Saturday, Oct. 12
SK Telecom vs Fnatic
SK Telecom heads into their battle with Fnatic off 5 straight victories. The South Korean squad looks every bit as good as Fnatic has looked. Fnatic plays in the supposedly deeper European League, though. Will that lead to a win over SK Telecom? Nope. SK T all the way!
eSports Betting Pick: SK Telecom
Invictus vs ahq e-Sports Club
Invictus won their last couple of matches against JD Gaming and Top Esports. Overall, they’ve gone 4-1 SU in their last 5. ahq battled in the Lol Masters Series Taiwan. Although they’re a decent eSports squad, Invictus should beat them on Saturday.
eSports Betting Pick: Invictus
FunPlus Phoenix vs J Team
FunPlus has been on a massive roll. They’ve gone 9-1 SU in their last 10 matches. The only loss happened against Invictus way back on July 21. J Team is 2-0 in their last 2. They shouldn’t stand much of a shot versus such a hot squad like FunPlus. FPP gets the nod.
eSports Betting Pick: FunPlus Phoenix
Sunday, Oct. 13
SK Telecom vs Royal Never Give Up
On Sunday, SK Telecom takes on Royal Never Give Up. We know how well SK has played. Royal hasn’t played awful, though. They beat Top Esports and LNG Esports in 2 out of their last 3. However, they lost 1-3 to Fun Plus in their last. SK notches another win.
eSports Betting Pick: SK Telecom
Invictus vs Team Liquid
Invictus versus Liquid should be a top match on Sunday. Liquid has won 4 in a row. They’re the top seed in Group D. Although Invictus will fight hard, Team Liquid should get the victory. They’re the better overall team and battled in the deep League of Legends North American League over the summer.
eSports Betting Pick: Team Liquid
Griffin vs G2
Griffin enters the World Championships the 3-seed in Group A. G2 is the second seed while Cloud9, another North American power house squad, is the first seed. A South Korean outfit, Griffin might be undervalued here. G2 has won 3 in a row while Griffin lost 1-3 to SK Telecom in their last. Griffin gets the nod with the expectation they offer better than fair odds.
eSports Betting Pick: Griffin
