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.

BILIBILI GAMING vs TOP ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Bilibili Gaming and Top Esports will clash on Wednesday, August 21, when the two Chinese juggernauts battle it out for the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs finals ticket.

With a lot on the line, both teams have plenty of reasons to step up. According to LoL betting sites, however, the series will not be as competitive as it may seem.

Bilibili Gaming enter the LPL 2024 Summer Playoffs semifinals off an awe-inspiring victory against Weibo Gaming, who they bested 3-0 on Saturday. It was one of the best showings from BLG this split, indicating that the defending champions might be peaking at the right time.

Top Esports had a slow start to the playoffs against Anyone’s Legend, but they were more convincing against LNG Esports in the fourth round. TES still failed to look as dominant as usual, however, mainly because LNG are good at minimising losses early.

Like Top Esports, Bilibili Gaming are one of the best early-game teams in the LPL. This could lead to an interesting affair between two stylistically similar teams.

But while a strong early game is simply one of Bilibili Gaming’s tools, it is Top Esports’ primary win condition. And knowing Zhuo “knight” Ding and his crew are in a good spot to contain their rivals, they should have a straightforward path to victory.

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.

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.

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.

T1 and Top Esports won their way through to the grand final by defeating Team Liquid and G2 Esports in their respective semi-finals on Saturday.

After defeating pre-tournament favourites Gen.G 2-0 in the quarter-finals and dominating G2 Esports in a swift 2-0 win, TES entered Sunday’s grand final undefeated through four maps.

On the other hand, T1 was pushed to all three maps against Bilibili Gaming in the quarter-finals before playing out a close series with Team Liquid, with the LCK powerhouse winning both clashes 2-1.

Heading into the final series of the EWC LoL tournament, esports betting sites marked T1 as a slight favourite; however, early on in the match, T1 supporters would have been worried as TES took an early lead.

TES started with some aggressive plays, which helped Lin “Creme” Jian get ahead in his crucial matchup with Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok in the mid-lane.

TES quickly converted the early advantage into a 1-0 series lead, claiming all three dragons and the only baron on the map before knocking over T1’s nexus in just under 23 minutes.

The reigning LoL World Champions knew they had to respond on map two, and respond they did.

Led by some huge plays by Faker and Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon early on, T1 returned serve with a dominant map win of their own to tie the series 1-1 in 26 minutes.

The third map was the closest encounter of the grand final, but it would be T1 that continually won team fight after team fight and controlled the map.

TES mounted a small comeback and even slained the final baron of map four; however, T1 broke the base of TES and moved onto series point after 39 minutes of play.

The last map of the series was once again dominated by Oner and Faker as they continued to control the mid-lane and jungle, ultimately leading T1 to a convincing 3-1 victory in the grand final of the EWC LoL tournament.

Following the completion of the match, Faker was awarded the Most Valuable Player after consistently performing at a very high level throughout T1’s three series.

Gen.G are outright favourites in League of Legends Esports World Cup 2024 title betting, priced at $2.25. This puts them well ahead of Bilibili Gaming at $3.50, and for good reason.

Gen.G are the most successful team of the season. They won LoL Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 Spring, secured their maiden Mid-Season Invitational title in May, and won all six of their LCK 2024 Summer series.

Nevertheless, the gap between the elite teams is exaggerated, and we shouldn’t be getting $3.09 on a Top Esports outfit that pushed Gen.G to five maps in May. The value is with the underdogs.

At the offered LoL esports betting odds, FlyQuest are given only a 16.7% implied probability of winning the series. While that’s a very low number, it shouldn’t surprise anyone.

While they both come from major leagues, the quality gap between G2 Esports and FlyQuest is significant. G2 are by far the best non-Asian LoL esports team, while FlyQuest are hardly the second-best squad from the LoL Championship Series (LCS).

Even at MSI 2024, it was evident that FlyQuest were not at the level to compete against elite teams, and they’ve not shown any improvement since. Anything less than a 2-0 sweep for the European champions would be a massive disappointment.

At the offered LoL esports betting odds on this match, it’s fair to wonder whether backing the underdogs is the wiser option. Yet there are reasons to believe Top Esports are simply that much better.

Top Esports are 5-0 in LPL play since their early exit from Mid-Season Invitational 2024, with four of those series ending in clean sweeps. Rare Atom have managed a respectable 3-2 record, but they showed some cracks against Oh My God and LNG Esports in the first and second weeks.

