DATA.BET launches betting coverage for 2XKO, a new fighting game from Riot Games

DATA.BET, an award-winning sports betting solution supplier, is launching betting for 2XKO. Developed by Riot Games, 2XKO is a new dynamic competitive format, a free-to-play fighting game that features characters from the hit game League of Legends.

2XKO marks a new addition to the global esports scene. Featuring a fast-paced, double-elimination structure, it brings a distinctive rhythm of short yet high-stakes matches, a setup that potentially opens new avenues for betting engagement and audience retention as the format evolves.

At this 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 also plans to expand its offering with Map Winner markets for each map.

"What makes 2XKO unique is the combination of short-form, high-intensity gameplay," the company stated. This setup maximizes player engagement, mirroring the popularity of competitive fighting games worldwide while translating seamlessly into a betting environment.

DATA.BET debuted its 2XKO betting coverage at the 2 NICE KO tournament in Nice, France (Oct 10–12, 2025), featuring nearly 300 players across top fighting titles.

Bogdan Holovnov, Head of Esports at DATA.BET, said: “Esports thrives on creativity and innovation, and 2XKO is the perfect example of how new formats can drive excitement for players and bettors alike."

"At DATA.BET, we’re proud to be the first to bring this to market — giving 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.”
