This page covers everything you need to know about E-Sports on p1harmony — from bettable tournament titles and how to read the markets, to the difference between E-Sports and Virtual Sports. All of it accessible right from your phone.
From MPL to The International – The Hottest Titles Right Now
Malaysia is one of the most active E-Sports markets in Southeast Asia. Local fans closely follow Malaysian teams across major leagues, and p1harmony provides betting markets for these tournaments so you can get in on the action in a whole new way.
Mobile Legends: Bang Bang (MLBB) & MPL Malaysia
MPL (Mobile Legends Professional League) Malaysia is one of the country's most popular esports leagues, with Malaysian teams competing at both national and regional level. At p1harmony, you can follow MPL Malaysia matches under the E-Sports section, with markets including match winner, map handicap, and total kills.
PUBG Mobile – Southeast Asia Competitive Scene
PUBG Mobile has a thriving competitive scene in Southeast Asia through the PMSL (PUBG Mobile Super League). Malaysian fans who follow their favourite teams can now place bets on match outcomes directly through p1harmony.
Dota 2 – The International & DPC
Dota 2 boasts the largest prize pools in esports history. The International remains the most-watched event of the year, while the Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) runs regional leagues throughout the season. Markets for Dota 2 typically cover match winner, map handicap, and occasionally in-play markets.
CS2 (Counter-Strike 2) – Major Championship
CS2 Majors are the pinnacle of competitive Counter-Strike. With transparent match formats and straightforward statistics, CS2 is a great entry point for newcomers to E-Sports betting. Markets typically cover match winner, round handicap, and first map result.

E-Sports vs Virtual Sports – Which Should You Choose?
Both categories are available at p1harmony, but they offer a very different feel. Here's a quick comparison to help you decide.
| Aspect | E-Sports | Virtual Sports |
|---|---|---|
| Player | Real players (pro teams) | Fully computer-simulated |
| Match Schedule | By tournament schedule | Runs 24/7 without interruption |
| Results | Determined by player skill | Determined by RNG system |
| Knowledge Required | Goes deeper (meta, teams, players) | Basic statistics knowledge is sufficient |
| Live Stream | Yes — available to watch on streaming platforms | Simulation animation only |
If you're an active fan of a game and follow team developments closely, E-Sports offers a richer experience. If you want quick, on-demand betting at any time, Virtual Sports is the more flexible option.
Two Key Concepts in E-Sports Betting
- Map Markets
-
In E-Sports tournaments like CS2 or Dota 2, a match typically consists of multiple maps or individual games. The "Map Winner" market lets you bet on who wins a specific map rather than the overall match, giving you more betting opportunities within a single series.
Example: In a CS2 BO3, you can bet on the Map 1 winner independently of the overall match winner.
- E-Sports Handicap
-
Handicaps in E-Sports work the same way as in traditional sports — the stronger team is given a negative advantage to balance the market. In map-based formats, handicaps are usually expressed as a map count or a points/round difference.
Example: If Team A is given a -1.5 map handicap, they need to win 2-0 or better for a bet on them to pay out.
Esports Terms You Should Know
- Meta
- The most effective strategy or character/weapon choice at any given point in a game. The meta shifts with game updates and directly impacts team performance.
- BO3 / BO5
- Best-of-3 or Best-of-5 — a match format where teams must win a set number of maps to take the series. In a BO3, the first team to win 2 maps wins.
- Roster
- The active player lineup of an E-Sports team. Roster changes can significantly affect a team's performance.
- Live Betting
- Bets placed while a match is in progress. Odds shift in real time as the match unfolds.
- Outright
- Bet on the overall tournament winner rather than a single match. Odds are typically higher due to the greater level of uncertainty.
