Rogue lost their third straight game on Saturday against the surging Fnatic, marking another major disappointment in their LEC 2025 campaign. However, the worrying part is not losing to Fnatic, but that Rogue threw away a +2k gold lead.
This is not the first time Rogue set themselves up for success only to blunder their chances, but only time will tell whether it was bad luck or a trend.
Team Vitality have not been that great this season and their showing against G2 Esports on Saturday does not inspire much confidence either. Their fast-tempo playstyle could throw a wrench in Rogue’s game plan, but Vitality are too unstable to believe this will change anything.

After a humiliating start to the year, Fnatic picked themselves up and secured three straight wins against Vitality, Team Heretics, and Rogue; however, the latter was a bit too close for comfort. Regardless of their shaky moments, it is hard to doubt this roster, which explains why they are priced as heavy favourites on the top LoL betting sites.
Team BDS, like Fnatic, had a slow start to the season with a loss against Vitality. They won their next two against G2 Esports and Rogue but lost to Team Heretics. Even though BDS are 2-2, they’ve looked very rough.
Fnatic can be a bit too volatile, but considering what Team BDS have shown, there is a good chance Fnatic will run them over with plenty to spare.
Fnatic -5.5 kills
G2 ESPORTS vs GIANTX LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |

Best Odds: | G2 -181.82 at BetOnline | GX +139 at BetOnline |

GIANTX looked excellent in the first week, and they should have won against Movistar KOI on Saturday. The latter was a weird game, but GIANTX again showed good things.
G2 Esports had endured their worst start to the season in the team’s history, looking completely lost on the Rift, relying too much on their top-mid duo. They have some big question marks and a lot more to prove, although, with their core, G2 Esports will always be a threat.
This should be a proper test for both teams and while GIANTX, in their current form, are an inviting bet at outsider odds, G2 Esports at $1.55 against any team not named Fnatic are hard to pass on.

KARMINE CORP vs TEAM HERETICS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |

Best Odds: | KC -181.82 at BetOnline | TH +139 at BetOnline |

Team Heretics proved just how vulnerable Team BDS can be on Saturday when they picked up their second victory of the season. It was a solid display from Víctor “Flakked” Lirola Tortosa and co., but beating Karmine Corp will not come as easy.
Karmine Corp have looked excellent this season and are serious candidates to end the split on the podium. After an explosive start to LEC Winter 2025, KC left another strong statement with a dominant victory against SK, proving their Week 1 results were more than a fluke.
In their wins, Karmine Corp have on average, led by 9.67 kills, so a kill handicap here is appealing, especially considering Heretics are one of the lowest-scoring squads in the LEC with a 11 kill and 12.3 death average.
Karmine Corp -7.5 kills
SK GAMING vs MOVISTAR KOI LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAIL |

---|---|
Best Odds: | SK +166 at BetOnline | MKOI -222.22 at BetOnline |

Movistar KOI looked good in the first week of LEC Winter 2025, but they did not deserve to win on Saturday. In their defence, Movistar KOI did a good job finding gaps in GIANTX’s game, but had they played any other team, Joseph Joon “Jojopyun” Pyun and co. would not have won.
While Movistar KOI were not very clean in their recent win, the Spanish outfit should not struggle against SK, who have made a strong case for themselves as the LEC’s weakest team. With an average kill/death ratio of 0.3 and four one-sided losses, SK Gaming has a lot of catching up to do.
Based on what the two teams have shown, this should be a very one-sided game.
