Weibo Gaming will face off against ThunderTalk Gaming on Tuesday, May 27, in the penultimate match of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2025 Split 2 Play-In stage.
This will be a rematch from Week 6 of the LPL 2025 Split 2 Rumble Stage when ThunderTalk reverse-swept Weibo Gaming.
However, despite their success last time out, TT Gaming are priced as +333 underdogs with the best LoL betting sites. At this number, they’re given a 23.1% implied probability of advancing to the knockout stage.
While TT Gaming’s victory against Weibo Gaming two weeks ago can be viewed as a fluke, it was also a great indication of how inconsistent WBG can be.
They ended the Rumble Stage with a 7-11 record, which is far below what this lineup is capable of. But there is an easy explanation for their shaky results – Weibo live and die on whether Li “Xiaohu” Yuanhao has a good game or not.
When the mid laner is in form, Weibo Gaming can defeat anyone. On the days he is not playing well, WBG are mediocre at best. The problem is that Xiaohu has not had many good days this split.
ThunderTalk Gaming haven’t had the best run in the second half of the split either. But there were some good moments – including a 1-2 loss to Top Esports and a 2-0 sweep of Ninjas in Pyjamas to close out the group stage.
Most of their success came from games where ThunderTalk Gaming had an explosive early game, which they used to snowball to impressive victories. The losses, on the other hand, were mostly stompings, proving that TT Gaming are very up-and-down.
Weibo Gaming should be winning games like this, but their lack of consistency is concerning. It does not help that WBG have lost seven of their last eight fixtures – including games against FunPlus Phoenix, Team WE, TT Gaming, and Ninjas in Pyjamas.
Despite their high ceiling, Weibo should not be -500 favourites against any upper-conference LoL esports team.
ThunderTalk Gaming to keep it close at +150 is hard to pass on.
Prediction: ThunderTalk Gaming +1.5 maps – +150 at Bovada
