, where to bet and where to watch, for CS2, League of Legends, Valorant, Dota 2 and Rainbow Six.

How last week’s tips went

8 winners from 12. Every settled tip, back to June, is on the record page.

How to read the cards
The five dots under each team are their last five matches, oldest on the left, most recent on the right. Green means they won that match, red means they lost. Four or five green dots means a team in form.
Our pick is the team we think wins the match. High confidence means both their recent form and their record against this opponent point the same way. Medium means one of those does. Too close to call means we’re not backing either side.
Tap Why this tip under any pick to see the results behind it. Watch live opens the official stream; Back it opens the bookmaker with the best markets for that game.

1win
VS

OG
Our pickOG to winMedium confidence · tipped 17 Oct

OG have won 5 of their last five, against 2 of five for 1win. The catch is the head-to-head, which 1win lead 1-0. Medium confidence because only one of the two signals is clear, so treat it as a lean, not a lock.

▸ Why this tip: the data behind it
  • 1win: won 2 of last 5, Bo3+ record 1-3
  • OG: won 5 of last 5, Bo3+ record 5-0
  • Head-to-head: 1win 1-0 in the last 25 matches

Today’s esports predictions: OG (Dota 2, medium), Team Liquid (Dota 2, medium), BetBoom Team (Dota 2, medium), Gen.G (LoL, medium), LOS (LoL, medium). Esports predictions today are settled tonight and appear on the record page tomorrow morning.

CS2 predictions today and this week

Our CS2 predictions cover the tier one and tier two calendar: the Majors, IEM and BLAST events, the Thunderpick and FISSURE circuits, and the qualifiers that feed them. Counter-Strike is the game where form tells you most, because rosters are stable and map pools are public, so a team on four wins from five is a team you can trust more than in any other esport. Each CS2 match below shows both sides’ last five results, the head-to-head where there is one, and our pick with a confidence rating. CS2 betting tips are updated every morning, so what you see here is today’s slate, not last week’s. There are 2 CS2 matches on the feed right now. If you are new to Counter-Strike markets, the CS2 betting guide explains map handicaps, pistol rounds and how a Bo3 changes the odds.

Dota 2 predictions and betting tips

Dota 2 predictions are the ones we are asked for most from the Philippines and South East Asia, and it is the game where the featured tip goes whenever a tier one match is on. Our Dota 2 betting tips follow the DPC-style circuit through the season and every stage of The International, from the group stage to the grand final. Dota form is streaky, and patches can flip a team’s fortunes inside a fortnight, so our method leans harder on the head-to-head here than in the shooters and we will call a match too close to call rather than force a TI prediction. There are 8 Dota 2 matches on the feed right now. Read the Dota 2 betting guide for how the draft phase and map count affect a bet.

GamerLegion
Our pickTeam Liquid to winMedium confidence

Recent form favours Team Liquid: 3 wins from five, while GamerLegion have 1. GamerLegion have had the better of these meetings, 1-0, so this is a form call. One signal, not two, which is why this stays at medium.

BetBoom Team have won 2 of their last five, against 0 of five for Astra Invicta. No recent meeting between the two, so this rests on form alone. Medium confidence because only one of the two signals is clear, so treat it as a lean, not a lock.

LoL predictions and betting tips

League of Legends predictions live and die on the regional leagues: the LCK, LPL, LEC and LTA through the splits, then MSI in the summer and Worlds in the autumn. Our LoL betting tips only cover those top leagues and the international events, because that is where the form data is deep enough to trust. Best-of-three and best-of-five series reward the stronger side more than a single game does, so a high-confidence LoL prediction is usually on a series, not a map. Every card shows the last five results for both teams and the head-to-head for the split. There are 8 LoL matches on the feed right now. Our League of Legends betting guide covers the markets worth looking at beyond the match winner.

Gen.G come in with 5 wins in five. Invictus Gaming have managed 2. There's no head-to-head to lean on here. Worth a small stake at best until the second signal lines up.

