LoL EU Masters 2021 Summer predictions – Wednesday, September 1

Esportbet returns with free League of Legends betting tips for Wednesday’s European Masters 2021 Summer bouts. Here are our best bets and top odds for PENTA 1860 vs PDW and AGO Rogue vs UCAM Esports Club.

AGO Rogue enter this match as betting favourites, which makes sense, considering they are one of the top picks to win the tournament. However, we believe that the odds are still a bit high considering how much better the Poles are.

UCAM Esports Club’s performance metrics are one of the lowest in Group A, with 16.6 kills per win (KPW), 19.3 deaths per loss (DPL), +1766 Gold Per Minute (GPM) and only +147 Gold Difference at 15 minutes (GD@15). Their Early Game Rating (EGR) is 48.5, while UCAM Esports Club’s Mid-Late Game Rating is at 7.1.

In comparison, AGO Rogue’s metrics show 18.2 KPW, 14 DPL, 1938 GPM, +3369 GD@15, 77 EGR, and 8.7 MLR. What’s more, AGO Rogue have much better First Blood Rate (57% – 44%), First Turret Rate (71% – 56%), and First Dragon Rate (50% – 22%).

Obviously, you can’t compare regular-season figures from two different leagues accurately; however, you can’t really say that Ultraliga is weaker than LVP SuperLiga. There is no reason for UCAM Esports Club to be priced so close to AGO Rogue. This is an easy bet on the Polish team.

PENTA 1860 will clash with PDW on Wednesday in what promises to be an exciting affair. The Germans might not average the most kills per win (19.5); however, they give up a lot in their losses (26.6 deaths), whereas PDW seem fairly stable with their KPW (17.2) and DPL (16.8) metrics.

Comparing the team’s performance metrics over the season, PENTA 1860 have averaged +1949 Gold Per Minute (GPM); however, only +2 Gold Difference at 15 minutes (GD@15) – that can be explained with their poor Early Game Rating (54 EGR). Still, PENTA 1860 usually do better in the late game, as evident in their Mid-Late Game Rating (19.3 MLR).

PDW’s metrics show +1818 GPM, +1207 GD@15, 58.9 EGR, and -1.7 MLR. In contrast to PENTA, PDW usually do well in the early game but fall flat in the mid-late game, which could present an interesting stylistic matchup, where both teams will have to improve in the weakest areas of their game.

The LoL betting odds for this match should be much closer to even money. Even though PENTA look stronger on paper, they haven’t produced that many quality wins over the season. PDW are not perfect either and can be hit-or-miss at times, but they’re a team that can cause upsets and are a good bet as an underdog.
