FlyQuest will open the next stage of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship on Saturday when they face Top Esports in Group D. The Americans are underdogs with LoL betting sites<\/a>, as their Chinese opponents are outright favourites for the title and come into this clash on a winning streak.<\/p>\n As it\u2019s the opening match of the group stage, whoever wins this matchup will have a significant advantage going forward. FlyQuest will be hoping for a big display from Lucas \u201cSantorin\u201d Larsen, who was ranked the best LCS jungler last season.<\/p>\n NG Esports are putting together an international superteam of Asian Counter-Strike stars. The first member to join the Thai CS:GO team is Anthony “ImpressioN” Lim, who will take the role of team captain and rifler.<\/p>\n We\u2019re still awaiting news on further additions, but with ImpressioN leading the pack, it\u2019s looking good already. We won\u2019t have to wait too long for updates as NG intend to participate in the IEM Beijing-Haidan qualifier. If they plan to meet that goal, they\u2019ll need to get some serious practice in by mid-October. <\/p>\n Rumour has it that Ricky “\u2060floppy\u2060” Kemery has received an invite to remain with Cloud9’s new-look CS: GO roster, but we\u2019re still awaiting confirmation. <\/p>\n After a poor performance over the year, the North American organization decided to recruit a new team. However, they\u2019ve committed to finding their current roster new homes. <\/p>\n Among those leaving are three South Africans: Johnny \u201cJT\u201d Theodosiou, Aran \u201cSonic\u201d Groesbeek, and coach Tiaan \u201cT.c\u201d Coertzen.<\/p>\n In the first phase of investigation into the use of a spectator bug during CS:GO matches, the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC) has banned 37 coaches from professional teams. Thus, we can expect some big CS:GO betting<\/a> swings for games involving the affected rosters.<\/p>\n Some have received more severe bans than others: a few have copped 3.75-month suspensions, while others will sit out for 10 months. Aleksandr \u201c\u2060MechanoGun\u201d Bogatiryev was hit hardest of all, receiving a 36-month ban.<\/p>\n The ESIC reported that only a small portion of the investigation is complete, and more news will come towards the end of October. The Commission is also investigating several match-fixing cases.<\/p>\nAsia esports news<\/h2>\n
