The post Bilibili Gaming claim LPL Summer 2024 title appeared first on Esport Bet.
]]>With this victory, BLG has solidified their dominance in the Chinese League of Legends scene, winning all domestic competitions this year and earning the first seed for the upcoming World Championship.
Congratulations to @BilibiliGaming on winning the 2024 #LPL Summer Playoffs championship!
The glory has been earned, and a new era of dominance begins! This year, they've claimed both the Spring and Summer season titles, taking home their second Silver Dragon Cup. They will head… pic.twitter.com/KU1dgdtvs9

BLG entered the finals as the clear favourite, and despite WBG’s strong start in Game 1, BLG’s experience and skill quickly turned the tide.
WBG, led by Lee “Tarzan” Seung-yong on Zyra, initially controlled the early game, but BLG managed to secure a gold lead despite being behind in kills.
The game’s pivotal moment came when WBG attempted to take Baron, only for BLG’s Yangwei “Wei” Yan to steal it and secure a series of kills, leading to a swift victory.
Game 2 was a display of BLG’s dominance, with Zhuo “Knight” Ding and Wei controlling the map and overwhelming WBG, ending the game with a staggering 29-6 kill score.
Knight’s exceptional performance on Zeri in the midlane, finishing with a 10/1/13 KDA, highlighted BLG’s superiority.
WBG showed resilience in Game 3, securing an early gold lead and even taking Baron.
However, BLG’s Jiaohao “Elk” Zhao capitalised on a crucial team fight, earning a pentakill that shifted the momentum back in BLG’s favour.
A final decisive team fight in the midlane allowed BLG to close out the game and the series.
This victory not only marks BLG’s second LPL title of the year but also Knight’s fourth consecutive LPL championship, having previously won both LPL splits in 2023 with JD Gaming.
Knight’s consistent dominance in the midlane earned him the Finals MVP award, further establishing his reputation as one of the best players in the world.

BLG’s success in 2024, including a strong performance at the Mid-Season Invitational (where they finished second to Gen.G), sets them up as one of the top contenders for the World Championship.
BLG will look to continue their winning ways on the international stage and seek revenge against Gen.G.
Weibo Gaming, despite their loss, had a commendable run through the summer spit, finishing third in the regular season and making it to the grand final.
They now turn their attention to the LPL Regional Finals, where they will face LNG Esports for a chance to qualify for Worlds 2024.

League of Legends Pro League (LPL)
Weibo Gaming (WBG) and Bilibili Gaming (BLG) will face off in the grand final of the LPL Summer Playoffs. BLG can cement their claim as the best team from China, and WBG can qualify for LoL Worlds with an upset victory.
BLG swept WBG 3-0 when these two met in the upper bracket semi-final, and they are expected to repeat that performance in the final, with esports betting sites marking them as a $1.12 favourite.
The LPL Regional Finals will take place the following week, with JD Gaming, LNG Esports and Ninjas in Pyjamas awaiting the fourth team to join them in the last chance stage.

League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK)
Following their wins in the quarter-finals, Dplus KIA and T1 have joined Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports in the double-elimination playoff bracket.
With only one defeat to their name throughout the LCK Summer split, Gen.G are considered heavy favourites to take out the summer title.
If Gen.G takes out the title, T1, Hanwha Life Esports, Dplus KIA, KT Rolster and FearX will clash in the LCK Regional Finals for the last three World Championship spots in the Korean league.

Team Liquid have dominated the LCS Summer split, finishing the regular season with a 7-0 record before winning their way into the upper bracket final in the first week of the playoffs.
Cloud9, 100 Thieves and Dignitas will seek to claim the final Worlds spot by finishing in the top three, due to Liquid and FlyQuest already qualifying for the season-ending event.

