SK Gaming and Astralis will lock horns on Friday for the first time since June 24, when Astralis came out ahead. But besides leading in the head-to-head, there isn’t much that would suggest Astralis are the better team.
Astralis hold a better record (5-6) than SK Gaming (4-7), but it’s by a single victory. Moreover, the two LoL esports teams have shown similar form over the last two weeks – with SK beating Excel Esports, G2 Esports and Team BDS, and Astralis winning against BDS and Excel.
This is one of the games that can go both ways, and we don’t have a clear preference for betting on either of the two squads. However, we like under 23.5 kills at -120.48. Astralis are a bit of a mixed bag regarding how many kills they average per game, whereas SK have been consistently involved in low-scoring games, hitting under total kills in over half of their bouts.

Team BDS are undeniably the weakest team in the league, and their 1-10 record would confirm that. Interestingly their only victory of the split came against G2 Esports, which might suggest that Team BDS have a chance of upsetting the defending champions, but we would disagree.
Team BDS’ victory against G2 during Week 2 was a complete fluke, and we can confidently say that because BDS have not produced anything noteworthy since then. This squad needs a complete roster overhaul, and even though they’ve replaced support Dino “LIMIT” Tot with Robert “Erdote” Nowak, that won’t help Team BDS’s main problem.
Not only do Team BDS lack talent, but they’ve looked completely toothless in most of their games regardless of the level of competition they’ve faced. But from a betting perspective, it’s also important to note that they have hit unders in all but two games (2-9) this split.
You could take G2 Esports to win by at least 10 kills, but there is a world where this turns into a low-scoring game, so we’ll settle for under 24.5 kills.
