by After hitting two of our League of Legends Circuit Oceania betting picks last week, Esportbet returns with another set of predictions for Tuesday’s LCO 2021 Split 2 games. Here are our best bets for ORDER vs Dire Wolves, PEACE vs Legacy Esports, and Chiefs Esports Club vs Pentanet.gg.

?ORDER extended their win streak to seven games last week when they took down Chiefs Esports Club and Pentanet.gg. With the form ORDER have been showing across the last month, it’s fair to start believing that they might win the whole thing.
Dire Wolves enter this match on a four-game winning streak that includes wins against Gravitas, PEACE, MAMMOTH, and Legacy Esports. Although a solid record on paper, they haven’t faced much quality in that stretch.
Wolves seem more like playoff gatekeepers rather than serious title contenders. They usually do well against the bottom four teams, but they are 2-5 against the top three teams and have yet to defeat ORDER this term. Back the favourites here.

?This is a must-win match for both LCO teams as they look to secure the fifth and final ticket into the postseason. If PEACE win and Gravitas lose to MAMMOTH, they would be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs; however, a defeat would put them in a tough position since they would need to defeat ORDER on Wednesday and hope that Legacy drop the ball against MAMMOTH. The latter scenario seems highly unlikely, so it’s fair to say that whichever team wins on Tuesday will finish the season inside the top five.
Legacy Esports last met with PEACE at the end of July, when they won their second head-to-head bout of the split (2-0). Legacy have since played six games and lost all but two (2-4), which includes all of their last four outings, whereas PEACE are only 1-5 over the same stretch.
PEACE enter this bout off a win against MAMMOTH, but that is nothing to write home about. This seems like a 50/50 match, which is why we’re gladly siding with Legacy at the offered LoL betting odds.

?Pentanet.gg last met with Chiefs Esports Club during LCO Split 2 Week 6, when they won with relative ease. The match ended with 26-6 in kills and a massive 18.6k gold lead for Pentanet.gg, largely thanks to their ADC Mark “Praedyth” Lewis and mid laner Jesse “Chazz” Mahoney, who ended the game with 13/1/6 and 8/0/11 respectively.
Pentanet.gg have since gone 5-1, with their only loss coming against the surging ORDER. Chiefs are 4-2 over the same period, losing against Dire Wolves and ORDER.
Although Chiefs are good enough to be considered as one of the top three Oceanic LoL esports teams, it’s hard to favour them over a Pentanet.gg side that has a very high ceiling – as seen at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational. It will be an exciting match, but Pentanet should get it done with at least six kills to spare.
