DATA.BET, the award-winning provider of sports betting solutions, has set a new milestone in the industry with the launch of its betting markets for 2XKO, Riot Games’ new and dynamic competitive format.
2XKO represents a fresh addition to the global esports landscape. With its fast-paced, double-elimination structure, it delivers short yet high-intensity matches—creating new opportunities for betting engagement and audience retention as the format evolves.
At this initial stage, DATA.BET’s coverage focuses on key pre-match markets, including Winner and To Reach the Final for overall tournament outcomes, as well as Winner within individual matches. During the final stages of the competition, the company plans to expand its offering with Map Winner markets for each round.
What makes 2XKO unique is its combination of short-form, high-intensity gameplay—a structure that maximizes player engagement and mirrors the global appeal of competitive fighting games, seamlessly adapting to a betting environment.
DATA.BET debuted its 2XKO betting coverage at the 2 NICE KO tournament held in Nice, France (October 10–12, 2025), which brought together nearly 300 players competing across leading fighting titles.
“Esports thrive on creativity and innovation, and 2XKO perfectly showcases how new formats can create excitement for both players and bettors. At DATA.BET, we are proud to be the first to bring this to market, offering our partners exclusive access to content that captures the speed, intensity, and global appeal of fighting games. This launch reinforces our commitment to expanding esports betting with fresh, high-impact experiences,” said Bogdan Holovnov, Head of Esports at DATA.BET.
