?Burst The Sky Esports will clash with Team Secret for the first time since late February when Secret won 2-1. That match was relatively close, but it’s hard to be overly optimistic about BTS when they are 3-9 in the VCS and riding a three-game losing streak.

Burst The Sky’s only three wins of the season came against SBTC Esports (2-1), GMedia Luxury (2-1) and Saigon Buffalo (2-1), which are nothing to write home about. Team Secret, on the other side, haven’t really lost any games against lower-table teams, but they have dropped maps against the likes of SBTC Esports and Team Flash.

Team Secret should win this match simply because they’re the better team overall. That said, BTS have looked good enough of late for us to believe they can keep the series close.

?GAM Esports enter this match with a near-perfect 11-1 record and 22-5 map differential, which more or less guarantees them the VCS Spring regular-season title. However, that doesn’t mean they should be priced as -416.67 favourites against CERBERUS, even though GAM won their last head-to-head fixture in February with a 2-1 scoreline.

GAM might be the strongest team in the region, but CERBERUS are not that far behind, despite their inconsistencies. CERBERUS enter this match with a 9-3 record while riding a five-game winning streak that includes four clean sweeps of GMedial Luxury, Saigon Buffalo, BTS and Team Secret.

The latest LoL betting odds suggest GAM should win this match 80.5% of the time. While they are without a doubt the best team in the region, this match seems more like a 65/35 scenario rather than 80/20, meaning CERBERUS shouldn’t be priced much higher than +190. Some may consider a smaller bet on the outsiders, but we are satisfied with the map handicap odds.

GAM ESPORTS vs EVOS ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

GAM ESPORTS vs EVOS ESPORTS VCS SUMMER BETTING PREVIEW

GAM Esports are scheduled to lock horns with EVOS Esports this Saturday in their opening fixture of the 2020 Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) Summer Split.

GAM finished the VCS Spring regular season at the top of the leaderboard with a near-perfect 13-1 record and equally impressive 27-5 game differential. Despite their dominant performance through the regular season, Tr?n “Kiaya” Duy Sang and his crew couldn’t finish the job and went down 2-3 to Team Flash in the grand finals.

During the off-season, GAM made a couple of roster changes. They parted ways with support Nguy?n “Palette” H?i Trung and ADC ?? “Blazes” ?ình Sang, replacing them with ADC Hu?nh “Jisoo” H?u Sang and mid laner Tr?n “Genza” H?ng Phúc.

GAM also decided to freshen up their coaching personnel. Last week they acquired ex-V Gaming Adonis support Nguy?n “Scary” H?i Hà as the team’s analyst and brought in former Percent Esports coach Phan “JackieWind” Huy Phong as a replacement for Hu?nh “Yuna” V?n Tan, who left for Saigon Buffalo in May.

GAM recently played at the Pulsefire Cup, where they made it through the group stage without any issues. Although they lost their bout with Saigon Buffalo, GAM picked up two easy wins against Team Secret and Percent Esports to book a spot in the final four. In the playoffs, GAM got their revenge against Team Flash (2-0) and made easy work of Saigon Buffalo (3-1) in the grand finals to claim the trophy and ?100,000,000 (US $4,300) in prize money.

However, things turned sour for GAM at the Mid-Season Showdown, where they lost against two Pacific Championship Series (PCS) teams in Talon Esports and Machi Esports. GAM finished the tournament with a 1-5 map record, which they earned with a 1-1 draw against Team Flash and 0-2 losses against Machi and the eventual champions, Talon.

EVOS Esports enter the second split of the season after a fairly solid showing in the VCS Spring Split. They finished the regular season in fourth placed and climbed into third in the post-season, which was an improvement on their fifth-place finish in the VCS 2019 Summer Split.

