LNG Esports enter their final LPL 2023 Spring regular season match with a 12-3 record, tied with EDward Gaming and JD Gaming, which guarantees them a direct invite into the third round of the playoffs. LGD Gaming, on the other side, are 5-10 and already out of the race for a top-10 finish.

The teams’ regular season record makes it very clear how this match should go, and even though there’s always a slight chance we might see an upset, we wouldn’t expect it to happen on Friday. LNG Esports are one of LPL’s top teams and have suffered only one upset loss this season – against Ninjas in Pyjamas (1-2) – which proves LNG’s efficiency against lesser squads.

As exciting as it is to cheer on the underdogs, LGD have nothing to match LNG. We expect a quick 2-0 for LNG Esports, who shouldn’t give up too much. So we’re taking under 25.5 kills on both maps at $1.83 with GG Bet.

ThunderTalk Gaming will have a mountain to climb this Friday when they face off against Edward Gaming in a match that can earn them a playoff ticket. For EDward Gaming, winning this game represents a chance to claim the regular season title, but it won’t happen unless JD Gaming slip on Saturday.

Despite the fact that there’s a lot more on the line for ThunderTalk Gaming, we’re still talking about a fixture between possibly one of the best teams in the world and ThunderTalk Gaming, who are a mid-tier team at best.

EDward Gaming did lose against FunPlus Phoenix (1-2) last weekend, and they dropped a map against OMG (1-2) two days prior, which suggests that EDG might choke again. But in their defence, EDG let Aurelion Sol slip through the draft, and they were playing against a team with nothing to lose, which is always more complicated.

Regardless of how concerning EDG’s last two showings were, they shouldn’t be losing games like this, nor can they afford to let their foot off the gas ahead of the playoffs. We’re taking EDG to end the season with a 2-0 sweep.

?Based on what we have seen from Ultra Prime this season, this should be an extremely one-sided match. LNG Esports are still in the mix to be the next LoL Pro League champions, while UP have long been out of the LPL 2023 Spring playoff race.

With just three wins to their name and an 8-24 map record, Ultra Prime are not a team you would expect much from. Moreover, in their recent games, it was evident that UP aren’t good enough to stand against any LPL squad, which might be the best way to explain why they’ve lost their last six series without winning a map.

Expect LNG Esports to win this series without facing much resistance, and since we don’t see the games dragging out for too long, under 25.5 kills is the bet we’ll go after.

?Bilibili Gaming went 2-0 last week, which includes a massive victory against the sliding Top Esports (2-0) on Saturday, which secured the Chinese LoL squad a playoff berth. With a 9-5 record, BLG can no longer finish lower than 10th, but they still have a shot at locking in a top-six result.

Invictus Gaming enjoyed an explosive start to the year and looked like legitimate title contenders, but slowed down in Week 5 and have since struggled to perform. Things didn’t improve last week when IG went 0-2 with defeats against LNG Esports (1-2) and the surging Ninjas in Pyjamas (1-2), which pushed them into a tough spot.

This looks like an impossible match for Invictus Gaming, who will struggle to deal with BLG’s ADC Zhao “Elk” Jia-Hao, but it’s not like IG can match BLG across any other positions. Expect a quick 2-0 victory for Bilibili Gaming.

Team WE launched an attack on a playoff spot in Week 8 when they defeated Ultra Prime (2-0), and they’ve since added two more victories against Invictus Gaming (2-0) and LGD Gaming (2-1). On the other side, Weibo Gaming are already guaranteed a spot in the postseason, but they still have a shot at finishing inside the top four.

Last week, Weibo swept Oh My God (2-0) and Ninjas in Pyjamas (2-0), but they didn’t look too convincing in their wins, proving that this is still a coin-flip team.

We don’t expect Team WE to compete for the LPL crown, but they’ve shown that they can play at the level of their opponents, and with momentum on their side, it’s not too crazy to believe that WE can do serious damage on Tuesday.

Team WE, with a map advantage, is a solid pick, but the real value is on the moneyline market.

Top Esports and Oh My God will clash on Tuesday in a crucial match for both sides. Top Esports, in particular, will be looking to bounce back from their four-game losing streak against LNG Esports (0-2), LGD Gaming (0-2), ThunderTalk Gaming (1-2), and Bilibili Gaming (0-2).

OMG are tied with TES in the LPL 2023 Spring regular season standings, with an 8-6 record. Like their next opponents, Oh My God have not been too convincing lately, losing against Weibo Gaming (0-2) and EDward Gaming (1-2).

On paper, this is Top Esports’ game to lose, but their lack of consistency makes it difficult to justify a bet on them. Even though OMG have proven to be just as volatile this season, they have held their own against stronger opponents, which gives us hope that they can show up on Tuesday.

Betting against Top Esports is scary since you never know when this team will go off. But based on their recent displays, it’s easy to imagine this bout going the distance.
