100 Thieves are 2-0 in the regular season head-to-head against Team Liquid, suggesting that 100 Thieves are the better team. But best-of-one wins don’t mean much as they offer a tiny sample, and the high variance involved in single games can’t paint a clear picture.
Team Liquid and 100 Thieves are undeniably two of the top four teams in the LCS, and talent-wise, you can’t make a strong case for one over the other. 100 Thieves might have slightly better performance figures, but Team Liquid have experience and versatility, which can get them far in the knockout stage. So the question is, what holds more weight?
Still, even if we were to try to figure out which of the two LoL esports teams has a better chance of winning, the offered LoL betting odds offer no value on the moneyline. Rather, we’re interested in the total kills betting market.
Admittedly Liquid and 100 Thieves don’t give up too many deaths (9.3, 8.1) in their games, but both like to fight and have been regularly involved in high-scoring games. In our book, the kill line is set a bit too low for this match, which might have to do with the market’s overreaction to the recent patch, which is pretty fruitless unless we see the return of mid lane Tristana or top lane Malphite.
Take over 23.5 kills for all three maps.
