LEC Summer betting predictions for July 31 include Team Vitality backed to cover and Movistar KOI tipped to sweep Shifters.
League of Legends EMEA Championship 2026 Summer enters the second week of play on Friday, July 31, with two games, as Team Vitality face Team Heretics, followed by a clash between Shifters and Movistar KOI.
At Esportbet, you can find free League of Legends betting predictions and picks for the two matches, and esports odds from the best bookmakers for esports gamblers.
Team Vitality finished the first week of LEC 2026 Summer with a 1-2 record, which includes two defeats against Karmine Corp and G2 Esports, and a 2-1 victory against Movistar KOI.
Team Heretics, on the other side, have yet to play a game this split, nor have they had a chance to debut their new ADC Byeon “Hype” Jeong-hyeon.
Vitality’s slow start should be taken with a grain of salt, as they had a very tough schedule, facing two of the league’s top teams before beating Movistar KOI in a relatively close game.
Given the schedule Vitality were handed, they have done well, and this is a good team.
Even with the looming question of how their new mid laner, An “FIESTA” Hyeon-seo, will do while trying to fill Marek “Humanoid” Brázda’s shoes, Vitality have a solid core.
Team Heretics were nothing short of disappointing in LEC Spring, and with minimal roster changes ahead of the summer split, it is hard to imagine them improving massively.

Shifters have made a name for themselves as LEC’s weakest team, so it comes as no surprise that the top-rated LoL betting sites have them listed as +650 underdogs for their first match of the summer split.
At this number, Shifters are given a 13.3% implied probability of beating Movistar KOI, who, unlike Shifters, have had a chance to warm up in the opening week of the split.
Movistar KOI ended the first week of play with a 0-3 record, which includes a 0-2 loss against Karmine Corp and two 1-2 defeats against G2 Esports and Team Vitality.
Despite the poor record, Movistar showed some good things. They should have won at least one map against KC and had a real chance of beating Team Vitality.
Yet KOI made a few too many mistakes, suggesting they have kept their up-and-down identity, which has been their trademark for years.
Movistar KOI are rarely a good option as favourites due to their volatile nature. But Shifters have been one of the worst teams of the season, and even with the roster changes they made ahead of the summer split, Shifters do not appear as a serious threat for KOI.
