LPL 2025 Split 2 Week 5 betting predictions – Thursday, May 1

FunPlus Phoenix take on Top Esports in the fifth week of League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2025 Split 2 this Thursday, ahead of another lopsided fixture as Anyone’s Legend clash with Invictus Gaming. Check out our LoL betting picks for the day, with esports odds courtesy of top betting sites in United States.

FunPlus Phoenix picked up an important victory over Bilibili Gaming on Monday despite throwing away big leads in maps one and three. It was a bizarre series and more an indication of Bilibili’s struggles than FPX’s quality.

This match will be a much tougher test for Yang “Care” Jie and co. as they take on Group Ascend leaders Top Esports, who are on a five-game winning streak. TES have been the best-performing team in the LPL since the start of the second split, with incredible early-game metrics (+1151 gold difference at 15 minutes) and strong macro.

At these numbers, it is fair to consider putting something on FunPlus Phoenix, especially after their victory against Bilibili Gaming. That said, Top Esports are an entirely different beast and should have no issue closing this one out.

  BEST ODDS ON LOL ESPORTS

The best LoL betting sites have Anyone’s Legend priced as -227.27 favourites to take down Invictus Gaming, who have looked very unpredictable this season.

Even though Invictus Gaming have proved they can fold against anyone, they’ve also produced outstanding maps. This makes it unwise to underestimate them, but at these numbers, siding with the more consistent team makes more sense.

Anyone’s Legend might be a bit overrated, as they’ve had a fairly soft schedule over the last two weeks, but their stomping of Ninjas in Pyjamas on Sunday is a good indication of just how strong they are.
