League of Legends – WRL Asia 2023 Season 2
Nova Esports vs. WHG Esports
- When: Saturday, January 6, 2024
Both Nova and WHG are playing great. WHG is on a 2-mtch winning streak after victories against FunPlus and Trace.
Nova has won 4 straight and 4-of-5. Nova ranks fifth while WHG ranks ninth. Because Nova is likely to offer underlay odds, siding with WHG is the play.
eSports Betting Pick: WHG Esports
FunPlus Phoenix vs. Team Weibo
- When: Sunday, January 7, 2024
FunPlus has won 3-of-5. FPP posted wins against JD Gaming and Fennel Adversity early in December before losing 2 straight. In their last, FunPlus got by Team Flash.
Team Weibo has won 4-of-5. The only squad to best Weibo in their last 5 was KeepBest Gaming on December 14. Here’s another where backing the chalk makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Team Weibo
Dota 2 – Xmas Cup 2023
Big Brain vs. Me Parb
- When: Saturday, January 6, 2024
Chinese based team Big Brain hasn’t scored a victory in their last 5. Big brain lost to Execration and Eagle earlier in December before drawing in 2 straight versus Made in Philippines and Team Trust. In their last, MANTA dusted Big brain 2-0.
Me Parb, a Thailand based Dota 2 squad, has won 2-of-5 with a couple of losses and a draw. Based on recent form Me Parb is the team to back, but Big brain ranks in the top 200 while Me Parb has yet to crack the top 600.
eSports Betting Pick: Big Brain
Team Freedom vs. ZOL Esports
- When: Saturday, January 6, 2024
In their lone recorded match, ZOL got by Made in Philippines 2-0. Because it’s the only game to go on, we must consider siding with Team Freedom.
There are other reasons to believe Freedom gets it done. Not only is Team Freedom ranked higher than ZOL, but they’ve won a match and drawn twice with 2 losses in their last 5. The likely projected favorite gets the nod.
eSports Betting Pick: Big Brain
MANTA Esports vs. ZOL Esports
- When: Sunday, January 7, 2024
In their lone recorded match, ZOL got by Made in Philippines 2-0. Because it’s the only game to go on, we must consider siding with Team Freedom.
There are other reasons to believe Freedom gets it done. Not only is Team Freedom ranked higher than ZOL, but they’ve won a match and drawn twice, with 2 losses in their last 5. The likely projected favorite gets the nod.
eSports Betting Pick: MANTA Esports
Polaris Esports vs. Big Brain
- When: Sunday, January 7, 2024
Polaris had been on a 3-match losing streak, but in their last 2, they played better, drawing twice. The losses came against Yangon, Me Parb, and MANTA.
Big brain lost to Manta in their last recorded match. Polaris ranks slightly ahead of Big brain. The higher ranked team should score the win.
eSports Betting Pick: Polaris Esports
