ThunderTalk Gaming finished LPL 2024 Summer Placements with a 1-5 record, but they deserve some slack as they had to face EDward Gaming, FunPlus Phoenix, and JD Gaming. Rare Atom placed third in Group C with a 3-3 record, with a victory against the inconsistent LNG Esports and two against Oh My God.
Neither squad showed anything exceptional last month, so it’s hard to justify Rare Atom as the favourites — especially considering ThunderTalk Gaming will have side choice for this affair.
In the current meta, winning a map from offside as a non-elite team is very difficult. So even though ThunderTalk are an inviting bet at outsider odds, siding with them on their map pick at even money is a much better choice.

JD Gaming won LPL 2024 Summer Placements Group A without suffering a single loss, whereas Weibo Gaming placed third in Group D with a disappointing 3-5 record.
Numbers-wise, Weibo performed well, but they consistently collapse once the laning phase ends. For the amount of individual talent on this roster, Weibo Gaming should’ve done better — and they eventually will, but it remains to be seen when.
Weibo Gaming closed as $3.25 underdogs with the best esports betting sites in their last meeting with JD Gaming in the LPL 2024 Spring Playoffs. They’re almost double that, so even considering Weibo’s lacklustre showings the previous month, their current price is too generous.
