Invictus Gaming were eliminated from the LPL Summer playoff race on Monday when Ninjas in Pyjamas defeated Rare Atom. Their next opponents, Weibo Gaming, are guaranteed a top-10 finish and now only play for the seeding.
Weibo won’t end the season inside the top four, but they still need to win a couple more games to be guaranteed top six. So unlike Invictus, WBG have something to fight for.
This might sound like a good reason to back Weibo Gaming. Still, the LPL is notorious for unpredictable results once the playoff teams are decided, and this is already an inconsistent team.
It would be typical of Weibo Gaming to lose this match, so a small bet on Invictus Gaming to win at +550 isn’t a bad choice. However, knowing how much more this match matters to WBG, a handicap bet on the outsiders is the smarter play.

Oh My God and EDward Gaming will clash in a match that could decide which of the two teams will finish the season inside the top six and receive direct passage to the second round of the playoffs.
EDward Gaming enter this match on a two-game winning streak, with two shaky victories against FunPlus Phoenix (2-1) and LGD Gaming (2-0), while Oh My God are on a two-game slide with defeats against Top Esports (1-2) and ThunderTalk Gaming (0-2).
Oh My God haven’t shown their best lately, but over the entire split they’ve looked much more stable than EDward Gaming. This explains why OMG are priced as the favourites, but the odds are not great.
This is a match between two teams that can’t be trusted, so even though OMG are the most likely victors, the overs on the map line makes the most sense.
