Oh My God reverse-swept Ultra Prime on Wednesday to keep their winning streak alive. But according to the LPL betting odds, their run should end on Friday.

ThunderTalk Gaming lost against EDward Gaming at the start of the week in a bizarre series where the team that played offside performed better. It was a bit off-script, but nothing unusual for Group Nirvana.

Results-wise Oh My God are the better team, but ThunderTalk have the side choice and are more stable of the two. They also tend to play more scaling, which should work well against Oh My God, who aren’t particularly effective in the early game.

Top Esports would have lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas on Tuesday if the latter team was not so poor at macro play. Anyone’s Legend have not played a single game since last Thursday, when they were crushed by Weibo Gaming.

Anyone’s Legend are 3-2 in LPL 2024 Summer. That is not terrible, especially considering AL have some impressive performance metrics and are extremely good at closing games when they are in the lead.

Top Esports are one of the scariest teams in the LPL, but esports betting sites should not be pricing them as short as -285.71. Anyone’s Legend’s win condition is to prevent Top Esports from getting too far ahead early, which is entirely possible considering their past showings.

Ninjas in Pyjamas could have taken the first map off Top Esports on Tuesday, but they found a way to throw the lead away with questionable decision-making. The second map was much more one-sided and played out exactly how the series was expected to go.

Seeing Ninjas in Pyjamas struggle against Top Esports does not sound concerning. But they have looked just as bad against any other team in the league, so they will unlikely do any better against the LPL’s strongest squad.

Despite getting absolutely smoked by Weibo Gaming on map one last round, Bilibili Gaming returned the favour on the final two maps, proving they are still a force to be reckoned with. Unless BLG slow down significantly, this will be a bloodbath.

There is no significant difference between the eight teams in Group Nirvana. Although some have accumulated more wins than others, no squad has stood out as the best.

Oh My God are 4-0 and Ultra Prime are 2-3, but those records do not tell the whole story. Both teams have had victories gifted to them, the most obvious examples being their respective wins against Team WE last weekend.

While Oh My God are in good form, Ultra Prime are a bit underrated at the offered League of Legends betting odds. As OMG have side selection, backing the underdogs to win the second map looks like a solid play.

LNG Esports ran over Ninjas in Pyjamas, Weibo Gaming, Top Esports, and Bilibili Gaming in the first three weeks, but it all came to a stop when lost against FunPlus Phoenix on Sunday. It was a rough day at the office for LNG, who made too many mistakes.

JD Gaming are 4-2 in LPL 2024 Summer and in a good spot to finish Group Ascend in the top two, but they’re a bit rough around the edges. However, this is still an elite team and one of the world’s most consistent and stable macro squads.

LNG Esports looked much cleaner than JD Gaming earlier in this split; one loss does not take away from that. With side choice and enough talent to compete with the best the LPL has to offer, LNG are an easy choice at +101 with top betting sites.

Oh My God ended LPL 2024 Summer Placements as the only team without a single series won. Royal Never Give Up were hardly more successful, finishing Group B in last place with a 1-5 record and 3-11 in maps. They’ve since added a 1-2 loss to EDward Gaming in the first week of LPL 2024 Summer.

Both teams struggled in the early game during the Summer Placements, rarely holding a gold lead at 20 minutes. Their mid-game performance was just as terrible.

Based on their showings in the first stage of the split, Royal Never Give Up and Oh My God are the weakest teams entering the LPL 2024 Summer regular season. And with little to separate them, backing the team with side choice at plus money makes the most sense.

FunPlus Phoenix showed very promising performances last split, when they ranked as one of the top five teams in the league. However, they were far less impressive during the Summer Placements.

JD Gaming defeated FunPlus Phoenix twice last month. However, in the most recent series, FPX were the better team and held over 6k gold lead on the second map until they were outplayed by Seo “Kanavi” Jin-hyeok’s Zyra pick.

FunPlus Phoenix are talented enough to compete at the top level and will be a force to be reckoned with if they iron some things out. That’s a good enough reason to back them to keep their map pick close.

