Cloud9 are 4-0 after four weeks of LCS 2024 Summer, and based on their performance stats, they’re the best team in the league. Cloud9 still have some things to iron out, but even in their current state, C9 do not seem like they can be stopped by any team not named Team Liquid or FlyQuest.
NRG secured their second consecutive victory of the split on Monday when they defeated Shopify Rebellion. Yet despite the win, NRG performed poorly and displayed no improvement from their past showings.
The market has seemingly caught up with NRG not being a great team, yet even $1.61 for Cloud9 to sweep with top esports betting sites is too generous to pass on. The kill handicap line is set at 8.5 which looks fair, so no play there.
Cloud9 -1.5 maps
SHOPIFY REBELLION vs DIGNITAS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | SR +238 at BetOnline | DIG -333.33 at BetOnline |

Shopify Rebellion have been abysmal this split. They have not won a single series nor a map over the four games played; however, they showed some good things against NRG in the previous round.
It was a bizarre series that should have ended in Shopify Rebellion’s favour, yet they threw their advantageous positions too often. This is concerning information, but besides the throws, Shopify Rebellion performed well.
Dignitas did well against Team Liquid, but they got sloppy and lost 1-2. In that game and across the preview fixtures, Dignitas have proven to be resilient with some good qualities, but they’re not very good.
At the current price, Shopify Rebellion are expected to win just 29.6% of the time, which is a bit low, assuming they don’t shoot themselves in the foot again. At $1.75, Shopify Rebellion to take a map is an offer we can’t pass on.