]]>TOP ESPORTS vs WEIBO GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS
Top Esports and Weibo Gaming are set to lock horns on Saturday, August 24, in the lower-bracket finals of League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Playoffs. The winner will proceed to face Bilibili Gaming in the grand finals, and according to LoL betting sites, Top Esports are in a better position to advance to the big stage.
Weibo Gaming edged past LNG Esports on Thursday in a highly competitive series which could have easily ended in a 3-2 victory for the favourites. However, WBG shifted into a higher gear on the fifth map and won with over 13k gold lead.
It was a strong showing from the underdogs, who previously performed well against Bilibili Gaming. If they can keep at it, Li “Xiaohu” Yuan-Hao and co. might stand a chance against what seems to be a vastly superior LPL team.
Top Esports had an explosive start to their game against Bilibili Gaming on Wednesday, picking up a commanding victory on the first map. Unfortunately, Bilibili returned the favour on the next two and ground out the fourth to close out the series 3-1.
It wasn’t the most convincing display from Top Esports, who looked poised to make the day hard for Bilibili Gaming. But a few early mistakes cost them two crucial maps and, eventually, the game.
Top Esports are the favourites here, as they have shown much higher highs this split, but they’ve hardly produced more in their recent outings than Weibo Gaming. As shown in their series against BLG, Top Esports can be vulnerable if stopped early, and Weibo are unquestionably a squad capable of throwing a spanner in the works.
At the current prices, the outsiders are an excellent longshot bet. However, the safe play is to back Weibo Gaming at the map line.

]]>TOP ESPORTS vs ANYONE’S LEGEND LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS
The League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs will serve us with a clash between the aggressive Top Esports and resilient yet unreliable Anyone’s Legend, who will face off in a best-of-five series on Friday, August 16.
The two Chinese teams last faced off in the fourth week of the regular season, when Top Esports won in two maps. According to LoL betting sites, the rematch should play out similarly.
Anyone’s Legend enter this clash off a convincing 3-1 victory against FunPlus Phoenix on Tuesday. That was only their fourth victory of the split, however, and none of them have come against the top squads.
Still, Anyone’s Legend are very good at keeping their games close, with a 99.1 gold difference per minute. Unfortunately, they tend to struggle in the early game, with a -601 gold difference at 15 minutes, and that will be a huge problem on Friday.
Top Esports have been smoking everyone for most of the LPL 2024 Summer split, only struggling in games where their opponents have managed to slow down Yu “JackeyLove” Wen-Bo very early. This will be a tough ask for Anyone’s Legend, who are in for a stylistic nightmare against the most explosive early-game team in the league (+1121 GD@15).
The last meeting between Anyone’s Legend and Top Esports wasn’t too bloody, ending 4-12 and 15-9 in kills. The upcoming series likely won’t see many kills either, but unless TES shoot themselves in the foot, it should be just as one-sided.

| Best Odds: | TT $1.75 at GG Bet | OMG $2.03 at GG Bet |

Oh My God reverse-swept Ultra Prime on Wednesday to keep their winning streak alive. But according to the LPL betting odds, their run should end on Friday.
ThunderTalk Gaming lost against EDward Gaming at the start of the week in a bizarre series where the team that played offside performed better. It was a bit off-script, but nothing unusual for Group Nirvana.
Results-wise Oh My God are the better team, but ThunderTalk have the side choice and are more stable of the two. They also tend to play more scaling, which should work well against Oh My God, who aren’t particularly effective in the early game.

Top Esports would have lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas on Tuesday if the latter team was not so poor at macro play. Anyone’s Legend have not played a single game since last Thursday, when they were crushed by Weibo Gaming.
Anyone’s Legend are 3-2 in LPL 2024 Summer. That is not terrible, especially considering AL have some impressive performance metrics and are extremely good at closing games when they are in the lead.
Top Esports are one of the scariest teams in the LPL, but esports betting sites should not be pricing them as short as $1.35. Anyone’s Legend’s win condition is to prevent Top Esports from getting too far ahead early, which is entirely possible considering their past showings.

