Bet on Arena of Valor International Championship 2025

Arena of Valor, previously Strike of Kings, is an online video game developed by TiMi Studio Group. It is available on iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch devices. It is among the most popular games in Asia as it features in almost all major eSports events in the region.

Arena of Valor (AoV) drops you straight into a 5v5 battle arena where you pick a hero—each with its own unique skills and ultimates. The more you play a hero, the stronger they get: you farm gold and XP by slaying minions, jungle monsters or even enemy heroes. With gold you grab items that buff your hero’s damage, defence or utility, and XP unlocks new ability levels. Whether you’re jungling or laning, every kill and tower push edges you closer to victory.

AoV shakes things up with multiple modes:

• Grand Battle (5v5): Your main gig—destroy turrets, take Dark Slayer, and flatten the enemy core in 12–18 minutes.
• Black City Arena (1v1): A single-lane duel with one tower each, HP potions and stealth brushes. Pure mano-a-mano hype!
• Shadow Duel (3v3): Fast-and-furious Flatland skirmishes in just 4–6 minutes, with one turret and two cores.
• Plus others like Abyssal Clash, Hook Wars, Football Fever, Death Match, Mayhem Mode and Duo Race.

Whichever mode you pick, the rush of clutch plays and team fights never gets old—mambo poa!

Match Winner & Event Winner

Just like staking on a football match, the match winner bet has you pick which team will win a specific game. Favours have lower odds, underdogs pay more. For the event winner, you predict who takes the trophy home.

Handicap Bets

A handicap bet means the favourite starts with a virtual goal disadvantage, making the contest evens out. Want more value? Check the handicap bet meaning on your eSports betting app to see if underdogs can pull off an upset.

Over/Under Bets

The over/under bet example lets you wager on whether total kills or objectives exceed a set number. It’s perfect if you don’t fancy a straight win-loss market but want to play the stats game.
