LoL Game Breakdown

Hello again everyone! Freshie here and back with another ESports article but this time for another fan favorite, LoL or League of Legends! Now the betting for this game is actually more simpler for someone who may not know about LoL or even betting that much really. LoL is a computer game that pits two teams of five against each other in a hour or so long battle.

The goal in League of Legends is to knock down your opponents towers and destroying their Nexus. There are different lanes that players play in as different champions. You have top lane, mid lane, bottom lane which has two players in on both teams, one being a support and then you also have a jungler who bounces throughout the map. You merge items and weapons together to make your champion stronger which can give you the upper hand in battles.

While the battle is going on, you can use your team to attack the different elements of a dragon called “Drake” to gain team boosts. There is also a Rift Herald which is the ultimate dragon to take down which gives your team an incredible boost plus the small minions.

The goal of this game is to destroy majority of the towers and mainly the Nexus. In this development league, the two teams do play a best of 5 series. Each league and tournament will be different though and I’ll make sure to clarify before hand.

Now for betting on LoL, it is currently just set to the Money-line, a straight forward bet on who to win. Sometimes they do add in over and under on how many rounds they play. But currently, it is just the ML for now. Now good luck and lets win some green!

LoL – The Weekend Top Bets

King of Future (-160) vs. Joy Dream (+130)

We have a nice match-up here between two decent squads. King of Future are looking to get back in to the win column after a draw and a loss in their previous two matches while Joy Dream’s are looking to do the same after a horrendous past few matches. Joy Dream’s has had 4 losses and 2 draws in their past six matches, needing a comeback right here.

King of Future is sitting at a 50% win rate and Joy Dream is sitting at a lonely 25%. This is a best of 5 series for the development league so if Joy Dream can catch a win early on, they should be able to hold some weight but I don’t think it’ll be enough

Bet to Place: King of Future (-160)

*They have back to back matches but I wouldn’t double up unless you’re majorly confident that KoF can dominate back to back.

Team We Academy (+105) vs. Trumphant Song Gaming (-135)

This is a battle of two teams that don’t know how to win that well or that often. Team We Academy has won just three in their last seven games, holding a win rate of 38%. Coming off of a 2-1 loss right after drawing 0-0. TSM (Trumphant Song Gaming) has a win rate of just 25%, winning just two of their last eight games. They are also coming off of a loss of 2-1 right after drawing 1-1.

Both squads are looking to get back on track in this development league and making some news. This is the time that I’ll be looking to go with the “underdog” of Team We Academy in this best of five series.

Bet to Place: Team We Academy +105
