CTBC Flying Oyster are aiming for a perfect LoL Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage run after two impressive victories against Fnatic and T1. Anyone’s Legend have been just as successful, beating LoL Champions Korea (LCK) titans Gen.G Esports and Hanwha Life Esports.

AL’s record is far more impressive, which explains why the best esports betting sites have them as firm favorites. However, these numbers underestimate CFO, who are a group of highly experienced players with strong synergy and an excellent read on the meta.

This should be a very entertaining game between two teams who are very similar, especially in how they like to draft. Individually, Anyone’s Legend hold a slight edge, but CFO’s team fighting is good enough to challenge the Chinese outfit.

At +110, over 2.5 maps looks like a very appealing choice.

KT ROLSTER vs TOP ESPORTS

Best Odds: KT +175 at SportsBetting | TES -250 at BetOnline

Top Esports enter the third day of the LoL Worlds 2025 Swiss Stage with two commanding victories. They crushed G2 Esports on Thursday and added another stomp against 100 Thieves on Friday, with a 24-9 kill score and nearly 20k gold lead.

Seo “Kanavi” Jin-hyeok had a standout performance on Qiyana, highlighting how strong the champion is. Likewise, Ryze is likely to be removed or heavily contested in this series and for the rest of the tournament. This, however, should not affect TES too much due to their deep champion pool.

KT Rolster have done enough to go 2-0, but they’ve had a very lucky draw and still haven’t looked that good. They should’ve arguably lost against Movistar KOI, and their victory against Team Secret Whales holds little weight.

A major concern for KT Rolster is jungler Mun “Cuzz” U-chan, who has not performed well and is likely to struggle against Kanavi. But even in other roles, KT do not hold any advantages. 

There is a very good chance that Top Esports win this one in straight sets.
