EDWARD GAMING vs ANYONE’S LEGEND LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Best Odds: | EDG -277.78 at BetOnline | AL +200 at BetOnline |

Anyone’s Legend enter this match on a four-game losing streak, with defeats against FunPlus Phoenix (1-2), OMG (0-2), Royal Never Give Up (0-2), and JD Gaming (0-2). This puts them in a tricky situation since Anyone’s Legend still need to win one more match to guarantee a playoff berth, but they have to face the reigning world champions EDward Gaming and Top Esports, who have not lost a game since the opening week.
As weird as it may sound, this is Anyone’s Legend’s best chance to add another win to their name, but that won’t come easy. EDward Gaming field a significantly stronger roster and are in good form, having won their last three outings, while their only defeats since Week 6 came against Top Esports (1-2) and Royal Never Give Up (1-2).
There is very little to suggest Anyone’s Legend can upset EDward Gaming, but the underdogs have been pretty good on the blue side, which might be enough for AL to steal a map against a team that has nothing more to play for.

INVICTUS GAMING vs OMG LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | IG +162 at BetOnline | OMG -227.27 at BetOnline |

Royal Never Give Up defeated Invictus Gaming (2-1) on Saturday, eliminating the 2019 LoL world champions from the playoffs race, which is quite unfortunate. Although Invictus Gaming have not achieved much this season (4-10), they have been playing much better than their record suggests, especially across the last three weeks (3-2).
OMG are 7-8, so they need one more win to lock in a top-10 finish, and this will be their final chance to do it. Lin “Creme” Jian and co. had an opportunity to secure their eighth W last week, but they lost against Bilibili Gaming with another shaky performance.
As the latest LoL betting odds suggest, this is OMG’s game to lose. Barring any surprises, they should come out ahead. But the reality is that OMG’s level of play has been dropping for weeks, and they’re a fragile red-side team, which is concerning knowing that IG have side selection.
Invictus Gaming might not have anything to play for, but they’re a solid bet at +162 to win and spoil OMG’s playoff dreams.
