Natus Vincere and Team Heretics have both found some traction this split.
Natus Vincere are 2-2, while Team Heretics have managed only one win over the same stretch. However, they had to deal with a much tougher schedule, facing Team Vitality, Karmine Corp, G2 Esports, and Fnatic, beating the latter.
Natus Vincere have looked stable, which has to do with the fact that they have not made any roster changes and have some continuity.
However, NAVI’s only two wins of the split came against the struggling Shifters and SK Gaming, which is nothing to write home about.
Team Heretics have been a bit all over the place so far, seemingly still learning their new identity.
However, Natus Vincere did not show enough to deserve the -200 price tag. At these prices, Heretics are an excellent outsider bet.
Team Heretics to win
The best LoL bookmakers have GIANTX listed as +333 underdogs for their clash with the high-flying Karmine Corp.
Considering how dominant KC have been this split, it is fair to say they should be favoured, but at -500, they are a hard sell.
GIANTX are 2-2, which is not nearly as impressive as Karmine Corp’s 6-0 record. But over four games, GIANTX have shown some signs of life.
Somewhat volatile and unpredictable, GIANTX have had their moments against Team Vitality, and they even upset Movistar KOI, indicating that they can punch up.
The slip-ups against Shifters and SK Gaming overshadow GX’s strong games a bit, but as shown, this volatility can work both ways.
This is Karmine Corp’s game to lose, but if they catch GIANTX on a good day, a three-map series is not unlikely.
