LoL Pro League Spring 2021 betting predictions – 29/1

ESB’s League of Legends Pro League (LPL) betting predictions for Friday focus on two matches featuring eStar Gaming, LNG Esports, Team WE and Royal Never Give Up. Check out our best bets, with top odds from BetOnline.

Instead of digging into eStar Gaming and what they bring to the table, the main topic of this prediction will be LNG Esports and their performances. They enter this match off a 2-1 win against Bilibili Gaming, the latest of three less than convincing victories for the side.

The only reason why LNG are winning their games is because of their opponents’ mistakes. It’s not like we are unjustifiably bashing on LNG – that’s just the reality of their 3-1 record.

With the way they’re winning, there is no reason why LoL betting sites should have LNG priced as such short favourites here. Backing eStar to cover the map line is the safe bet, but the real value lies with the moneyline market.

Team WE continue to impress with their stable game plan – draft for neutral lanes, group for drakes, bully the other team away, rinse and repeat. With this style of play, Team WE won’t lose games against mid- and lower-table teams; however, when it comes to facing the top dogs, a more aggressive approach could prove more beneficial.

Royal Never Give Up are somewhat hard to rank. Even though they deserve some praise for their unbeaten record, we are concerned with the longevity of that run, largely due to their poor drafting.

RNG seem to always figure out a way to draft themselves into a corner, but they also have a strong game sense which compensates for that flaw. This match seems like a complete coin toss, and while betting on RNG is very appealing, we will take a safer route and back each side to win one map.
