ESB’s League of Legends betting tips for Friday focus on two bouts in the LoL Pro League (LPL) Spring 2021 split. Here are our best bets for eStar Gaming vs Suning and FunPlus Phoenix vs Bilibili Gaming on March 26.

?Suning are desperately trying to improve their seeding for the LPL Spring playoffs, but unless Rare Atom and FunPlus Phoenix both drop their games, the 2020 LoL World Championship finalists won’t be finishing the regular season inside the top six. Regardless, Suning don’t seem like they’re ready to take their foot off the gas as they enter this match off a commanding 2-0 sweep of Bilibili Gaming on Tuesday that effectively denied Bilibili a spot in the postseason.

If Suning can recreate that performance, eStar Gaming will have little to no chance of walking away with anything. Despite the generous match odds on offer for the underdogs at esports betting sites, we don’t feel like that is the way to go here. The kill handicap, however, is a different story.

Suning should win this, but they have no real incentive to smash eStar since a more macro-focused game should do the job. For that reason, we are taking the outsiders with a +9.5 kill handicap for the first map.

FunPlus Phoenix got stomped by Victory Five last time out, but we wouldn’t hold that against them seeing as V5 usually win games where they get on the picks they’re comfortable with. The problem is that V5 haven’t been doing much of that this split, so it’s easy to view them as a weak team (which they aren’t).

Bilibili Gaming suffered a 0-2 loss against Suning on Tuesday where they failed to show anything that would excite us. We had high expectations for Bilibili, but it has become clear that they have no idea how to approach games in which they grab leads – and they definitely have no clue what to do when they’re behind.

Here at www.youxiangrj01.com, we like our underdogs, but with the way Bilibili have been playing of late, we just don’t feel comfortable taking their side against FPX.
