Commercial CS:GO tournaments: the next big thing!

With the unstoppable rise of esports in full swing and showing no sign of slowing down any time soon, a rapidly growing number of sports and betting fans are increasingly tuning in to virtual contests for their fix of competitive entertainment. Among the endless esports options on the market, one game stands out from the rest as the unquestionable king of the professional gaming world – Counter Strike: Global Offensive.

CS:GO, as the game is widely known, has firmly established itself as one of the biggest multiplayer shooter games in the world, with an estimated 24 million active players regularly blowing each other to bits in the game’s intense firefights as of February 2020, and commercial tournaments are the pièce de resistance.

Commercial tournaments are intense esports battlegrounds where teams of talented players duke it out and leave it all on the map to determine who is the top dog as well. These competitions are a hit with betting and gaming fans as they consist of short rounds, lasting just under 2 minutes, and each and every one is jam-packed with high-voltage, explosive action (quite literally, as the game features two teams working to plant or defuse a bomb!), where the tide of a match can do a complete 180 at the drop of a hat.

EsportsBattle’s electrifying commercial tournaments are available on major streaming sites like Twitch and YouTube, and gaming fans are flocking to these events in their droves to see who will come out on top in these thrilling showdowns, and try to fill their pockets at the same time! And with events, matches, and tournaments on tap around the clock, esports aficionados don’t have a chance to get bored as the platform keeps their entertainment cups - and wallets - overflowing.

The popular platform has recently been enjoying a staggering boost in its viewer numbers for these tournaments: in October of this year, for example, CS:GO matches were watched 786,410 times – an impressive figure in its own right; however, this figure pales in comparison with November’s numbers, which blew October out of the water as they skyrocketed to an astronomic 1,312,940.

Impressive enough, but considering the fact that throughout the entire month of December 2020, the platform’s CS:GO tournaments logged 103,576 views.

What’s more, fans aren’t only interested in sitting back and watching the action; the number of users actively betting on these events rose by almost 15% between October and November, and between February and November this figure jumped by a staggering 83%.

With over 15,000 events available every month and content streamed 24/7, EsportsBattle is always on hand to make sure the esports football, basketball, ice hockey, and CS:GO action never stops. There’s a whole world of explosions, shootouts and havoc to immerse yourself in and, as the holidays rapidly approach, now is the perfect time to dive headfirst into the relentless action and take your seat at the table as CS:GO continues its meteoric rise.
