?Suning are desperately trying to improve their seeding for the LPL Spring playoffs, but unless Rare Atom and FunPlus Phoenix both drop their games, the 2020 LoL World Championship finalists won’t be finishing the regular season inside the top six. Regardless, Suning don’t seem like they’re ready to take their foot off the gas as they enter this match off a commanding 2-0 sweep of Bilibili Gaming on Tuesday that effectively denied Bilibili a spot in the postseason.

If Suning can recreate that performance, eStar Gaming will have little to no chance of walking away with anything. Despite the generous match odds on offer for the underdogs at esports betting sites, we don’t feel like that is the way to go here. The kill handicap, however, is a different story.

Suning should win this, but they have no real incentive to smash eStar since a more macro-focused game should do the job. For that reason, we are taking the outsiders with a +9.5 kill handicap for the first map.

FunPlus Phoenix got stomped by Victory Five last time out, but we wouldn’t hold that against them seeing as V5 usually win games where they get on the picks they’re comfortable with. The problem is that V5 haven’t been doing much of that this split, so it’s easy to view them as a weak team (which they aren’t).

Bilibili Gaming suffered a 0-2 loss against Suning on Tuesday where they failed to show anything that would excite us. We had high expectations for Bilibili, but it has become clear that they have no idea how to approach games in which they grab leads – and they definitely have no clue what to do when they’re behind.

Here at www.iikinesiology.com, we like our underdogs, but with the way Bilibili have been playing of late, we just don’t feel comfortable taking their side against FPX.

JD Gaming have looked like a completely different team of late and in some ways remind us of the JDG at the 2020 LoL World Championship. However, we should be careful not to overreact to a couple of good games and forget about JDG’s struggles throughout the season.

Although we don’t want to put JDG on the pedestal, we have to understand that their next opponents are Oh My God, who are a much weaker team that should have no business winning this match. There might have been plenty of upsets in the LPL this split, but outside of that, you can’t make a case for OMG.

The kill line is set at 9.5, which might seem high, however, JDG have averaged +10.5 kill differential in their wins, and that average includes games against much stronger teams than OMG. Expect a complete stomp from the 2020 LPL Summer finalists.

?

Similarly to JD Gaming, Suning have found their long-lost LoL World Championship form and are currently playing some of the best LoL we’ve seen them play this season. The question, however, is whether do we trust Suning to keep playing like this or will they fall apart when it’ll matter the most.

Suning enter this match care-free since they’re already locked in for the playoffs and have no chance of improving their seeding, so perhaps they’ll take the series a bit more lightly and try out some new things. That, however, is not the case for Bilibili Gaming, who desperately need a win only to catch up to LNG Esports and not get eliminated from the playoffs race.

The LoL betting odds make it very clear how this game should go, but there is just too much value on Bilibili for us to ignore. This team has done well enough to earn our respect and have proven before they can compete with the best LPL squads.

?Ding “Puff” Wang returned to the Invictus Gaming lineup last Friday for the first time since the LPL Summer campaign, and his impact was immediate. In his 2021 debut, Puff led IG to a massive 2-0 victory against EDward Gaming, handing the league leaders their first loss of the season.

Bilibili Gaming’s last match ended in a defeat to EDG (0-2), which was hardly a surprise. Although BLG are a good team, they’re not great, which more or less sums up where this squad stands heading into Week 7 of LPL Spring 2021.

With talented youngsters and experienced veterans on the team, Bilibili can defeat anyone as long as they don’t beat themselves, which to some degree holds true for IG as well. Even though Invictus are generally far more volatile – as seen in their loss against Suning on Sunday – they are very effective against mid- and lower-table teams.

?TT Gaming enter this match off a 1-2 defeat against JD Gaming, which is not a terrible loss considering JDG’s quality. That followed a loss to Rare Atom (1-2) that TT would have won if not for a serious blunder in game three.

