AGO ROGUE are priced as underdogs for their match with Vitality.Bee, which isn’t that shocking considering the French league is considered to be stronger than Ultraliga. But as previous EU Masters have taught us, the top teams from the two regional leagues are not that far apart talent-wise.
Comparing AGO and Vitality and their performance figures, the Polish side finished the regular season with a 21-3 record, while Vitality.Bee could only manage a 16-10 record. Moreover, AGO ROGUE were significantly more efficient in gaining early gold leads (+3092 GD@15) compared to Vitality.Bee (+932 GD@15).
Interestingly, the two teams are very close in the Early-Game Rating (EGR), with AGO ROGUE holding only a slight edge (67.9 v 62.2), but they are less efficient at the back end with a 32.1 Mid-Late Game Rating (MLR) to Vitality.Bee’s 37.8.
Vitality.Bee like to play a scaling game, whereas AGO ROGUE are the complete opposite, which should produce an exciting affair on Thursday. But considering the current meta favours scaling teams, we would prefer to be on the side of the French squad for this bout.

LDLC vs ATLETA ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Best Odds: | LDLC -1000 at BetOnline | Atleta +550 at BetOnline |

LDLC are the reigning French champions and the current favourites to win EU Masters 2022 Spring. However, we’re not all that excited about LDLC and would argue that this is a very beatable team that might crash out of the competition early.
In all of their wins this season, LDLC have averaged a +174 Gold Differential at 15 Minutes (GD@15), 49.2 Early-Game Rating (EGR), and a 50.8 Mid-Late Game Rating (MLR), which are very poor figures. These numbers strongly suggest that LDLC’s domestic success was a complete fluke.
That is not to say that Atleta Esports are stronger than LDLC, but they’re not as weak as the latest LoL betting odds suggest, making them an excellent value bet. This is not a wager on Atleta Esports to win, but rather a bet on LDLC to lose.
They are technically France’s strongest team, but LDLC are not a team you would count on to consistently win games. A kill handicap bet on Atleta Esports is a good option since LDLC average only 17.78 kills per win, but we’re all in on the outsiders to upset the French champions.
