Riot Games‘ latest foray into the competitive esports arena 2XKO will now be covered by DATA.BET’s new betting line.
According to DATA.BET, the fast-paced style of the 2XKO format introduces a pattern of brief but impactful bouts that closely resembles the intensity of the best fighting games. The goal of the company is to utilise this structure to attract bettors seeking regular wagering opportunities and optimise player excitement.
Along with match-specific Winner options, DATA.BET’s coverage at launch focuses on important pre-match markets like the overall Winner and To Reach the Final for tournament results.
As the 2XKO betting market develops, there are plans to extend offerings to individual Map Winner selections.
On October 10th–12th, 2025, in Nice, France, over 250 players competed for top fighting titles at the 2 NICE KO tournament, which took place concurrently with the game’s launch.
Impact on Esports Betting and Market Engagement
The fighting game genre’s mainstay, short-form, high-stakes gameplay, is what makes the FGC an enticing opportunity for sportsbooks.
The fast-paced, intense gameplay works well in betting settings where regular matches and results keep players interested.
With its release of betting coverage for 2XKO, DATA.BET is already looking to establish itself in this new market.
In order to satisfy the growing demand for esports events, DATA.BET plans to offer operators and partners new content by emphasising a variety of pre-match and in-tournament outcomes.
The speed and intensity of the 2XKO format are likely to increase its appeal and have an effect on betting and viewership in international markets as esports continues to grow on a global scale.
