League of Legends – LCS Summer 2023
Cloud9 vs. NRG
- When: Saturday, August 12, 2023
Right now, all the money is going on Cloud9 to not only win, but to trounce NRG. Cloud9 is such a massive favorite that even at -1.5, the chalk is at -204.
With that being written, it’s difficult to go against the favorite. Cloud9 is on a 4-match winning streak with victories against TSM, FlyQuest, Golden Guardians, and Evil Geniuses. The chalk covers.
eSports Betting Pick: Cloud9 -1.5 -204
League of Legends – CBLOL Split 2 2023
paiN Gaming vs INTZ
- When: Saturday, August 12, 2023
Odds haven’t landed on paiN versus INTZ because each squad’s form suggests they win the match. INTZ has won 3-of-4. The lone loss came versus Loud.
eSports Betting Pick: INTZ
Red Canids vs. Loud
- When: Sunday, August 13, 2023
Red Canids had been on a roll with wins versus Liberty, Kabum, and Los Grandes but in their last, Canids fell to Keyd Stars.
Loud is on fire. The favorite in this is on a 6-match winning streak. The streak explains the underlay odds on Loud. Eventually, Loud will lose a match and, overall, Red Canids has gone 7-3 straight up in their last 10. Taking a shot on the dog makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Red Canids +201
League of Legends – LJL Summer 2023
Sengoku Gaming vs. Fennel
- When: Saturday, August 12, 2023
The favorite in this is on a 2-match winning streak. Sengoku followed up a victory over V3 Esports on July 29 with a win against Crest Gaming Act on August 4.
Fennel has won 2-of-3. Both of Fennel’s wins, though, came against Axiz. So the chalk prevails.
eSports Betting Pick: Sengoku Gaming -200
League of Legends – VCS Summer 2023
Cerberus vs. Team Secret
- When: Sunday, August 13, 2023
Team Secret is the chalk, but Cerberus is on fire. The +114 underdog has won 4 straight.
One of the victories Cerberus secured was against Team Secret. The match happened on July 29 and started the current winning streak. Cerberus also has victories against MGN Box, GAM, and Team Whales.
This can go either way. So it makes sense to land on the team offering the better payout, which is Cerberus.
eSports Betting Pick: Cerberus +114
League of Legends – LDL 2023
MAX E-Sports Club vs MiaoJing
- When: Sunday, August 13, 2023
Max versus Miao projects as one of Sunday’s most competitive eSports matches. So far, the money is going to MAX.
So when oddsmakers set a line, we should expect MAX to be the favorite. Players are betting MAX because they’ve won five straight versus EDward, Ultra Prime, Oh My Dream, Invictus, and MiaoJing.
MiaoJing bounced back from the loss to MAX with a win against Invictus. The loss to MAX happened in a 3-2 match. This can go either way, but based on our odds prediction, MiaoJing is the play.
eSports Betting Pick: MiaoJing