Although TT look better than they did in LPL Summer 2020 (when they were still Dominus Esports) thanks to their early-game aggression and high-tempo playstyle, they still struggle with their late-game decision making. While that means we can’t expect TT to achieve much in the long run, this playstyle is good enough to pocket an upset win here and there.

Suning boast an extremely strong mid-jungle duo but often fail to leverage that advantage, making them very vulnerable in the side lanes. They also seem a bit disorganised on the Rift and tend to fall apart if things don’t go their way early on.

The Lions should still win this match, as they’re much stronger than TT, but we don’t expect a clean sweep.

LGD Gaming had a few flashes of greatness this season, but it seems like those were more a byproduct of their opponents’ mistakes rather than LGD’s own work. Although LGD look better than expected, they are still the same team as last season, with the same coaching staff and worse individual players.

After losing their first two games of the season against Suning (0-2) and Rogue Warriors (1-2), Top Esports picked up their first win last Friday, when they crushed RareAtom. The game was not particularly clean, however, it was fairly obvious Top were just there to have a good time and to flex their individual player quality and we expect much of the same here.

Some esports betting sites offer $1.76 on the bout lasting less than 31 minutes, which is a good bet largely because LGD don’t have the tools to stretch this game out.

FunPlus Phoenix secured their second win of the split on Tuesday when they bested Rogue Warriors 2-0. Even though FPX won both games in sub-26 minutes, they did not impress us with their poor decision making and somewhat underwhelming early-game.

What’s more FPX enter this match with jungler Zhou “Bo” Yang-Bo as a replacement for Gao “Tian” Tian-Liang, who has decided to step away from the competitive LoL due to personal issues.

Suning haven’t looked too sharp so far this season either and after seeing them loose to RareAtom (0-2), it’s only fair to doubt their quality. Suning’s biggest weakness seems to be their inability to be proactive and while we still believe this will be a good team in the long run, they need to make some adjustments in order to succeed.

Given Suning’s recent struggles, FPX come off as a better pick, but they are by no means invincible. Both teams to win one map is a safe pick with good odds.

Top Esports will clash with Suning the opening fixture of the 2021 LPL season in what may seem like a close affair, but this is no longer the Suning we know from last season. That is not to say the Lions are now a bad team, but they are entering this match without two key players that helped them reach the grand finals of the 2020 LoL World Championship.

Support Hu “SwordArt” Shuo-Chieh has left to Team SoloMid, whereas ADC Tang “huanfeng” Huan-Feng is expected to miss the season opener due to some off-the-Rift scandal.?Replacing him will be Xie “Jinjiao” Jin-Shan, who is regarded as a huge prospect, but until we see him in action it’s hard to value him over Yu “JackeyLove” Wen-Bo.

Suning still have some solid pieces in the team, but they can hardly compare to Top Esports, who field one of the strongest rosters in the league. Expect Top Esports to start the new season strong and secure a 2-0 sweep.

All esports betting sites agree that the second fixture of the 2021 LPL season will be just as one-sided as the Suning vs Top Esports bout, and we don’t have a problem with that. Although EDward Gaming’s success in recent years was fairly limited, they have assembled a very competitive roster that is bound to help them reach new heights in 2021.

By promoting Huang “Xiaoxiang” Xiang, EDward have potentially gained some stability in the top side, whereas Ming “Clearlove” Kai’s return to the Rift should help EDG with their shot-calling and decision-making. Perhaps the most exciting addition to the team is ADCs Park “Viper” Do-hyeon who will be eager to prove he is still as good as he was during his time at Griffin in 2018-2019.

Oh My God made no big-name signings during the offseason and instead opted to try out young and inexperienced players. That is by no means a bad path to take considering how much success rookie squads had in 2020.

EDG seem like the most likely victors, but we are not confident they can secure a clean sweep. With all the new faces on the team, EDG will likely struggle with synergy for a while, this should give OMG a chance to cause some damage. Check out the top esports betting apps to find a place to bet.

