LEC 2025 Summer Week 3 betting tips – Sunday, August 17

Sunday’s League of Legends EMEA Championship 2025 Summer schedule will feature a pair of interesting fixtures, as Team Vitality look to get back on track against the unproven Natus Vincere, ahead of the LEC’s ‘El Classico’ between G2 Esports and Fnatic.

The two games could decide which team will secure Group B’s first seed and which squad will not place top four in Group A, ensuring two high-stakes fixtures, which we have previewed and provided LoL betting picks for.

TEAM VITALITY vs NATUS VINCERE

Best Odds: Vitality -500 at BetOnline | NaVi +333 at SportsBetting
When: August 17, 2025 | 17:00 CEST
Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

Team Vitality’s first and only game of LEC 2025 Summer ended in a 0-2 loss to GIANTX. However, despite the shaky start to the split, the best LoL betting sites have the Bees priced as firm favorites to take down Natus Vincere.

The market seems to be very down on the league’s newcomers, even though they have played just one game, making it impossible to evaluate their potential. Their sole match of the split ended in a 0-2 loss to Karmine Corp. But losing to the league’s top team is not a concerning result.

There is no reason for Team Vitality to be -500 favorites over Natus Vincere, especially after their iffy performance against GIANTX. NAVI to take a map at -120.48 is a no-brainer pick. A smaller position on the moneyline is worth a look too.

G2 ESPORTS vs FNATIC

Best Odds: G2 +110 at BetOnline | Fnatic -151.52 at BetOnline
When: August 17, 2025 | 19:00 CEST

Fnatic and G2 Esports will reignite their rivalry on Sunday, in their first clash since the LEC Spring Playoffs, when G2 Esports won 3-1. The rematch is expected to have a different winner.

The Black & Orange have looked very solid so far this split, and the latest arrival, Yun “Poby” Sung-won, had an excellent performance in Fnatic’s 2-0 sweep of Team BDS.

G2 Esports have not disappointed either. They are fresh off a good showing in Week 2, when they smoked Team Heretics, so there is a world where we are in for a competitive game.

At -151.52; however, Fnatic look like the better pick, as they have looked sharper with a new mid laner. G2 Esports are also a bit of an enigma with their top-jungle swapping situation, which could backfire when faced with an elite-level jungler, Iván “Razork” Martín.