Rare Atom look like one of the best non-contender teams in the LPL and have shown enough to suggest they can do well against other mid-table teams. Beating elite teams such as Top Esports won’t come as easy, but from a betting perspective, siding with the underdogs on the kill handicap makes sense.

Top Esports will start with a side choice, which makes the idea of an upset less likely. However, on their map pick, Rare Atom should be able to keep the score within 10 kills.

Oh My God have not won a single game across the first three weeks of LoL Pro League 2024 Summer Placements. They have not looked good in any of the five series played, and while there’s room for improvement, they need to show something before we can put any trust in them.

LNG Esports are not a very trustworthy team either. They rarely try to make something happen on the map, instead opting to pray on their opponents’ mistakes. While this can be effective against lesser opposition, it means LNG often struggle against the better teams in the league.

Regardless of their lack of consistency and questionable strategy, LNG Esports are an inviting bet to sweep at $1.66 with esports betting sites.

In the first game, G2’s bot lane duo, Steven “Hans Sama” Liv and Mihael “Mikyx” Mehle, displayed exceptional synergy, effectively shutting down TES’s bot lane and creating opportunities for Rasmus “Caps” Winther to shine.

With two well-fed ADCs, G2 secured the first victory in just 28 minutes, setting a dominant tone for the series.

As the matches progressed, G2’s superiority became increasingly evident.

Mikyx and Martin “Yike” Sundelin’s coordination neutralized Wenbo “JackeyLove” Yu’s Draven, while Hans Sama’s stellar performance led G2 to another victory, putting them up 2-0.

Despite TES’s efforts to counter G2 in the third match, Sergen “BrokenBlade” ?elik’s strong performance in the top lane ensured a clean sweep for G2, solidifying their status as the superior team in the series.

G2’s triumph over TES not only reaffirms their position as a title contender but also reignites the debate on the prowess of Eastern versus Western teams in international competitions.

Historically, Eastern teams have often dominated global tournaments with meticulous strategies and superior mechanical skills.

However, G2’s victory underscores the growing strength and resilience of Western teams in the global League of Legends scene.

By delivering one of the most dominant performances against one of China’s top teams, G2 proved that Western teams are more than capable of challenging their Eastern rivals.

As the competition progresses, fans can expect even more intense matchups and rivalries.

Overall, G2’s creative picks and coordinated plays reminded fans of their 2019 MSI triumph.

With three more best-of-five series to win in the lower bracket, G2’s next opponent will be the victor of the Team Liquid vs. T1 series.

This potential rematch against the current LoL World Champions promises to be a must-watch for League fans worldwide.

G2 Esports’ journey at MSI 2024 continues to give European fans hope for another international success.

MSI 2024 will continue on Wednesday as T1 clashes with Team Liquid, with the best-of-five series scheduled to start at 5pm CST.

TOP ESPORTS vs G2 ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Top Esports and G2 Esports will face off on Tuesday, May 14, in the second round of the losers’ bracket at Mid-Season Invitational 2024. Both squads dropped down to the lower bracket following close five-map defeats against Korean LoL esports teams, yet while their results look similar, Top Esports are priced as firm favourites for this match.

Top enter this fixture off a painful 2-3 defeat against Gen.G. While the result was fair, it also proved that the tournament’s top teams are much closer than the League of Legends betting markets are suggesting.

The question here is whether G2 Esports belong in that category. They performed well against T1 last Friday, and while they came up short on the day, they were close enough to indicate their head-to-head price of $5.62 was completely off.

T1 didn’t look good in their next series against Bilibili Gaming on Sunday, which also affects how people will see G2 Esports — as a team that nearly defeated a struggling side. But the eye test proves G2 are no slouches and more than capable of holding their own against elite opposition.

Top Esports have side choice for this match — a notable advantage, considering the blue side has a 54.5% win rate this tournament. But we saw G2 Esports defeat T1 on the red side, and across all series between top contenders, the side selection hasn’t seemed to affect performances too much.

Even though Top Esports are a very stacked team, they’re also somewhat inconsistent. So even though they performed well against Gen.G, having them priced as $1.40 favourites seems a bit optimistic. The outsiders are good enough to keep this series close, if not win it.
