ESB brings you free League of Legends betting picks for the first round of the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 play-in stage on Wednesday, May 1. Here are our selections for FlyQuest vs PSG Talon and T1 vs Estral Esports.


FLYQUEST vs PSG TALON LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: FLY $1.92 at GG Bet | PSG $1.84 at GG Bet
When: May 1, 2024 | 16:00 CST
Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

The League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) has rarely produced competitive teams on the international stage. So even though FlyQuest only really struggled against Team Liquid in the LCS, their domestic success doesn’t mean much on the international stage.

FlyQuest field a few experienced players, namely Gabri?l “Bwipo” Rau and Nicolaj “Jensen” Jensen, but the same applies to PSG Talon. The Pacific Championship Series (PCS) winners not only field seasoned players; they also have some of the top individual talent from the region, including mid laner Huang “Maple” Yi-Tang, ADC Lu “Betty” Yu-Hung, and jungler Yu “JunJia” Chun-Chia.

It can’t be overstated how stacked PSG Talon are, and while they’re rightly priced as favourites, even at $1.84, they’re very cheap. They field better players who are far more experienced on the international stage, and they’ve performed better throughout the split in a tougher league.

T1 vs ESTRAL ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: T1 $1.01 at GG Bet | Estral $15.00 at GG Bet
When: May 1, 2024 | 19:00 CST
Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

This could be the biggest mismatch of the tournament as LoL World Championship title holders T1 take on Liga Latinoamérica (LLA) champions Estral Esports. The underdogs are given a 6.4% implied probability of upsetting the Korean giants, so it’s easy to see how the game should end.

The kill line for this match is set at 14.5, which is an absurdly high number — especially considering how T1 like to play. With a 15.9 average kills per game in LCK 2024 Spring and the league’s shortest average game duration (30:38), T1 are not a bloody team — nor the type to play with their food.

This makes backing Estral Esports to keep T1 within 14 kills an inviting choice, but taking under 25.5 total kills makes more sense. Unless you believe Estral can show any meaningful resistance, this should be a quick match with few kills.