At the offered LoL esports betting odds on this match, it’s fair to wonder whether backing the underdogs is the wiser option. Yet there are reasons to believe Top Esports are simply that much better.

Top Esports are 5-0 in LPL play since their early exit from Mid-Season Invitational 2024, with four of those series ending in clean sweeps. Rare Atom have managed a respectable 3-2 record, but they showed some cracks against Oh My God and LNG Esports in the first and second weeks.

Rare Atom look like one of the best non-contender teams in the LPL and have shown enough to suggest they can do well against other mid-table teams. Beating elite teams such as Top Esports won’t come as easy, but from a betting perspective, siding with the underdogs on the kill handicap makes sense.

Top Esports will start with a side choice, which makes the idea of an upset less likely. However, on their map pick, Rare Atom should be able to keep the score within 10 kills.

Oh My God have not won a single game across the first three weeks of LoL Pro League 2024 Summer Placements. They have not looked good in any of the five series played, and while there’s room for improvement, they need to show something before we can put any trust in them.

LNG Esports are not a very trustworthy team either. They rarely try to make something happen on the map, instead opting to pray on their opponents’ mistakes. While this can be effective against lesser opposition, it means LNG often struggle against the better teams in the league.

Regardless of their lack of consistency and questionable strategy, LNG Esports are an inviting bet to sweep at -151.52 with esports betting sites.

Oh My God have not added any new players this offseason, so they enter the LPL 2024 Summer Placements with a lot of continuity. They did enough in LPL 2024 Spring to sneak into the playoffs, yet OMG weren’t exactly title contenders.

Rare Atom, on the other side, missed the spring playoffs completely, with just four wins to their name. Unsurprisingly, they decided to rebuild for the second half of the year.

Bringing in top-laner Liu “Yu” Yu, jungler Peng “Xiaohao” Hao, and Sun “Jwei” Jun-Wei, Rare Atom cut the dead weight and added players who could fit in with their aggressive style of play. But while this iteration could do better, it’s hard to imagine Rare Atom competing for top spots.

Considering Oh My God are not that good, there are priced as heavy favourites with esports betting sites. Even though Rare Atom still have to prove that their new lineup will work, they have the right tools to be feisty underdogs.

Royal Never Give Up enter this match off a crushing 2-0 loss to Team WE in a series where they choked with a 5k gold lead on the second map. Throwing away massive leads isn’t indicative of any significant problem, and it perhaps has more to do with the fact that RNG’s new signings — mid-laner Liu “Xzz” Zhu and ADC Tang “huanfeng” Huan-Feng — haven’t had a chance to settle in yet.

There are reasons to feel optimistic about Royal Never Give Up, but not for this match. Bilibili Gaming are one of the best LoL esports teams in the world, performing at an exceptional level both individually and as a unit.

They’ve played a ton of games this season, so there is a chance some fatigue could be settling in. Still, this is not the game where you’d bet against the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 runners-up.

Royal Never Give Up will have side choice, so we’re taking Bilibili to win their map pick with 10 kills to spare.

OH MY GOD vs TEAM WE LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Oh My God and Team WE will clash on Saturday, March 30, in the opening round of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Spring playoffs. The two sides last met in the first week of the regular season, when OMG won, and there’s a good chance they’ll recreate that success on Saturday.

Team WE finished the regular season in ninth place, one below Oh My God, albeit with the same 8-8 record. Not only have the two teams won the same number of games, they also hold similar performance metrics.

Oh My God and Team WE both averaged just north of 1,800 gold per minute, and they hold similar first blood (40.5%–39.5%) and first tower (43.2%–48.6%) stats. Besides the numbers, OMG and WE also ended the LPL Spring regular season in concerning form.

Team WE had a strong start to the year but ended the group stage with four very concerning losses against Rare Atom, Top Esports, ThunderTalk Gaming, and LNG Esports. Their 2-0 sweep of UltraPrime in the final week was a nice bounceback, but WE’s results were far from great over the last three weeks.

