The Intel Extreme Masters 2018 in Katowice have begun and as usual for the IEM series of tournaments, they will provide us with high quality excitement and action. Fans can follow their favourite teams in one of four games: Starcraft 2, CS:GO, PUBG and Dota 2, which of course the big betting sites for eSports can't miss, so they have already published their bets and odds on time for the start of the tournament. At this point it is still quite difficult to say which team has the advantage in the end. Will FaZe hold their first CS:GO IEM Masters title in their hands, or will the NiP thwart them again? And will Against All Authority triumph once again in PUBG? These and many other questions will be answered during the course of the tournament. If you want to increase your excitement beforehand, you can bet on your favourite teams in different bets. Let's take a closer look at the odds and betting markets for the Intel Extreme Masters and ESL One in Katowice 2018.

During IEM Katowice 2018 bets and odds are available for:

CS:GO betting: IEM Katowice 2018 (World Championship)

The CS:GO Esport scene has grown massively in the last few years, so it's no surprise that there are several high-prized tournaments every year. The operators of betting sites have also noticed this and so they are offering more and more CS:GO bets. While there are currently few bets available for the CS:GO tournament in Katowice at the IEM 2018, this is likely to change as the finals approaches. It is also worth keeping an eye open for any live bets. From the already known odds for the overall winners bet for the IEM Katowice 2018 in CS: GO some exciting things can already be read. On the one hand FaZe seems to be in very good shape and only SK Gaming can really keep up. On the other hand, the winner of the previous tournament Ninjas in Pyjamas appears to be in the midfield of the group.
