League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2026 Split 2 continues on Wednesday, May 6, with Team WE taking on Invictus Gaming before Top Esports face JD Gaming. The opening match is a tough favourite-versus-longshot call, while the second series brings back a head-to-head that TES already handled cleanly earlier in the split.

Backing Team WE is uncomfortable, but that is the only way into this match at the prices.
Invictus Gaming should be winning this more often than not, and their earlier win over WE explains why the market has gone hard in their direction. The issue is the number. A -588.24 head-to-head price leaves almost no room for a flat draft, a messy early game, or one of those long LPL maps where the favourite lets the underdog hang around for far too long.
Team WE have been hard to trust, but they did at least take a map off JD Gaming last time out, which is more resistance than they were showing earlier in the split. That does not suddenly make them the better side, though it does make the gap look a little stretched when IG are being priced like a near-certainty. If WE can drag this into a scrappy third map, the upset price becomes a lot more interesting than the short favourite.

Top Esports make more sense as the slightly bigger price because the first meeting was one-way traffic.
TES beat JD Gaming 2-0 earlier in Split 2, and the way they won that series still matters. They controlled both maps, closed the opener in just over 32 minutes, and wrapped the second in under 30. JDG have steadied since then with wins over Ninjas in Pyjamas and Team WE, but neither result fully wipes away the fact that TES already showed they can win this matchup without needing a three-map coin flip.
The market has this close, and that part is fair. JDG are good enough to make the rematch much tougher, especially if they clean up the early setups that hurt them first time around. But at -105.26, TES are the side with the cleaner betting case. They have the direct result, the bigger price, and enough carry threat to punish JDG again if the series opens up.