Oh My God have been a mediocre team throughout the regular season. Still, they’ve had some elite performances, showing they have a high ceiling.

OMG will have side selection for this series — which, considering they have a +50% win rate on red side, might not mean much. However, Team WE are one of the league’s worst offside squads, which makes backing Oh My God to win the first map a very inviting option at -136.99 with top esports betting sites.

Anyone’s Legend looked very competitive throughout the first five weeks of the LPL 2024 Spring, but they’ve lost four straight games since the sixth week of the split. That includes defeats against Rare Atom, Invictus Gaming, Royal Never Give Up, and JD Gaming on Saturday.

Anyone’s Legend took a map from JD Gaming, which sounds promising, but they’ve also lost against Rare Atom and Royal Never Give Up, which isn’t a good look for them.

LNG Esports are 4-1 over their last five games; however, they’ve had a very easy schedule to fight through. Over their last five, LNG has beaten EDward Gaming, Invictus Gaming, Ultra Prime, and Royal Never Give Up but lost against LGD Gaming.

LNG have the talent to do well, but they’ve yet to show the high-level gameplay everyone expected of them. So even though it’s more than fair to question Anyone’s Legend’s quality, it’s even harder to believe that LNG Esports can justify their tag as -250 favourites.

Bilibili Gaming sits atop the LPL 2024 Spring standings with a 13-1 record and an equally impressive +22 map difference. They’re on an eight-game winning streak, with seven games ending in 2-0 sweeps.

Bilibili Gaming looks like the best team in the league; however, they’ve reached a point where they’ve started to test their limits. This can and will backfire; the only question is which team will catch Bilibili Gaming off-guard.

Oh My God won their seventh series of the split on Sunday when they swept Ultra Prime, improving the impression they left on Friday when Oh My God lost to Royal Never Give Up. This team has been decent when faced with weaker opponents, and they showed some fight when paired with the LPL’s top teams, but qualitatively, they’re not up there with the best.

Oh My God’s success against stronger opponents came down mainly to them praying for mistakes. However, while Bilibili Gaming is not known for making errors, their careless approach to the games makes backing Oh My God with a kill handicap on their map pick an appealing choice.

FunPlus Phoenix made a huge statement on Monday when they broke Top Esports’ five-game winning streak, proving that they can compete with strongest squads in the LPL. That said, over the last eight series they’ve also produced some questionable games against weaker opponents.

Ninjas in Pyjamas claimed their seventh victory of the split on Sunday when they edged past LNG Esports. It was a good effort, but like in most of their games so far this season, NiP made it very clear that they’re a passive team. Waiting on their opponents to make mistakes might work against lower-rated opponents, but it won’t be a very efficient approach when faced with LPL’s top squads.

Knowing that FunPlus Phoenix are prone to making mistakes, Ninjas in Pyjamas should do fine on Thursday. But FPX can also perform at a very high level, so at the odds on offer with the top LoL betting sites, we prefer the underdogs on the map handicap market.

EDward Gaming won their first match of the season on Sunday against Anyone’s Legend. For that series, they fielded jungler Wang “Monki” Meng-Qi and Hu “Ale” Jia-Le, who played a significant role in EDward Gaming’s success and will likely keep their spots as starters.

OMG defeated Weibo Gaming on Sunday, which only serves to highlight their inconsistency. They defeated Team WE in week one, then lost to FunPlus Phoenix, beat ThunderTalk Gaming, and lost to Anyone’s Legend.

Although potent underdogs, Oh My God are a team you’d want to fade when priced as heavy favourites. And seeing them face an improved EDward Gaming is a perfect chance to do that.

Weibo Gaming are priced as -250 favourites with BetOnline to defeat Anyone’s Legend, which is short considering how inconsistent they’ve been this split. Weibo have looked a bit rough to start the season, and even last weekend they failed to impress with their three-map defeat against Oh My God.

The talent is there, and Weibo Gaming have decent performance stats, but in most of their games against stronger teams, they have looked mediocre. Still, considering the talent on this roster, it is fair to believe WBG will ultimately be a much better team.

