CTBC Flying Oyster are the most dominant team hailing from League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP), which might not mean much considering how weak the league as a whole is. However, the top LCP squads, namely TALON, CFO, and MGN Vikings Esports, can be regarded as equal to the mid-upper squads from Europe and the Americas.
Statistically, CTBC Flying Oyster are a much better team than Karmine Corp, although those figures are a bit skewed due to how weak LCP is. However, there is also the international experience to consider, as CFO have several players who previously competed on the global stage, including Mid-Season Invitational 2021 semi-finalist Chiu “Doggo” Tzu-Chuan.
While it is fair to argue that Karmine Corp are more prepared, having to fight through a tougher league, that’s no reason for the top LoL betting sites to have them priced as $1.22 favourites.
CTBC Flying Oyster can win this game and are an excellent outsider bet.

TEAM LIQUID vs TOP ESPORTS LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

---|---|
Best Odds: | Liquid $8.50 at Betway | TES $1.05 at BetOnline |

Team Liquid have done well domestically, but they should be no match for Top Esports, who are one of the leading candidates to win the first international event of the LoL esports season. While Liquid have some experience competing internationally, lane-by-lane, it is hard to find any meaningful advantage for the League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA) champions.
Top Esports dominated the LoL Pro League (LPL) 2025 Split 1 and are significantly better than Team Liquid, especially in the mid lane and jungle, where the matchup should favour Lin “Creme” Jian and Seo “Kanavi” Jin-hyeok.
At LoL Worlds 2024, Team Liquid proved they could not compete with Asian teams, and with no roster moves, nothing should change. Moreover, the current meta, which favours a stronger early game, benefits Top Esports more than Liquid, adding one more reason why backing the Chinese champions to dominate makes sense.
