League of Legends Pro League 2026 Split 2 betting tips – Thursday, April 23

League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2026 Split 2 continues on Thursday, April 23, with LGD Gaming taking on EDward Gaming before Ninjas in Pyjamas face Bilibili Gaming. It is a short two-match slate, but there are still a couple of decent betting angles, with one playable favourite in the opener and one live underdog in the later match where the short price on BLG does not offer much.

LGD GAMING vs EDWARD GAMING

Best Odds	LGD Gaming +160 at BetOnline | EDward Gaming -222.22 at SportsBetting

EDward Gaming still make plenty of sense at this price.

LGD are capable of making a series awkward if they get the early game moving, but EDG still look like the more reliable side over a full best-of-three. They tend to handle the messier stretches of a match a little better, and that usually matters in these sorts of mid-range LPL spots.

The price is not huge, but it still sits in a range where the stronger team is worth backing. LGD should have their moments, though EDward Gaming still look better placed to steady the series and finish the job.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs BILIBILI GAMING

Best Odds	Ninjas in Pyjamas +500 at BetOnline | Bilibili Gaming -1000 at SportsBetting
When	April 23, 2026 | 19:00 CST

Ninjas in Pyjamas are the only side worth a proper look from a betting angle.

Bilibili Gaming deserve to be heavy favourites, but once the number drops to -1000, it stops being especially useful from a punting point of view. In a best-of-three, one rough draft or one scrappy early game can make the whole series feel very different, and that is all NiP need to keep the underdog price alive.

NiP do not need to be the better team over the long run for this bet to make sense. They just need to turn the match into the kind of series where BLG are forced to work much harder than the odds suggest. At this quote, the upset is clearly the more interesting play.
