TEAM WE vs THUNDERTALK GAMING

Team WE and ThunderTalk Gaming faced off on the first day of LPL Split 1 Week 2, when Team WE won in two maps. While the result suggests WE stomped, ThunderTalk could’ve easily taken at least one map.

Team WE have been struggling with their early game this season and rank as one of the worst pre-20-minute teams in LPL. TT Gaming took full advantage of that on the first map and accumulated a massive lead, only to throw it away in one of the biggest chokes of the year.

Since then, Team WE have lost to Ninjas in Pyjamas, but they got their revenge on Sunday, beating NIP 2-1. ThunderTalk Gaming, on the other side, have lost to EDward Gaming twice, winning one map in the most recent outing.

  The bookies' bookie

Team WE appear more stable, and they typically do well in the mid-late game. However, their early game is a massive issue, and if TT Gaming can take advantage of that again and avoid slipping, the underdogs should be in a fine spot to steal at least one map.

Priced at +125 to win a map on the top LoL bookmakers, ThunderTalk Gaming are worth a bet.

BILIBILI GAMING vs JD GAMING

Bilibili Gaming and JD Gaming clashed on Friday, when JD Gaming walked away with a 2-0 sweep. The final result, however, does not paint the full picture.

Bilibili Gaming were in full control of both maps but got caught off guard in the late game twice. It was an uncharacteristically poor performance from Bilibili Gaming, who arguably should’ve won. And the market seems to agree, pricing the defending champions as -200 favorites to get their revenge.

JD Gaming have not been playing poorly this season. However, they have been very up-and-down, producing a mix of bad and promising performances. So while JD Gaming might have the tools to defeat BLG again, they’re not to be trusted to deliver, especially against a team who should’ve beaten them not even a week ago.
