Esports · Arena of Valor
Arena of Valor (AoV, called RoV in Thailand) is Tencent's 5v5 mobile MOBA, with its strongest pro scenes in Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam. Bookmakers price the regional leagues and the Arena of Valor International Championship (AIC), whose 2025 final was a best of seven.
This page explains the AoV markets, how a per-game chance becomes a series price in long series, and which bookmakers are ranked for Arena of Valor on this site. Odds here are examples.
AIC 2025: Focus Taiwan (CNA). Margin from the example odds on this page.
Short answer
You bet on a series, single games or objectives such as first blood and first tower. Big AoV finals are long: a team with a 60% chance per game wins a best of seven 71.0% of the time. Coverage is narrower than for PC MOBAs, so compare bookmakers before you bet.
A team with a 60% chance per game wins a best of seven 71.0% of the time.
Full Sense beat Flash Wolves 4–1 in the AIC 2025 grand final.
The same team wins a best of seven 4–0 or 4–1 33.7% of the time; 4–0 alone is 13.0%.
AoV is a five-a-side mobile MOBA; games are shorter than in Dota 2.
Average margin on the example match winner market across four ranked bookmakers.
How it works
Most AoV matches are regional league games in Thailand, Taiwan or Vietnam; the AIC brings them together.
League games are usually shorter series; international finals run to best of seven.
Series winner, game handicap, game winner or objectives such as first blood.
Few bookmakers cover AoV, so prices vary. Take the best and set a limit first.

Series maths
If each game is independent, longer series favour the stronger team. Try your own number in the calculator.
BO5 = p³ × (10 − 15p + 6p²)
4–0 in a BO7 = p⁴
p = 0.60: BO7 = 0.710, 4–0 = 0.130
Fair odds BO7 at p = 0.60: 1.41