Valorant betting tips and predictions

Valorant betting tips are built around the VCT calendar: the four international leagues (Americas, EMEA, Pacific and China), the two Masters events, and Valorant Champions at the end of the season. Valorant predictions are harder than CS2 because agent metas shift with patches and rosters change between stages, so the confidence rating matters more here. We only back a side at high confidence when both their recent form and their record against that opponent agree. Each card shows both, plus the pick. There are 4 Valorant matches on the feed right now. The Valorant betting guide explains map veto and why the total maps market is often better value than the winner.

R6 esports predictions (Rainbow Six Siege)

Rainbow Six Siege predictions cover the Siege esports circuit: the regional leagues, the two Majors each year, and the Six Invitational in February. R6 is a defender-sided game with a small map pool, so the head-to-head and the map veto matter more than raw form, and upsets in Bo1 group stages are common. We treat Siege like CS2 in the rules: a pick at high or medium confidence in the top-tier events, and only at high confidence in the qualifiers. There are 3 R6 matches on the feed right now. The Rainbow Six betting guide covers the operators that price Siege and the markets worth using.

Recent form favours FaZe Clan: 5 wins from five, while LOS have 3. The head-to-head backs it up: FaZe Clan 3, LOS 0. What would break it: a lost first map and a veto that hands LOS their best map.

▸ Why this tip: the data behind it
  • LOS: won 3 of last 5, Bo3+ record 2-1

How we pick, and how we settle

One method for every tip. We score each side’s last five results and their record in this format, check the head-to-head, and only publish a pick when the gap is clear. High confidence means the form and the head-to-head point the same way; those calls have won 12 of 20 since June. Medium means one of the two is clear. When neither is, the match still appears, marked “too close to call”, with no pick. Qualifiers and second-tier leagues only get a pick at high confidence, and never more than two a day. Every tip goes into the public record the day it’s published and is settled from the official result, never edited after the fact.

Where to watch this week’s matches

Every card above has a Watch button that goes to the official stream for that event. If a match is already under way, the link drops you into it live.

Questions people ask about esports predictions

How accurate are esports predictions?
Ours are right 59% of the time across 193 settled tips since June 2026, and 12 of 20 at high confidence. Anyone claiming 80% or more on a small sample is picking which results to show. The full record is public.

Which esport is easiest to predict?
CS2. Rosters are stable, map pools are public, and a Bo3 gives the better team room to recover, so recent form carries more weight than in Dota 2 or Valorant, where patches change the game between events.

What does a high-confidence tip mean?
Both signals agree: the team has the better recent form and the better head-to-head record against this opponent. Medium means only one of the two is clear. If neither is, we show the match as too close to call and make no pick.

Are esports predictions updated today?
Yes. This page is rebuilt every morning from the latest results, so the picks you see are for today and the coming week. Settled tips move to the record page the next morning.

Are the tips free?
Yes, all of them, with no sign-up. We earn a commission if you open a bookmaker account through a link on this page; that never changes which team we pick.

How are esports betting odds calculated?
The bookmaker sets a price from its own model of each team’s chance, then shades it in its favour (the margin). A price of 1.50 implies roughly a 67%% chance. Our tips are about spotting where the real chance looks higher than the price says.

Which apps are best for esports betting?
It depends where you are. Our esports betting sites page compares the operators we hold funded accounts with, by licence, market depth and payout speed.

These predictions were last updated . Match times are shown in your own time zone where your browser allows it, otherwise in UTC. The next refresh is on the morning of Saturday 24 October. If this date is more than a day old, the automatic update has not run; every tip above still stands and is settled on the record page.

Our tips are an opinion based on form and recent results, not a guarantee. No bet is a sure thing, so only stake what you can afford to lose. Prices move, so check the book before you back it. 18+. If gambling stops being fun, GambleAware can help. We earn a commission if you open an account through our links; it never changes which team we pick.
