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!

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.

BILIBILI GAMING vs WEIBO GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL

Bilibili Gaming will defend their League of Legends Pro League (LPL) title on Friday, August 30, when they clash with Weibo Gaming in the LPL 2024 Summer Playoffs grand final. The two sides already met in the upper bracket semifinals when BLG won, and based on the latest LoL betting odds, they are expected to come out ahead again.

Zhuo “knight” Ding and co. took care of business a week ago when they clashed with Weibo and once before during the regular season, so it is hard to question their ability to win on Friday. But even though the last fixture ended in a 3-0 sweep, the final result does not tell the whole story.

It was a competitive game that could have easily ended another way, but Bilibili Gaming narrowly kept winning most of the skirmishes. Weibo weren’t bad on the day, Bilibili Gaming were just slightly better.

Since then, BLG and Weibo have both beaten Top Esports, with 3-1 and 3-2, the latter being more interesting, as all five maps were complete stomps – one way or the other. It was an extremely solid performance from the outsiders, who schooled Top Esports despite mid laner Li “Xiaohu” Yuan-Hao playing exceptionally poorly.

That win also proved that Weibo Gaming’s ceiling is very high; it’s only a matter of consistency and whether they can produce another showing like it on Friday. Not that Weibo is known for being reliable, but they have shown two excellent performances heading into the grand finals.

This is still Bilibili Gaming’s game to lose, as they are stronger, but only slightly. At $5.74 with the top LoL betting sites, Weibo Gaming are criminally underrated and an excellent bet to win a map and as a smaller position on the +1.5 maps market.

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.

WEIBO GAMING vs LNG ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Weibo Gaming and LNG Esports will face off on Thursday, August 22, in the losers’ bracket of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs.

This will be their first meeting since Week 2 of the regular season, when LNG won, and according to the odds offered by top LoL betting sites, the rematch should have the same ending.

LNG Esports enter this series off a 0-3 loss against Top Esports. Yet despite what the final score suggests, Lee “Scout” Ye-chan put up a great fight, showing just how good they are at not giving away too much early. Likewise, Weibo Gaming displayed many great things in their loss to Bilibili Gaming.

Weibo have been playing well enough against top teams, and since LNG belong in the same basket as them quality-wise, you have to question whether having them priced at $2.43 is fair. They are very explosive early, with Group Ascend’s third-highest gold difference at 15 minutes (+707), but also possess a solid macro.

That might not mean much given LNG’s controlled style of play and — as seen in their series against TES — ability to slow down strong early-game teams. On the other hand, both LPL sides showed improved performances in the previous round.

This should be a very competitive series. There is not much to set them apart in terms of quality, and while LNG Esports tend to do well against Weibo Gaming’s style, it is not like the underdogs rely only on their early game to get themselves in advantageous positions.

At plus money, Weibo Gaming are the more appealing pick.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs WEIBO GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Ninjas in Pyjamas and Weibo Gaming will clash on Thursday, August 15, in the third round of League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs. This will mark their second meeting of the split and the first since the second week of the regular season.

Song “Rookie” Eui-jin and co. enter this series following a massive victory against JD Gaming on Monday, which could indicate great things to come. While it was an incredibly disappointing series for JDG, we must give some props to NiP — especially their mid-laner Rookie, who, after a long time, looked like his old self.

Weibo Gaming have had a long time to prepare for this match, but it is unlikely they expected to play NiP. Still, they have plenty of film on Ninjas in Pyjamas, which might explain their short odds with top LoL betting sites.

While there are reasons to believe Weibo Gaming can crush Ninjas in Pyjamas — one of them being WBG’s improved performances in the latter stages of the regular season — they are not consistent enough to be priced as $1.63 favourites. Back the outsiders to cover the map line.

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.

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 lost to ThunderTalk Gaming on Wednesday in two maps. They came close to tying the series, but like all bad teams, IG didn’t play to the strengths of their composition and had a few too many unforced errors.

Rare Atom were priced at around this number to defeat Ultra Prime on Thursday, but they crumbled and lost in two maps. It wasn’t their best showing, but one bad game should not be a reason for concern.

