About Counter-Strike 2 Esports
Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is Valve's flagship tactical first-person shooter and the direct successor to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO), one of the most influential esports titles ever created. Launched in 2023 on the Source 2 engine, CS2 carries forward decades of competitive heritage while introducing responsive smoke grenades, sub-tick networking, and overhauled visuals that elevate both gameplay and spectator experiences to a new standard.
In competitive CS2, two teams of five players face off across a best-of-30-round half. The Terrorist side aims to plant the C4 bomb at designated sites, while the Counter-Terrorist side works to prevent the plant or defuse it in time. Economy management is at the heart of every match — teams must balance their earnings across rounds, deciding when to buy rifles and armour and when to save for future rounds. This strategic depth, combined with pixel-perfect aim and coordinated utility usage, makes CS2 one of the most skill-intensive esports in the world.
The CS2 competitive map pool features iconic battlegrounds such as Dust2, Mirage, Inferno, Nuke, Anubis, Vertigo, and Ancient. Each map demands unique strategies, and professional teams often specialise on certain maps, creating fascinating veto dynamics in best-of-three and best-of-five series. Map picks and bans are themselves a critical layer of competition, and savvy bettors can exploit map-specific form when placing wagers at 96M.
CS2 esports is powered by a year-round circuit of elite tournaments. Valve's Major Championships remain the pinnacle, drawing millions of viewers and offering multi-million-dollar prize pools. Between Majors, tier-one events like BLAST Premier, Intel Extreme Masters (IEM), and ESL Pro League keep the competitive calendar packed. For Malaysian fans, 96M provides comprehensive coverage of every significant CS2 event, from group stages through to grand finals.
CS2 Betting Markets at 96M
96M offers a wide range of CS2 betting markets designed for both casual fans and experienced punters. From straightforward match winners to granular round-by-round specials, there is a market for every level of CS2 knowledge.
Match Winner
The most popular CS2 bet. Pick the team you believe will win the overall series, whether it's a best-of-one, best-of-three, or best-of-five format. 96M provides competitive odds updated in real time as the match progresses.
Map Winner
Bet on the winner of an individual map within a series. This market is ideal for bettors who track team performance on specific maps — back the Inferno specialist or fade a squad weak on Nuke.
Round Handicap
Level the playing field between a favourite and an underdog with round handicaps. If Team A is given a -4.5 round handicap on a map, they need to win by at least five rounds for your bet to pay out.
Total Rounds
Predict whether a map will go over or under a set number of rounds. Tight, evenly-matched maps often push past 26.5 rounds, while one-sided affairs may finish well under. Analyse team form and map history to find value.
Pistol Round Winner
Every CS2 half begins with a pistol round where teams start with limited funds. Winning the pistol often leads to a multi-round streak, making this a high-impact micro-market favoured by in-play bettors.
Knife Round
Before the competitive rounds begin, teams play a knife round to determine side choice. Bet on which team wins this opening duel — a fun, fast-paced market with quick results.
First Kill
Predict which team or player secures the first kill of a map or round. Teams with aggressive AWPers or entry fraggers often dominate this market, and statistics are readily available to inform your picks.
Tournament Outright
Place a long-term wager on which team will win an entire tournament. Outright bets are available before and during events, with odds shifting as teams advance through the bracket. Lock in early for the best value.
