ESB’s free League of Legends betting picks focus on three LoL European Championship (LEC) 2022 Spring bouts on Saturday, February 19. Here are our selections for Team BDS vs SK Gaming, Team Vitality vs Rogue, and G2 Esports vs Fnatic, with top odds courtesy of GG Bet.


TEAM BDS vs SK GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Odds: BDS $1.77 at GG Bet | SK $2.00 at GG Bet
When: February 19, 2022 at 18:00 CET
Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

?The line on this match is quite surprising since we didn’t expect to see SK Gaming priced as the underdogs. Admittedly, Team BDS won the first meeting with SK earlier this season, but they’ve been playing poorly ever since.

That’s not to say that SK Gaming are a very good team, but they can be competitive and have already beaten MAD Lions twice, which is impressive. This is still a clash between two struggling teams, so there’s a world where Team BDS surprise, but at $2.00, you have to take SK Gaming to come out ahead.

Note that the odds will move depending on how the first round of matches go, so if you expect Vitality to stumble against Team BDS, it might be worth waiting for the Friday matches to end to get better odds on SK.

TEAM VITALITY vs ROGUE LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Odds: Vitality $2.00 at GG Bet | Rogue $1.72 at GG Bet
When: February 19, 2022 at 20:00 CET

?If we didn’t have any preconceived notions on the teams and have odds that are based solely on the teams’ performance this season, Rogue would be even greater favourites. And that tells us that the esports bookies know Vitality are much stronger than their record suggests.

Vitality have not looked good this season, but they have the talent needed to defeat Rogue, who are trending in the wrong direction, with two successive defeats from last week. Note that this is a bet on talent rather than on the teams’ performances this season. Still, it’s not like Rogue impressed anyone with their showings last week.

G2 ESPORTS vs FNATIC LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

LoL Odds: G2 $2.20 at GG Bet | Fnatic $1.61 at GG Bet

Fnatic had some iffy showings this split, but they’re still one of the main favourites to win the LEC title, largely thanks to Team Vitality’s struggles. But while Fnatic are 8-3, they seem a bit overrated at $1.61 against G2 Esports.

We have no problem with the esports betting sites pricing Fnatic as the favourites, but we don’t believe they deserve the current price. G2 Esports have been playing surprisingly well this season and are currently tied with Fnatic in second place at 8-3.

Long-term, G2 Esports likely won’t achieve as much as Fnatic, but this should be a very competitive series. As long as the outsiders can slow down Fnatic’s early game and play around their bottom lane, G2 should be able to win and are a solid bet at $2.20.
