TEAM WE vs WEIBO GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: WE +137 at Stake.com | WBG -188.68 at BetOnline

Team WE have picked up a few wins throughout the stage, but their performance numbers are not great, and they’ve been consistently outclassed by top-tier teams. On the other hand, WE have proved resilient against most other mid-table teams and bested Weibo Gaming 2-1 at the end of April.

Weibo have had their moments over the last month, but they’ve been unreliable against both stronger and weaker opponents. They defeated FunPlus Phoenix on Monday, when WBG showed they can force their own game rather than follow FPX into a brawl-style clash, but that was their first win after a six-game losing streak.

Top LoL betting sites have Weibo Gaming priced as favourites; however, they’ve been too inconsistent to warrant this number. Over 2.5 maps at even money is a solid offer.

NINJAS IN PYJAMAS vs THUNDERTALK GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: NiP -357.14 at BetOnline | TT +250 at Stake.com
When: May 22, 2025 | 19:00 CST

Ninjas in Pyjamas got smashed by JD Gaming on Monday, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. In their defence, NiP’s schedule has not been very forgiving, and they have found some success, taking maps off top teams.

ThunderTalk Gaming have managed just three wins this split, but their performances have picked up of late. TT defeated Weibo Gaming and took a map off Top Esports, which inspires some confidence, but it does not change the fact that most of the time they look like one of the worst teams in Group Ascend.

Both teams have showed signs of life in recent weeks, but neither have consistently won games or put themselves in advantageous positions. So even though NiP should be winning games like this purely on the quality of their players, they should not be -357.14 favourites against any upper-conference team.