Invictus Gaming are at roughly the same level as Ultra Prime, yet that doesn’t make them a good bet to beat Rare Atom, who are a better team and will have side choice for this series.

Team WE won their first match of the LPL 2024 Summer regular season on Monday when they defeated EDward Gaming. It was a good performance following a troubling display at LPL 2024 Summer Placements.

Royal Never Give Up lost their second match of the split against Oh My God on Tuesday. OMG were by far the worst team in LPL 2024 Summer Placements, so the loss puts a huge question mark above RNG and their overall quality.

Despite recent results, this is still a clash between two weak, inconsistent squads. Team WE might be one of the stabler teams in this group, but at $2.28 with esports betting sites, Royal Never Give Up to sneak in a map is a much wiser bet.

Weibo Gaming started LPL 2024 Summer with a massive victory against JD Gaming but then lost to LNG Esports on Wednesday. However, they held a 3,500 gold lead on the third map at around the 20-minute mark and looked well on their way to winning the series before they crumbled and let LNG back in.

Ninjas in Pyjamas are the same team we know from LPL 2024 Spring — capable of beating anyone and losing to anyone. But while NiP are the type to capitalise on Weibo Gaming’s errors, LoL betting sites have them priced very short at $1.56.

As long as they don’t shoot themselves in the foot again, this talented Weibo Gaming squad should be able to deal with Ninjas in Pyjamas.

ThunderTalk Gaming finished LPL 2024 Summer Placements with a 1-5 record, but they deserve some slack as they had to face EDward Gaming, FunPlus Phoenix, and JD Gaming. Rare Atom placed third in Group C with a 3-3 record, with a victory against the inconsistent LNG Esports and two against Oh My God.

Neither squad showed anything exceptional last month, so it’s hard to justify Rare Atom as the favourites — especially considering ThunderTalk Gaming will have side choice for this affair.

In the current meta, winning a map from offside as a non-elite team is very difficult. So even though ThunderTalk are an inviting bet at outsider odds, siding with them on their map pick at even money is a much better choice.

JD Gaming won LPL 2024 Summer Placements Group A without suffering a single loss, whereas Weibo Gaming placed third in Group D with a disappointing 3-5 record.

Numbers-wise, Weibo performed well, but they consistently collapse once the laning phase ends. For the amount of individual talent on this roster, Weibo Gaming should’ve done better — and they eventually will, but it remains to be seen when.

Weibo Gaming closed as $3.25 underdogs with the best esports betting sites in their last meeting with JD Gaming in the LPL 2024 Spring Playoffs. They’re almost double that, so even considering Weibo’s lacklustre showings the previous month, their current price is too generous.

Ultra Prime defeated Invictus Gaming in the first week of LPL 2024 Summer Placements, and they’re expected to win again. UP have managed three wins in six outings this split, whereas IG have just one.

Invictus Gaming have given us very little to feel excited about, but the same can be said about Ultra Prime. Besides beating Invictus, their only other victories came against the inconsistent Weibo Gaming.

On Sunday, Ultra Prime lost to Anyone’s Legend in one of the worst-quality series of the split. They took one map, but that means very little based on what they showed on the day.

Despite what the teams’ records suggest, Invictus Gaming and Ultra Prime are relatively equal quality-wise. And considering UP are offside for this match, Invictus are a very inviting bet at $2.39 with the best esports betting sites.

Anyone’s Legend have been up and down throughout LPL 2024 Summer Placements. They have beaten Ultra Prime (twice), Ninjas in Pyjamas (twice) and Invictus Gaming, but they’ve also had concerning showings against Weibo Gaming and Ultra Prime.

Even though Anyone’s Legend seem to be in a good position, they looked very questionable in two of their last three series, so perhaps they don’t deserve to be given a 64.5% implied probability of winning this series.

On the other hand, Weibo Gaming are unbelievably inconsistent despite having a high ceiling. Their transition from early to mid game is atrocious, and their decision-making is even worse.

Despite Weibo Gaming’s issues, there is nothing about the form of Anyone’s Legend that justifies their price. Take the generous odds for the outsiders to win.
