Counter Logic Gaming are guaranteed to finish outside the top six this split, but they have been playing significantly better of late and might have made it into the postseason had they performed that way from the get-go. In their defence, CLG were dealing with visa issues, so it is not fair to put too much weight on their early-season struggles.
Cloud9 are looking like the strongest LCS team of 2021, so it is not surprising to see them priced so low in the match betting at LoL bookmakers. Even though we can agree C9 are the most likely victors, we cannot quite understand why the kill handicap line is set at 10.5.
On recent form, the -125 on CLG with a +10.5 kill handicap is way too good to pass on. Alternatively, you might want to consider a bet on over 24.5 total kills since C9’s games tend to be very bloody.

LoL Betting Odds: | EG +100 at BetOnline | TSM -131.58 at BetOnline |

Evil Geniuses enter this match on the heels of back-to-back losses against Dignitas and Immortals, which saw them drop down to fifth place with an 8-7 record. Although they are still a good chance to appear in the LCS Spring playoffs, EG are not looking as sharp as they did a few weeks back.
As noted in some of our previous LoL betting previews, EG can defeat anyone on their day but can also lose to any team in the league. That is largely due to their volatile and aggressive playstyle, which has earned them a few big wins, but we don’t see how that approach will work against more disciplined teams such as TSM.
We have been cautious about TSM’s recent surge in form, but now it is time to accept that this a good team. It will take a lot more than EG to stop them.

Much like the other teams in the bottom four, Immortals are very inconsistent; however, we could say the same for 100 Thieves, who seem to have lost their mojo of late. Although they boast plenty of talented individuals, 100T’s apparent lack of synergy often leads to iffy plays and unnecessary deaths.
100T need this win, so they will come out with all guns blazing, but we don’t expect Immortals to just roll over and dye. This will be a bloody match with well over 20 kills on the board.
Over 21.5 kills

Dignitas have picked up a few lucky wins this split, but if you are entering the final week with a 10-5 record, you have to be doing something right. While we still believe Dignitas have overachieved a bit and likely won’t make it far in the playoffs, they are still a solid team.
People seem to be putting too much weight on Team Liquid’s 9-6 record. They might have slipped a couple of times, but Liquid are still more than capable of winning the league, which they proved last week with a dominant win against Cloud9.
Liquid have averaged 13.8 kills and 7.20 deaths in their wins, meaning they rarely win with more than six kills to spare – and that includes games against significantly weaker teams than Dignitas. With the kill handicap set at 7.5, the choice is obvious.
