Top eSports Betting Picks of the Week – May 20th, 2024

Valorant Champions Tour 2024: Masters Shanghai

Gen.G Esports vs. Leviatan Esports

  • When: Friday, May 24th, 2024

Before a 3-2 loss to Paper Rex, Gen.G had won 2 straight over DRX and T1. Overall, Gen.G is 2-3 straight up in their last 5.

Leviatan shows 3 wins in their last 5. 2 of the victories, though, were against KRU Esports. Leviatan is going to find it difficult to beat a quality Gen.G squad. Backing the chalk makes sense.

eSports Betting Pick: Gen.G Esports -143

FunPlus Phoenix vs. FUT Esports

  • When: Friday, May 24th, 2024

The odds difference between FunPlus and FUT won’t be too large. Both teams are playing well enough that this is a handicapping conundrum.

FunPlus has won 4-of-5. 2 of the wins came against Edward. So did the lone loss in the last 5. FUT has won 3-of-5. Both teams lost their last 3-1. FUT should go off the dog, which will make them the more attractive play.

eSports Betting Pick: FUT Esports

Rocket League – RLCS 2024 Major 2 England

GamerLegion vs. Erased

  • When: Friday, May 24th, 2024

Here’s another match that poses a challenge to handicap. Both teams aren’t in great form. Erased shows a 3-0 victory against Not Exposed. But in the match right after, Not Exposed turned the tables. Erased has lost 2 straight.

GamerLegion shows 2 wins in their last 5. Died for our sins dominated GamerLegion 3-0 in GL’s last match. This can go either way. Erased should offer the slightly better payout, making them the play.

eSports Betting Pick: Erased

League of Legends – Prime League Pro Division 2024 Germany

MOUZ vs. BIG

  • When: Saturday, May 25th, 2024

MOUZ is 0-5 in their last 5. The losses were against Austrian Force, NNO Prime, SK Gaming Prime, Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition, and BIG.

BIG has just 2 wins in their last 5. 1 of the victories, though, was against MOUZ. The odds on BIG are slightly underlaid, but it’s impossible to back MOUZ considering their form. Cash on the chalk.

eSports Betting Pick: BIG -41

SK Gaming Prime vs. Austrian Force

  • When: Saturday, May 25th, 2024

MOUZ is 0-5 in their last 5. The losses were against Austrian Force, NNO Prime, SK Gaming Prime, Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition, and BIG.

BIG has just 2 wins in their last 5. 1 of the victories, though, was against MOUZ. The odds on BIG are slightly underlaid, but it’s impossible to back MOUZ considering their form. Cash on the chalk.

eSports Betting Pick: Austrian Force +154

Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition vs. FC Schalke 04 Esports

  • When: Saturday, May 25th, 2024

UOL Sexy Edition shows just 2 wins in their last 5. The reason they’re such a big time chalk in this is because Schalke has lost 4-of-5 and is on a 3-match losing streak.

Schalke has fallen to NNO Prime, Eintracht Spandau, and Austrian Force in 3 of their last 5 matches. The favorite takes this.

eSports Betting Pick: Unicorns of Love Sexy Edition -233