Ninjas in Pyjamas could have taken the first map off Top Esports on Tuesday, but they found a way to throw the lead away with questionable decision-making. The second map was much more one-sided and played out exactly how the series was expected to go.
Seeing Ninjas in Pyjamas struggle against Top Esports does not sound concerning. But they have looked just as bad against any other team in the league, so they will unlikely do any better against the LPL’s strongest squad.
Despite getting absolutely smoked by Weibo Gaming on map one last round, Bilibili Gaming returned the favour on the final two maps, proving they are still a force to be reckoned with. Unless BLG slow down significantly, this will be a bloodbath.

Before the start of the LPL 2024 Summer regular season, Rare Atom and Team WE looked like two prime candidates to top Group Nirvana. Three weeks into the split, we know there is no clear favourite to win this section.
Team WE enter the fourth week on a three-game losing streak, with defeats against ThunderTalk Gaming, Oh My God, and Ultra Prime. Most of their issues stem from a passive playstyle and an unwillingness to actively search for opportunities to get ahead, and that could be a problem on Thursday.
Rare Atom did not produce the most convincing performance in their last series either, yet they are 4-1 and will have side choice. For those reasons, Rare Atom are a much wiser pick at plus money with top betting sites.

Royal Never Give Up suffered their fourth defeat of the split on Monday when they lost against Rare Atom. It was a concerning display from RNG, who had their moments but made way too many mistakes to be left unpunished.
Invictus Gaming won their second game of the split on Friday when they swept EDward Gaming. While they still have some work to do, it was a much better performance than against Oh My God at the start of last week.
Even though the rule for Group Nirvana is to back the underdogs if the betting odds go far above even money, Royal Never Give Up have looked bad enough to make Invictus Gaming a better bet at this price.

Weibo Gaming took a bite out of Bilibili Gaming on Tuesday, proving they can dance with the LPL top dogs. LGD Gaming, on the other side, lost their fifth consecutive game of the split on Saturday against Top Esports.
The teams are trending in opposite directions, but there is an unwritten rule never to trust Weibo Gaming as heavy favourites. Moreover, LGD Gaming are not as bad as their record suggests, as it takes a solid team to fight back from early deficits so consistently.
Weibo Gaming should win, but since both teams are volatile, it is fair to believe LGD Gaming can take at least one map.

There is no significant difference between the eight teams in Group Nirvana. Although some have accumulated more wins than others, no squad has stood out as the best.
Oh My God are 4-0 and Ultra Prime are 2-3, but those records do not tell the whole story. Both teams have had victories gifted to them, the most obvious examples being their respective wins against Team WE last weekend.
While Oh My God are in good form, Ultra Prime are a bit underrated at the offered League of Legends betting odds. As OMG have side selection, backing the underdogs to win the second map looks like a solid play.

LNG Esports ran over Ninjas in Pyjamas, Weibo Gaming, Top Esports, and Bilibili Gaming in the first three weeks, but it all came to a stop when lost against FunPlus Phoenix on Sunday. It was a rough day at the office for LNG, who made too many mistakes.
JD Gaming are 4-2 in LPL 2024 Summer and in a good spot to finish Group Ascend in the top two, but they’re a bit rough around the edges. However, this is still an elite team and one of the world’s most consistent and stable macro squads.
LNG Esports looked much cleaner than JD Gaming earlier in this split; one loss does not take away from that. With side choice and enough talent to compete with the best the LPL has to offer, LNG are an easy choice at $2.01 with top betting sites.

Bilibili Gaming bounced back from their loss against LNG Esports with a 2-1 victory over JD Gaming on Saturday. JDG were the better team on the first map; however, the final two were one-way traffic for the defending LPL champions.
Despite that up-and-down showing, Bilibili Gaming still deserve to be respected, but the question is whether they should be priced as $1.19 favourites with top betting sites against Weibo Gaming. Even though Weibo are anything but consistent, their raw quality is up there with the best LoL esports squads in the world.
Weibo Gaming looked great against JD Gaming a few weeks ago, they were competitive against LNG Esports, demolished NiP, and then got stomped by Top Esports, only to pick up a convincing victory against Anyone’s Legend on Thursday. It is a bit of a mixed bag of results, but Weibo seem to be trending up, which is a good enough reason to believe in them for this affair.

