GOLDEN GUARDIANS vs IMMORTALS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: GG -277.78 at BetOnline | IMT +200 at BetOnline
When: June 22, 2023 | 15:00 PDT

Golden Guardians started LCS 2023 Summer regular season with two defeats against Cloud9 and Evil Geniuses but bounced back with a win against FlyQuest on Friday. It was a much-needed victory for the LCS 2023 Spring finalists, but it was mostly thanks to FlyQuest’s throwing away their lead.

Their next opponents, Immortals, are 2-1 ahead of the second week of the regular season with wins against Dignitas and NRG Esports and a loss against Team Liquid. That’s a decent outcome for Immortals’ standards, but there’s more to consider than just the team’s record.

Immortals’ performance numbers, including all kill and gold-related metrics, aren’t great. That proves what we already saw last week – Immortals have not produced any quality wins, which explains why they’re priced as underdogs for this match.

On paper, Golden Guardians look stronger than Immortals, but they’ve not shown much in the opening week of the split. So even though Golden Guardians should win, backing Immortals on a kill handicap is a much better play.

Immortals +7.5 kills

DIGNITAS vs TEAM LIQUID LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: DIG +225 at BetOnline | TL -303.03 at BetOnline

Dignitas secured one win last week against Evil Geniuses but looked lost against Immortals and Cloud9. And even their win against Evil Geniuses was nothing more than Dignitas taking their chances and Evil Geniuses giving away too much on the Summoner’s Rift.

Based on what we saw in the first week of LCS 2023 Summer, Dignitas are one of the worst team in the league with questionable macro and concerning individual displays from some of their players – namely jungler Lucas “Santorin” Larsen and ADC Frank “Tomo” Lam.

Team Liquid were incredible in the opening week of the split, and while it’s not fair to make early conclusions, these guys look like they’ve finally got things in order. The individual talent was here since LCS 2023 Spring, and with a new coaching staff, Liquid figured out know how to put their talent to use.

There’s always a chance that the top dogs slip, especially so early into the season, but based on the last week’s performances, Team Liquid are a couple of tiers above Dignitas.

Team Liquid -7.5 kills
