These sides last meet three weeks ago, when Team Liquid won with 16-11 in kills and a 10k gold lead. TL have since played six games and won only half of them, although we have to take into account TL’s losses came against TSM, Evil Geniuses and 100 Thieves.
Despite those slip-ups, Liquid remain one of the strongest teams in the league and they shouldn’t struggle too much against FlyQuest. That said, we like the underdogs with a 8.5 kill handicap.
Liquid are definitely stronger, but they rarely win with massive kill leads so it’s hard to imagine they can cover such a high handicap against an organised team such as FlyQuest.
FlyQuest +8.5 kill

Last week, we bet against Evil Geniuses in their clash with TSM and we have a good reason to fade EG again, even though they enter this match off two solid wins against Team Liquid and Counter Logic Gaming. The main issue with EG remains their volatility, which will earn them a few upset wins here and there, but those wins won’t come consistently.
Unlike EG, Cloud9 are not only one of the most consistent, but also the best-performing team in the region. That’s not to say C9 are without any flaws, but they are the strongest LCS team heading into Week 4 fixtures.
We expect C9 will win, but at the provided LoL betting odds, it makes much more sense to bet on over 27.5 kills. C9 are known for their aggression – especially when they’re behind – whereas EG are a high-kill team in general.
Over 27.5 kills
DIGNITAS vs 100 THIEVES LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | DIG +172 at BetOnline | 100T -238.1 at BetOnline |

Dignitas are playing very good LoL of late and deservingly hold a 6-3 record after three weeks of play. Still, we believe DIG are overachieving a bit and should come down to Earth sooner or later, largely because they have some major, easily exploitable flaws.
Much of Dignitas’ strength comes from their solid late-game but on the flip side, they’re the worst early-game team in the LCS. That could be a problem when faced with one of the most stacked rosters in the league that is also very effective in the early game.
If 100 Thieves can get ahead early, they should roll over DIG with ease and even if the game ends up lasting for 30+ minutes, it’s not like 100T have any issues with their mid-late game. Individual quality of 100T will be the difference maker on Saturday.
100 Thieves -5.5 kills
GOLDEN GUARDIANS vs IMMORTALS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | GG +133 at BetOnline | IMT -178.57 at BetOnline |

Immortals should arguably be a bigger moneyline favourite than $1.56 with the boomakers, and that’s not necessarily because they’re very good, but rather because Golden Guardians are playing poorly. While backing IMT to win is still a good bet, there is a better way to approach this bout.
If we assume IMT will win, we have to note GG on average die 16 times in their losses, whereas IMT average 18 kills in their wins. With those numbers it’s you can’t ignore a bet on Immortals to secure at least 13 kills.
Immortals and Golden Guardians also like to play long games (30+ minutes), which essentially means there should be plenty of kills on both sides, regardless of the outcome.
