Tried betting on esports for the first time

Tried esports betting for the first time last night, mostly because I kept seeing people say the lines were softer than regular sports. I thought I could read it the same way, just with different teams, but it didn’t seem that simple.

Once the match started, I was looking at a map prop and then checked another market. By the time I went back to the first one, the line had moved and I wasn’t sure if I should still take it. I also didn’t know how much to trust pre-match form compared with what was happening live (maybe that part just takes time).

The stats for the maps looked useful, but I couldn’t tell which ones mattered for the prop I was looking at. Commentary wasn’t helping me decide either, and I was pretty much a step behind the whole time. It was more chaotic than I expected!

Has anyone had this happen when starting out, and do you focus on a particular stat before taking a live map prop? I’m seeing a lot of info, but not sure what’s actually useful.

the commentary thing is real, they call the fight five seconds after the line already moved

Who told you the lines were softer? That's the bit I'd be questioning.
