Suning will meet with ThunderTalk Gaming in their final fixture of the summer season. The reigning LoL World Championship finalists enter this bout following a 1-2 loss to Rare Atom on Monday, marking their second defeat in their last four.
This match is tricky to predict since both teams already know where they’ll end the season. No matter how the game ends, TT Gaming will finish LPL 2021 Summer inside the bottom four, whereas Suning are already locked in for the playoffs.
Since neither team has any incentive to win, Suning and TT Gaming will likely play a bit looser, which makes a +1.5 map handicap bet on the outsider a great choice at +168 with BetOnline.

Victory Five are rank outsiders for this clash, and it might be tempting to back them with a +1.5 map handicap, but this is not a bet we would recommend. There is nothing about V5 that would make you believe that they can upset the 2019 LoL world champions, especially considering that this is a must-win match for FunPlus Phoenix.
FPX are still in the race for the LPL 2021 Summer regular-season title with EDward Gaming, who they will meet in their final match before the playoffs. That clash will likely decide who will claim the crown, assuming EDG and FPX win their upcoming bouts.
While there is no value in backing the outsiders in the main markets, you should consider a bet on V5 to secure first blood. They have a 57% First Blood Rate (FB) on the season, while FPX’s is at only 38%.
