Esports Match

The live scoreboard for a CS2 or Dota 2 match, built around where your market stands right now.

Esports Match is the live scoreboard for a CS2 or Dota 2 match, built around your market: the score, what's happening on the map, and whether your side is ahead. It follows one match, so link it to a colour group with an esports market.

The first team is always blue and the second orange, in every esports widget. In a series, tabs switch between maps; the one in play has a red dot.

On CS2, each team shows its side, the rounds it still needs (3 to go) and its buy, such as Eco. One round away, the count becomes a pulsing Map point or Match point.

On Dota 2, the big number is kills, with the heroes, the net worth gap and objectives below it. A dead hero is grey, with the seconds until it respawns.

Using it

Market tracker

The line under the header is your market's own scoreboard: a round total reads 14 / 21.5 rounds with what Over still needs, a handicap shows the margin against the line, and a series winner says whether your Yes team is ahead, behind or level. It also says which side holds right now, and whether the market is In play or Decided. Press the bell in the header to hear it the moment the market is decided.

The top of Esports Match: the market tracker and what this map decides
On a series winner, the second line tells you which map can settle it.

    What the map decides

On a live CS2 map, a second line says what this map means for you: If NAVI takes Inferno, the market settles Yes on a series winner, or that Over is already locked on a round total.

If it says a team does not play in this match, your colour is on the wrong match.

Lead chart and replays (CS2)

The lead chart shows the score gap after each round. When your market is on one of the teams, a dotted line adds its price, and rounds that moved it 5 points or more get a label.

Click a round here or in the round strip and the Esports Game Log replays it on its radar. It works for rounds your board watched live.

While a match is live, the header shows how old the data is (12s ago). Once it turns amber, the numbers may be behind the game: don't trade on them until it catches up.

With other widgets

Tips

  • Start from the Esports Live template: this widget, Feed, Players and Prematch in one tabbed window, and an Orderbook and Betslip, all linked.
  • Trading a round total? On the map it's about, the second tracker line tells you the moment Over is locked.

Extras

Alert sounds

The bell in the header plays a short tone when the market is decided and, on CS2, at map point, match point or a pause. Opening the widget mid-match doesn't ring for what already happened.

Money and next buy (CS2)

While a round is on, the Money row shows each team's money as a share of a full buy, with a tick at the eco line. Under it you see what the team can afford next round after a win (W) and after a loss (L), or one word when it's the same either way. Kill rewards and kept weapons aren't counted, so it errs low.

W and L show what each team can buy next round after a win or a loss.

Before the match and without data

Before the match, the widget shows when it starts. It only covers CS2 and Dota 2 matches with live data: for anything else it says so and offers Open another match. If loading fails, press Try again.