EVOS made two roster changes in May, when they signed ex-GAM top laner Ph?m “Zeros” Minh L?c and parted ways with mid laner Ph?m “Coyote” Qu?c Bình. It remains to be seen whether EVOS will field Zeros in this match since he played only eight games with GAM last split, but he produced far better showings than his new teammates Nguy?n “But1” Lê Tu?n Anh and Tr?n “TH” Lê Trung H?u, so it’s likely we will see a bit more from him in the upcoming months.

EVOS also participated at Pulsefire Cup 2020, but they saw less success than GAM. They finished the group stage second with a 1-2 record but fell flat against Saigon Buffalo (0-2) in the semi-finals, thus winding up in third-fourth place.

GAM ESPORTS vs EVOS ESPORTS VCS SUMMER BETTING PREDICTIONS

The most recent bout between these two sides took place at the start of March, when we saw GAM Esports come away with a convincing 2-0 win. Both maps were very one-sided, although the EVOS top laners had very little impact. Additionally, in game two, Zeros almost singlehandedly carried GAM to victory on Aatrox, so it’s fair to say EVOS will be better prepared this weekend if they decide to field Zeros.

Although EVOS lost twice to GAM last split, they’re not a bad team. Mid laner Hu?nh “Pake” Thanh Hoàng, ADC V? “Divkid” Thanh Tùng and jungler Nguy?n “Sorn” Minh Hào are some of the best in the VCS in their respective roles and if Zeros can find his old form from 2019, EVOS will become legitimate VCS Summer title contenders.

Both teams tend to start strong in a new split, so we can expect a close bout with all three maps played. A few bucks on EVOS as outsiders might also be worth considering.

GAM ESPORTS vs TEAM SECRET LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

GAM ESPORTS vs TEAM SECRET VCS SPRING SPLIT BETTING PREVIEW

Team Secret will look to avenge their loss in Week 3 when they clash with League of Legends Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) frontrunners GAM Esports this Saturday.

Team Secret enter Week 8 of the VCS Spring Split with a 6-4 record and third place in the standings, which is quite an impressive feat for the ex-Lowkey Esports squad. Their placement guarantees them a spot in the next stage of the split, but their road to the summit is far from over.

So far this season, Secret have defeated FTV Esports (twice), CERBERUS Esports, EVOS Esports, V Gaming Adonis and Team Flash but failed to see the same success in their meetings with Dashing Buffalo (twice), GAM Esports, and in the reverse fixture against CERBERUS last week.

The rematch with CERBERUS was close throughout. Although Secret completely outplayed their adversaries in game one, Nguy?n “Hani” Tu?n Phát dropped the ball in the subsequent two games and allowed CERBERUS to pocket a much-needed 2-0 win to keep themselves in the race for a top-four finish.

GAM Esports enter Week 8 as undisputed league leaders, having won all but one of their 11 games played. Their supremacy in the league should not come as a shock to anyone, seeing how they dominated the 2019 VCS Summer Split with an 11-3 record in the regular season and a perfect run through the playoffs.

The reason behind GAM’s regional dominance over the last year is quite obvious: they have star players in every position. While it is hard to single out one player in such a strong team, it would be fair to say ?? “Levi” Duy Khánh has done the most to help GAM secure top spot in the league standings this split.

Levi’s deep champion pool and great understanding of the game make him one of the best junglers in the VCS, as there are only a few other junglers who can play at the same pace. GAM can also count on their mid laner Lê “Dia1” Phú Quy, who is ranked among the top players the league with a 6.96 KDA, 8.64 CSPM and 67.7% KPAR.

GAM ESPORTS vs TEAM SECRET VCS SPRING SPLIT BETTING PREDICTIONS

It is hard to find a solid reason to side with Team Secret over GAM for this match. Not only have the league leaders proven they are a level above all other VCS teams, they have already secured a 2-0 win over Secret this split.

It’s worth noting that this match holds no importance for GAM in terms of their playoff ambitions. Some might say that could cause them to take this match lightly, but we would not count on that factor having too much of an impact on their performance.

The fact of the matter is that Secret struggled with their showings against Dashing Buffalos in Week 6 and CERBERUS in Week 7, which is not something that inspires much optimism as they get ready to face the VCS’s top dogs.

