?LGD Gaming and Rare Atom are out of the playoff contention, having managed just two and three wins, respectively. Last week, Rare Atom lost against Invictus Gaming (1-2) and won against LNG Esports (2-1), while LGD Gaming lost both of their series against ThunderTalk Gaming (1-2) and Top Esports (0-2).
Comparing the two teams, you can safely say that LGD Gaming are far worse, and the latest LoL betting odds confirm that. Even the latest roster switch did not do anything for the team, and based on what we’ve seen from LGD, we wouldn’t expect any late resurgence.
Rare Atom are far from a good team, but the current patch fits them since RA how to play around Nidalee+Renekton (or Camille) compositions. Even though the season is over for Rare Atom, you can be sure that all five players will put in the effort and up their value on the market ahead of the inevitable roster changes.

?Top Esports are 13-1, which puts them in an excellent spot to win the regular season. They’re one win short of catching up to JD Gaming (14-2), who have no more games left, so a perfect week will guarantee TES their first regular season title since LPL 2020 Summer.
Getting there won’t come easy, though, as Top Esports still need to defeat Victory Five, who have recently bounced back from their two-game slump with a perfect week – beating Bilibili Gaming (2-0) and UltraPrime (2-1).
Victory Five and Top Esports are easily two of the strongest teams in the league, but even though both deserve respect, it’s clear that Top Esports are stronger. They’ve not lost a single game since the opening week and enter this bout on a 13-game winning streak. Moreover, Top Esports have dropped just seven maps (27-7) this split, and five across their 13 wins.
As a clash between two LPL juggernauts, there’s a chance the series extends to three maps, but at +162, Top Esports to sweep V5 is a good bet.
