Overwatch League
O2 Blast vs. Seoul Inferno
- When: Saturday, July 22, 2023
O2 Blast, the likely underdog, heads into this after 3 straight losses. But before 2 straight losses to Dallas Fuel and a loss to Guangzhou Charge, O2 had won 2 straight over Shanghai Dragons and Panthera.
Seoul Inferno is on a 2-match winning streak. Before the wins, Inferno had lost to Houston and Florida. Ah, but Seoul beat Dallas 4-0 on June 4. The Inferno outclasses O2.
eSports Betting Pick: Seoul Inferno
Guangzhou Charge vs. Panthera
- When: Saturday, July 22, 2023
Panthera has won a single match in their last 5. Panthera beat Sin Prisa Gaming 3-0 on May 27. Since the victory, Panthera has lost 3 straight versus O2, Seoul Dynasty, and Dreamers.
Guangzhou Charge has won 2-of-5 versus Poker Face and O2. 2 of the 3 losses came against Hangzhou Spark. Guangzhou gets the win.
eSports Betting Pick: Guangzhou Charge
Boston Uprising vs. Florida Mayhem
- When: Saturday, July 22, 2023
Boston has won 3-of-4. New England Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft’s squad is on a 2-match winning streak with victories over Houston and Vegas.
Florida Mayhem is also on a 2-match winning streak with victories over Houston and Vancouver. The Mayhem appears to have turned around their form. Backing Florida makes sense.
eSports Betting Pick: Florida Mayhem
Dallas Fuel vs. Dreamers
- When: Sunday, July 23, 2023
The Fuel are on a 2-match winning streak with wins against Poker Face and O2. So Dallas could win this, but they are up against a seriously talented squad in Dreamers.
Dreamers has won 4-of-5 Dreamers’ lone loss in the last 5 came versus Hangzhou Spark. Other than falling to Hangzhou, Dreamers has rolled through their competition. The Dreamers get another victory.
eSports Betting Pick: Dreamers
London Spitfire vs. Los Angeles Valiant
- When: Sunday, July 23, 2023
Spitfire has a single win in their last 5. It came in a 3-1 match versus Toronto Defiant. Not only that, but the win happened on May 27.
L.A. Valiant also has 1 win in their last 5. Valiant beat inter-city rival L.A. Gladiators on July 14. Valiant followed up the win with a 3-0 loss to Defiant. Losing to Toronto is not good. So although London isn’t a great Overwatch team, the Spitfire could get the win in this.
eSports Betting Pick: London Spitfire
Atlanta Reign vs. Toronto Defiant
- When: Sunday, July 23, 2023
Toronto is playing lights out. Defiant has won 3-of-5, including taking their last 2 against Vancouver and L.A. Valiant.
But Atlanta is on a 5-match winning streak. Not only has the ATL Reign won 5 straight, but they’ve done it by losing just 3 games. Atlanta scores the win.
eSports Betting Pick: Atlanta Reign