GAM have shown better form in recent weeks and should have no issues securing a clean sweep. Since BetOnline has the -1.5 map handicap priced at -104.17, don’t think twice before siding with Levi and his crew to secure their ninth perfect win of the split.

DASHING BUFFALO VS FTV ESPORTS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

DASHING BUFFALO VS FTV ESPORTS VCS SPRING SPLIT BETTING PREVIEW

FTV Esports are set to lock horns with two-time national champions Dashing Buffalo in Week 7 of the League of Legends Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) Spring Split, where Hu?nh “Police” Thi?c Tu?n and co. will look to claim their second win of the season.

Following a disastrous 2019 season, FTV Esports found themselves on the back foot again as they suffered four clean sweeps against Lowkey Esports (now Team Secret), Team Flash, Dashing Buffalo and CERBERUS Esports in the opening three weeks of the split.

Although they saw some progress in the following three weeks when they pushed EVOS Esports, GAM Esports and Team Flash to a three-map series and claimed their first win of the season against V Gaming Adonis, FTV as a whole have left a lot to be desired.

Poor results are nothing surprising for this side, seeing how FTV finished last season in seventh place with a 3-11 record. What is surprising, however, is that FTV failed to acquire any notable upgrades during the offseason.

Besides the signing of former CERBERUS Esports’ jungler V?n “Potm” H?u B?o, the team made no roster changes up until earlier this month when they acquired ex-Cherry Esports support H? “Akeno” Trung H?u and rookie mid laner Bùi “Froggy” H?i Minh.

Potm has struggled thus far with his 5.12 CSPM, 0.95 KDA and 51.3% KPAR, while Akeno has seen even less success with 0.63 KDA, 41.7% KPAR and 223 GPM. On a more positive note, Froggy has looked solid with 2.78 KDA, 190.33 CSPM, 370 GPM and 69.4% KPAR in three games played.

Potm and Akeno have already been benched, meaning FVT are currently fielding the same roster they did last season except for Froggy in the mid lane and Tr?n “1Ground” D?n in the bottom lane instead of Tr?n “Bie” ??c Hi?u, who left for EVOS in December.

Dashing Buffalo enter their 10th fixture of the season with a 4-5 record next to their name, which put them fourth in the league standings alongside CERBERUS Esports and EVOS Esports.

So far this split, ??ng “Bigkoro” Ng?c Tài and his squad have defeated FTV and Team Secret (twice), lost to Team Flash, CERBERUS Esports, EVOS Esports, GAM Esports, and split their two meetings with V Gaming Adonis.

While a 4-5 record is a solid outcome on paper, most of Buffalo’s wins have come against the weaker teams. A 2-0 record against Team Secret is promising, but the same can’t be said for their 1-1 tally against V Gaming Adonis and 0-1 against EVOS and CERBERUS Esports.

DASHING BUFFALO VS FTV ESPORTS VCS SPRING SPLIT BETTING PREDICTIONS

Dashing Buffalo are priced as favourites to win this Saturday, but backing FTV Esports on a +1.5 map handicap might be a better option at the odds offered.

In their first meeting, Buffalo crushed FTV in just under 30 minutes. However, it’s worth noting that Nguy?n “Victory” Qu?c Th?ng’s poor performance in the mid lane played a huge factor in that loss. His questionable engages and poor laning allowed Nguy?n “DK” ??ng Khoa to get ahead on Rumble and use his advantage to decimate FTV in the teamfights by dropping down The Equalizer, which worked well in combination with Jarvan’s Cataclysm.

For this game, Victory will be benched and replaced by Froggy, who has had a couple of solid showings in his three games played. Froggy also has a diverse and deep champion pool that should allow him to nullify Buffalo’s win condition, or at least slow down DK enough for FTV to stand a chance.

Although it’s hard to expect FTV to win this weekend, Buffalo’s overly aggressive playstyle should help FTV chip at least one map.
