Why Esports Is Growing in Importance in Malaysia
Malaysia's esports industry grows every year, with a rising number of fans and local professional teams.
More than half of Malaysian esports players play and watch from their phones, making a mobile-optimised platform a necessity.
Malaysian teams regularly compete at the Southeast Asian and international level in MLBB, Dota 2, and other titles.
Esports betting now offers markets just as broad as traditional sports — from match winners to individual player statistics.
Five Key Topics in the World of Esports
Esports is more than just one type of game. It spans a wide range of genres and competition formats, each with its own fan ecosystem and professional teams. Here are the key sub-topics you should know before placing your bets at 957.
Mobile Legends Bang Bang (MLBB) and Dota 2 are the two most popular MOBA titles among Malaysian players. Matches are played in bo1, bo3, or bo5 formats. Malaysian teams regularly compete at the MLBB World Championship and The International Dota 2, creating exciting betting opportunities with competitive odds on 957.
Counter-Strike 2 (CS2) is the king of the FPS genre in the global esports betting market. CS2 Majors and Asian regional leagues draw large audiences. Betting markets cover match winners, round handicaps, total rounds, and individual player performance. Valorant leagues are also gaining traction among younger Malaysian players.
EA Sports FC (formerly FIFA) and NBA 2K feature official esports leagues where professional players compete in sports simulations. Malaysian players already familiar with football or basketball will find this betting format easier to follow, as the game rules closely mirror those of the real sport.
Hearthstone and Legends of Runeterra represent the digital card game genre, which is steadily carving out its place in the esports betting market. Tournaments are typically run in bo3 or bo5 formats with group stages and elimination rounds, making every match critical and keeping both spectators and bettors on edge.
Major tournaments like the SEA Games Esports, the MLBB World Championship and the Esports Olympics attract massive viewership and betting volumes. Malaysia regularly fields national teams in these competitions. During peak tournament seasons, 957 provides broader odds coverage with more market options to meet the needs of local fans.
Two Key Concepts Before You Start Betting
- Match Winner Market (Moneyline)
-
This is the most basic form of esports betting. You simply pick which team will win a given match. Odds are set based on performance records, current form, and team analysis. The favoured team carries lower odds, while the underdog offers higher odds.
Example: A Malaysian team faces an Indonesian team in an MLBB match. The odds for Malaysia to win are 1.65, while Indonesia's are 2.20. A RM 50 bet on Malaysia returns RM 82.50 if they win.
- Handicap Market (Overtime Advantage)
-
Handicap in esports typically refers to a map or round advantage given to the weaker team to balance the market. In a bo3 MLBB match, a -1.5 map handicap means the favoured team must win 2-0 for your bet to succeed. A 2-1 win means a -1.5 handicap bet loses.
Example: Team A at -1.5 map handicap means you need Team A to win by at least 2 maps with no losses for your bet to win.

Common Esports Terms
Understanding the key terminology helps you read odds and make sharper betting decisions. Here are the six terms you'll encounter most often in esports betting markets on 957.
Best of 3 or Best of 5 — a match format where teams must win a majority of maps to take the series. Bo3 requires 2 wins; Bo5 requires 3.
A map advantage or deficit assigned to a team in the betting market to level the playing field. A -1.5 team must win 2-0; a +1.5 team can lose 0-2 and still win in the betting market.
Odds that update in real time during a live match, reflecting how the game is unfolding. Players can place bets while the match is in progress, with odds that mirror the current situation.
Bet on which team will win the entire tournament, not just a single match. Odds tend to be higher due to the greater uncertainty over a longer time frame.
Combine multiple esports bets into a single ticket. All selections must be correct to win. The potential return is higher, but so is the risk — one wrong pick voids the entire ticket.
A team's standing in the tournament group chart based on prior performance. The top seed (Seed 1) is typically the strongest team and is expected to advance further, which influences the odds set for each matchup.
