League of Legends Rift Rivals NAxEU
100 Thieves +168 vs FNatic -213
A top squad from the North American League battles a top team from the European League. 100 Thieves lost to Clutch Gaming about 2 weeks ago. FNatic lost 0:1 two months ago to both Team Liquid, one of the highest ranked North American League of Legends squad, and Indonesian eSports squad EVOS. FNatic’s losses are more impressive because Clutch Gaming is 3 and 3 in the North American League. FNatic has an earlier match versus Team Liquid. They can get their feet wet before taking down 100 Thieves. That must be the thought process. I’m going the other way. The odds on 100 Thieves are too overlaid to pass up. eSports Betting Pick: 100 ThievesTeam Liquid -113 vs G2 eSports -117
79% of GoSuGamers believes that G2 eSports beats Team Liquid on Friday. It’s difficult to go against such a huge percentage. When these two faced each other at the DreamHack Open 2017, G2 eSports beat Team Liquid 1 to 0. That was in CS:Go. This is League of Legends. Team Liquid is good enough to upset one of the better European League Teams. But, here’s the thing, G2 eSports might be the best squad in the European League of Legends League. The odds aren’t high enough on Team Liquid to garner a wager. eSports Betting Pick: G2 eSports100 Thieves -116 vs Splyce -104
100 Thieves vs Splyce should be one of the most competitive matches of the day. Because Splyce offers slightly better odds, they’re the team to back. Sure, 100 Thieves can beat them. But, the differences between the two squads are slight enough for bettors to back Splyce. eSports Betting Pick: SplyceGlobal StarCraft 2 League
