DIGNITAS vs FLYQUEST LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| LoL Betting Odds: | Dignitas -158.73 at BetOnline | FlyQuest +119 at BetOnline |

?Dignitas ended LCS 2021 Spring in fifth-sixth place with a 11-7 regular season record – only two wins short of Cloud9 (13-5) in first. What makes their run that much more impressive is that Dignitas fielded a fairly mediocre roster relative to their final placement.
This is a prime example of a team with an elite coaching staff that can turn any stack of five players into playoff contenders. On the other side, FlyQuest struggled to achieve the same success last split, finishing eighth (6-13) despite fielding better players.
Since this is still the opening week of the split, siding with the outsiders might make more sense. But until FlyQuest show some improvement, Dignitas come off as a better pick.

CLOUD9 vs 100 THIEVES LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | Cloud9 -222.22 at BetOnline | 100T +169 at BetOnline |

?100 Thieves enter LCS 2021 Summer with a new mid laner in Felix “Abbedagge” Braun, who should be a massive upgrade to Tommy “ry0ma” Le. Not only is his preference for control mages far more valuable for 100T and what they want to achieve, but Abbedagge is also a much better player than anyone 100T have had in the mid lane over the years.
Cloud9 are the reigning LCS Spring champions, who enter the second split with a new ADC in Calvin “K1ng” Truong, who will replace Jesper “Zven” Svenningsen. The decision might seem a bit off given that Zven is one of NA greats, but you can’t say K1ng hasn’t earned his spot in the LCS.
This one should be an exciting match between two teams that have made impactful roster changes. The esports bookmakers offer +169 on 100 Thieves, which is very generous considering 100T should be much stronger in the bottom lane and they have enough talent to match C9 in other positions.

COUNTER LOGIC GAMING vs TEAM LIQUID LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | CLG +214 at BetOnline | Liquid -303.03 at BetOnline |

?Anyone who has been following our LoL betting predictions for LCS 2021 Spring should know what we think about Team Liquid. They’re an excellent team but not necessarily a very kill-hungry one.
This makes them a perfect team to bet again on the kill handicap market since they were very inefficient in covering the line throughout the LCS Spring. They might still end up in the finals, but don’t expect any high-scoring games from them.
For this match, the esports bookmakers offer +102 on Counter Logic Gaming to keep this match within five kills, which underrates them a bit. CLG are actually a good team assembled from outcasts with a chip on their shoulder and should not be overlooked.
Counter Logic Gaming +5.5 kills
IMMORTALS vs GOLDEN GUARDIANS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | Immortals +214 at BetOnline | GG -303.03 at BetOnline |
| When: | June 5, 2021 at 16:00 PDT |

?Golden Guardians replaced their top laner Aiden “Niles” Tidwell with the former LCS finalist Colin “Solo” Earnest, who is both a veteran figure and an upgrade to Niles. The signing of Solo makes GG a better team, but not necessarily a good team.
Immortals will run it back from LCS Spring, fielding the same lineup. That isn’t bad, but it’s not like they have a realistic chance to finish this split inside the top-six.
You could argue that Immortals field better talent, but we don’t quite agree with the betting odds, which imply this is a 36/64 game. Instead, we feel like Golden Guardians should be priced closer to even money, especially for a match played so early into a split.
