THUNDERTALK GAMING vs TOP ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Odds: ThunderTalk +432 at BetOnline | TES -714.29 at BetOnline

Top Esports have yet to find their footing this season, and their situation doesn’t seem like it’s improving. With a 2-4 record, TES are in a tough spot, and the biggest takeaway from their games is that the team’s members are not entirely on the same page. Still, this is individually a very stacked roster, so you have to feel hopeful TES can find some traction with time.

ThunderTalk Gaming enter the fifth week of LPL 2022 Spring with a 1-6 record, with their only win coming against Anyone’s Legend last month. Despite their poor record, TT Gaming seem more efficient as a unit than TES, although they lack the individual talent to achieve anything remarkable.

TES are stronger and should win, but they tend to shoot themselves in the foot and drop maps. A small bet on TT Gaming with a map advantage is the way to go.

ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP vs VICTORY FIVE LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Odds: RNG -188.68 at BetOnline | V5 +143 at BetOnline

Royal Never Give Up have lost only one game this season, and even that defeat came in the opening round against FunPlus Phoenix (1-2). Similarly, Victory Five are 5-1, with one defeat against Weibo Gaming at the end of January.

Form-wise, there isn’t a lot to separate these two squads, and we would argue that they match up well individually. Still, V5 looked terrible on Sunday when they played a three-map series against Invictus Gaming (2-1), which explains why the esports betting sites have them as +143 underdogs.

This is a spot where you could consider betting on V5, who aren’t as bad as their last performance would suggest. But we’ll take a safer bet and predict over 2.5 maps at +103. RNG should win, but Victory Five are solid enough to put up a fight.