Team Liquid Faces Suning

In the upcoming week, Team Liquid is preparing for battle against Suning, and is the underdogs among the best esports betting sites. It’s Suning’s first time making an appearance at “Worlds”, and many believe they’ll go far in the competition.

However, the odds only tilt in their favor, and the match could go either way. Team Liquid dominated the play-ins and are high in the world rankings. They need to enter the arena with a clear head and not be overconfident, because it’ll cost them the game.

Suning has stunned the world with their performances and form throughout the year, and they shouldn’t be underestimated.

After ViCi Gaming and PSG.LGD battled for the first Dota 2 Pro Cup upper bracket final, they’re looking at a rematch as they did in the OGA Dota 2 Pit Season Three in China on the weekend. As betting sites stand today, they’re backing PSG.LGD.

The foes have faced each other many times in the past, with ViCi gaming losing many of the battles. Despite past encounters, the two rosters match up reasonably well. Over their most recent meetings, a pattern has emerged where they trade places of the winning position. The last battle saw PSG victorious, and before that, ViCi took the crown.

Whenever these two top dogs play, we’re always treated to an intense and skillful match.

TOP ESPORTS vs SUNING LPL SUMMER BETTING PREVIEW

Top Esports will look to bounce back from a rare loss this Thursday when they clash with Suning, who enter the second-to-last week of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) Summer 2020 regular season as one of the hottest teams in the division.

Top Esports looked unstoppable throughout the opening six weeks of the split but seemingly run out of steam in Week 7, when they lost their first series against the rejuvenated Victory Five (1-2). While Hung “Karsa” Hao-Hsuan and his crew regained some confidence with two sweeps against ViCi Gaming and Dominus Esports, they ended up dropping another fixture on Sunday when they were outmatched by Invictus Gaming (2-0).

Despite their two hiccups, Top Esports remain one of the favourites to claim the LPL Summer crown and can still finish top two to secure a spot on the semi-finals. However, anything less than a 4-0 run through the final two weeks could put them at risk of missing out on the top four.

Suning enter this match as one of the biggest surprises in the LPL this season. Given they finished in 11th place last split, Xiang “Angel” Tao and his team have gone well above anyone’s expectations.

Since their three losses to JD Gaming (0-2), Invictus Gaming (0-2) and EDward Gaming (1-2) in the early weeks of the split, Suning have won eight consecutive matches to climb into the top three at 10-3. They hold the fifth-highest game win rate at 21-13 as well as the fourth-lowest average death count per game (11.3), fifth-highest gold differential per minute (+86 GDM) and fifth-highest gold per minute (1789 GPM).

Mid laner Angel (4.4 KDA, 26.4% damage share) and ADC Tang “huanfeng” Huan-Feng (4.6 KDA, 30.3% damage share) are the main carries in this team, while top laner Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin is averaging 2.9 KDA and 22.8% damage share. Le? “SofM” Quang Duy’s numbers for the split are less impressive, yet he is still one of the most impactful jungers in the LPL and has lifted his KDA to 4.36 in the past three weeks, which is 12% higher than his season average of 3.9.

TOP ESPORTS vs SUNING LPL SUMMER BETTING PREDICTIONS

Despite their excellent form, Suning are still highly underestimated by both the LoL community and esports bookmakers. Even so, it is hard to understand how they are priced as such huge underdogs for this bout after eight consecutive wins.

Suning’s penchant for playing out all three games in a series makes them difficult to back against good opposition. However, it does mean they are every chance to take at least one map in any given contest.

Top Esports have lost two out of their last four matches. While they had no real issues defeating ViCi and Dominus, they do not look nearly as dominant as they did in the early stages of the split.

For that reason, we are not comfortable siding with the favourites in either the head-to-head betting or the handicap market. Suning should take at least one map and cover the line, while there is also some value in backing them to spring the upset.