Top Esports were a bit lucky in their most recent game against LGD Gaming, who should have won the second map before they bungled it. Before that, Top Esports stomped Weibo Gaming but lost the previous two against Bilibili Gaming and LNG Esports.
Although a group of talented players who know how to team fight, Ninjas in Pyjamas have yet to taste victory in the LPL 2024 Summer. Their macro is atrocious, and more importantly, NiP’s gold difference at 15 minutes sits at -673 — the fifth-worst in the league.
Top Esports are known for stomping teams who are unable to hold their own early, so there is only one way this series can end.

Invictus Gaming and EDward Gaming are tied at 1-3 after four rounds of action, having played teams of similar quality. But even though there is not much to set the teams apart, it’s hard to have much faith in Invictus Gaming after their horrendous display against Oh My God.
EDward Gaming aren’t great — although most teams in Group Nirvana are bad, with poor macro and a lack of individual talent. This also explains all the upsets we have seen in this bracket, which makes backing favourites less appealing.
This game is an exception, mainly because of Invictus Gaming’s horrendous performances over the last couple of weeks. True believers might also consider backing EDG to sweep at $2.59 with the best esports betting sites.

Although LGD Gaming are 0-3, they have played Anyone’s Legend, JD Gaming, and Bilibili Gaming — all of the best LPL teams except for Top Esports. This explains why LGD have the league’s worst gold difference at 15 minutes (-2882).
FunPlus Phoenix have not looked as good as they should have over the last few weeks. Their only victory came against Ninjas in Pyjamas, but even that was not too exciting.
LGD Gaming are a capable team, but they have not shown a lot of quality yet. The same applies to FunPlus Phoenix. We can give LGD a slight bump with side choice, but that is not enough to believe they will manage a clean game.

The last time these sides met in a best-of-three series, Ninjas in Pyjamas closed as $3.13 underdogs. This time they are paying $4.33 with GG Bet, and it is not hard to see why.
Ninjas in Pyjamas are an incredibly frustrating team. Their macro and decision-making are atrocious; they are just a group of extremely good players who know how to fight as a unit. This is usually enough to stomp on weaker teams, but they are exposed when matched with any semi-capable squad.
JD Gaming have had a couple of hiccups this split, but they are still an elite team with solid fundamentals, which is more than enough to expose Ninjas in Pyjamas for what they are.

According to the top esports betting sites, Ultra Prime should defeat Royal Never Give Up in 65.8% of scenarios. That’s a generous number, especially considering this is a match between two weak LoL esports teams.
Ultra Prime have side choice, which helps, but they’ve not shown much more than Royal Never Give Up over the last three weeks. UP are averaging 1911 gold per minute (GPM) and 71 gold difference per minute (GDM), compared to RNG’s 1797 GPM and -226 GDM, but the latter had to play EDward Gaming, Oh My God, and Team WE, all three offside.
Ultra Prime should be favoured with side choice, but they have not done enough to deserve this number. The value is with Royal Never Give Up to win at outsider odds.

LNG Esports are the only team besides Bilibili Gaming in Group Ascend with a perfect record, having beaten Ninjas in Pyjamas, Weibo Gaming, and Top Esports over the last two weeks. The question here is: how long can they keep playing like this?
Bilibili Gaming remain the LPL’s top dogs. However, the eye test and stats show that there is not much to set them apart from LNG Esports besides their more explosive early game.
Even though Bilibili Gaming should win this match more times than not, LNG Esports are running hot and have enough quality to push the defending LPL champions to their limits.
