ESB returns with free League of Legends betting tips for a pair of LoL Championship Series (LCS) 2024 Summer fixtures on Saturday, August 3. Check out our selections for NRG vs Dignitas and 100 Thieves vs Immortals, with esports odds courtesy of top LCS bookmakers in South Korea.


NRG vs DIGNITAS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: NRG $1.70 at GG Bet | DIG $2.10 at GG Bet

NRG have secured two victories this split, and they hardly deserve much more. NRG are one of the worst-performing teams in the league — especially in the early game, with a -1355 gold difference and a -0.5 tower difference at 15 minutes.

Dignitas are 1-4 and on a three-game losing streak, yet they have shown a pulse against stronger opponents. They fumbled against Shopify Rebellion last week and lost 0-2, but the eye test suggests Dignitas are not terrible. Like NRG, they are simply not good.

Despite the difference in win tallies, there are no reasons to believe NRG are stronger than Dignitas. The two LoL esports teams seem very close in quality, so taking Dignitas’ side at plus money makes more sense.

100 THIEVES vs IMMORTALS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: 100T $1.40 at GG Bet | IMT $2.87 at GG Bet
When: August 3, 2024 | 19:30 KST

100 Thieves took a map from FlyQuest last week, which might explain the prices offered by LoL betting sites. But FlyQuest aren’t the most consistent team, so we can take 100 Thieves’ success with a grain of salt.

100 Thieves are one of the more volatile teams in the league, and their total kills average per game (27.8) is a good indication of how they like to play. Immortals, meanwhile, are the least bloody team in LCS 2024 Summer (22.6 average kills), mainly due to their ability to keep games fairly stable in the first 15 minutes.

The quality difference between LCS teams outside the top three is marginal enough not to have such strong favourites for any series. As such, it makes very little sense to give Immortals under 35% implied probability to defeat a squad who are just as bad as them.