Anyone’s Legend are not a very good team, and their recent two defeats against EDward Gaming and ThunderTalk Gaming prove it. So even though it’s tough to trust Weibo Gaming, this is one of the games they shouldn’t be losing.

ThunderTalk Gaming have been pretty inconsistent this split. They are 1-4 after three weeks of play with a 4-9 map record, but to make matters worse, they’re the only team so far to lose to Rare Atom.

Anyone’s Legend are 4-2 with defeats against Bilibili Gaming and Team WE and wins over LGD Gaming, FunPlus Phoenix, Ultra Prime, and Oh My God. Even though AL have yet to defeat a good team, they’ve shown good performances and look like a solid mid-table team.

Their true test will come after this week when they face tougher squads. But even if AL fall apart against LPL’s top dogs, they have proved to be a tier above the bottom teams.

ThunderTalk have had their moments, but that is not a good reason to take their side against Anyone’s Legend, who are one of the most consistent performers of LPL 2024 Spring.

Rare Atom have been a complete disaster this split and are one of the prime candidates to collect the LPL’s wooden spoon. The pre-season expectations weren’t high, and they have yet to prove anyone wrong; however, Rare Atom managed to defeat ThunderTalk Gaming on Sunday, which has bumped them up a bit in the public eye.

One victory against another bottom-tier team doesn’t prove much, however. Rare Atom are still fundamentally flawed, with some of the worst performance metrics in early, mid, and late game.

Oh My God have looked far from excellent over the first three weeks of the split but have been playing better than the initial low expectations. They lost a close three-map series against Anyone’s Legend on Sunday and haven’t found much success against stronger teams.

Still, OMG, unlike Rare Atom, have a mid-table team pulse. The favourites should win this one comfortably.

Ninjas in Pyjamas are fresh off a worrying 2-1 victory against Ultra Prime, but that match happened after the Lunar New Year break, which played a role in UP finding the right strategy to do some damage.

One shaky game isn’t a reason for concern, especially with Ninjas in Pyjamas, who are the type of team that will run over any squad that can’t match their strong laners. One such example is EDward Gaming.

Three weeks into LPL 2024 Spring, EDward Gaming have yet to win a series, and unless they figure something out, they won’t see much success this season. Losing support Tian “Meiko” Ye has now proven to be a catalyst of this team’s downfall, although EDward Gaming have far more issues than just a lack of solid leadership.

The kill handicap for this match is set pretty high at 9.5, and even though NiP may run EDG over and close out the maps with double-digit leads, under 25.5 kills for both maps is a more reasonable choice.

ThunderTalk Gaming started the 2024 League of Legends season with an upset win against LNG Esports but didn’t see the same success against Weibo Gaming on Sunday. In contrast, Oh My God won against Team WE in the opening week of the split but lost against LNG.

ThunderTalk beating LNG and Oh My God losing against the same team doesn’t prove that TT Gaming is stronger. But they have strong continuity, having kept the core intact, which helped them perform better in the first week of action.

Oh My God isn’t a bottom-tier team, but based on what they’ve shown over the first week, they’re not that good either. They lost a lot of the top talent and coaching staff this offseason, and while Oh My God did a fine job building a new roster, this iteration should be much weaker than the 2023 version.

LNG Esports lost their opening match of the 2024 LPL Spring Split against ThunderTalk Gaming, but bounced back with a convincing 2-0 sweep of Oh My God. Having faced two weaker teams, LNG Esports hasn’t had a chance to show much.

Despite their rough start to the season, LNG Esports are still a very strong team. The only concern with LNG currently is the little time this line-up has had to gel.

Weibo Gaming has proven to have a very volatile top lane but a stable mid and bottom, keeping their identity from 2023. Like last season, Weibo Gaming seems like they’ll be a team that shouldn’t be trusted as favourites, but they are dangerous underdogs.

Weibo Gaming have enough talent to challenge any team in the LPL and are a solid bet as underdogs in this match. LNG is still a bit shaky, which should be enough for WBG to do damage.
