by ESB’s free League of Legends betting picks for Thursday, July 14, focus on a pair of LoL Pro League (LPL) 2022 Summer fixtures. Here are our selections for Anyone’s Legend vs ThunderTalk Gaming and Victory Five vs Invictus Gaming, with esports betting odds courtesy of BetOnline.

Anyone’s Legend won their last outing against UltraPrime (2-0) and are now 5-3, which is just as surprising as it may seem. At this point, you might want to start believing that AL are a good team, but the eye test would prove otherwise – they have been winning games but without showing anything.
ThunderTalk Gaming are the complete opposite. They’re playing well and look like a playoff-quality team, but they’ve managed just four wins (4-3), which isn’t bad, but it could be much better. Still, TT are on a roll, winning their last two fixtures against Bilibili Gaming (2-1) and Invictus Gaming (2-1).
Given their success, it would make sense to favour Anyone’s Legend, but the eye test and performance metrics would suggest otherwise. ThunderTalk Gaming shouldn’t be priced as underdogs and are a great value bet at $2.80.

VICTORY FIVE vs INVICTUS GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | V5 -1666.67 at BetOnline | IG +600 at BetOnline |

Victory Five continue to fire on all cylinders, and their commanding victory against EDward Gaming (2-0) on Sunday proved that this might be the current best team in the league.
They’ve yet to drop a game and have given up just two maps across 18 played (16-2), one against the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational champions, Royal Never Give Up.
Invictus Gaming have not been getting many wins (1-7) this season, but they’ve looked good in their losses, taking maps away from Weibo Gaming, EDward Gaming, and TT Gaming. This doesn’t prove that Invictus Gaming should have won more of their matches, but they did show some quality.
Regardless, we don’t expect anything less than a 2-0 sweep for Victory Five, and it’s not too crazy to believe they can cover the 10.5 kill line. This extremely explosive team will run over anyone who lets them – unfortunately, IG have not been very effective in keeping their death count low (15.5 deaths per game – 3rd highest in the league).
