League of Legends – LEC Season Finals 2023
Fnatic vs. BDS Esport
- When: Saturday, September 2, 2023
The favorite in this is playing great. Fnatic has won 4-of-5. In their last, Fnatic beat Excel 3-2. BDS Esport has won just 2-of-5. So if BDS has won 2-of-5, why isn’t their larger odds gap? One of the reasons could be that BDS beat SK Gaming 3-0 in their last. Also, in the match before, BDS won a game against G2. The underdog can bite.
eSports Betting Pick: BDS Esport +117
MAD Lions vs. G2 Esports
- When: Sunday, September 3, 2023
The underdog in this had lost 4 straight, but in their last, MAD Lions beat Excel Esports 3-0. The victory could be a sign that MAD is ready to go on a streak.
But although MAD should play well in this, they face one of the better League of Legends squads on the planet. G2 has won 5 straight. We’d love to go against the favorite but can’t.
eSports Betting Pick: G2 Esports -556
Overwatch League 2023 Summer Stage
Guangzhou Charge +117 vs Seoul Dynasty -169
- When: Saturday, September 2, 2023
Neither squad is in great form, which is why Guangzhou is just a +117 underdog. The Charge is on a 5-match losing streak. So for sure, Guangzhou should be the underdog. Also, Seoul Dynasty has a single victory in their last 5.
Like BDS versus Fnatic, the odds imply Guangzhou should have a chance in this. But Seoul Dynasty beat Guangzhou 3-1 in the last head-to-head. Back the favorite to cash.
eSports Betting Pick: Seoul Dynasty -169
Shanghai Dragons vs. Sin Prisa Gaming
- When: Saturday, September 2, 2023
Sin Prisa has won 2-of-5 and Shanghai Dragons have won 2-of-4. Neither team appears to have much of an edge over the other.
Sin Prisa offers the slightly better payout. Also, Sin has played just 4 matches since May 20 and heads into this after beating Shanghai Dragons 3-1 in their last. Backing the -101 choice makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Sin Prisa Gaming -101
Dallas Fuel vs. Hangzhou Spark
- When: Sunday, September 3, 2023
Dallas is on fire. The Fuel have won 4-of-5. But before we can back Dallas without reservations, we had better take a look at who beat the Fuel in their last loss.
<>If you guess Hangzhou Spark, you're right. The +190 underdog in this took it to Dallas in a 3-2 game on August 5. Since the win, the Spark has beaten Dreamers twice.For sure, Dallas can turn the tables, but laying -294 on the team that lost the last head-to-head is asking a lot. The odds on Hangzhou make the Spark an overlay.
eSports Betting Pick: Hangzhou Spark +190
Toronto Defiant vs. Washington Justice
- When: Sunday, September 3, 2023
Washington has won 1-of-4, which makes the underdog tough to back in this game. The Justice aren’t just 1-4 in their last 4.
But Washington has lost 2 straight while the favorite in this has won 2 straight. Even if the Justice play better than they did against Atlanta Reign in their last, they will find it difficult to win. Back the Defiant to cash.
eSports Betting Pick: Toronto Defiant -244
