by ESB’s free League of Legends betting picks for Saturday focus on three LEC 2021 Summer bouts. Here are our best bets and top odds courtesy of the top-rated esports bookmakers in Seychelles.
SK GAMING vs TEAM VITALITY LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | SK $2.88 at GG Bet | Vitality $1.38 at GG Bet |
| When: | June 19, 2021 at 17:00 CEST |

?The online bookmakers have got this one wrong. You could argue that Team Vitality field more talent, but their implied probability to win shouldn’t be as high as 72.5%.
The Bees’ playstyle isn’t very stable and it seems like the players aren’t on the same page just yet. SK Gaming have had a couple of humiliating performances, but they were a bit unlucky not to win at least one match last week.
This fixture will be much closer than what the LoL betting odds suggest. As such, we are taking the outsiders to cover the kill line.
SK Gaming +6.5 kills
MISFITS vs ASTRALIS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | Misfits $1.42 at GG Bet | Astralis $2.72 at GG Bet |
| When: | June 19, 2021 at 18:00 CEST |
| Watch Live: | Lolesports, Twitch |
?If their showings last week are any indication, Misfits Gaming will finish the split inside the top six. However, this is not a squad you should trust to justify their tag as betting favourites.
As good as Misfits can be, they tend to play better against top teams and underperform against bottom sides. That was obvious in their clash with SK Gaming on Saturday.
Astralis are priced as high as $1.95 to keep this match within five kills, which underestimates them a bit. They did well enough against MAD Lions for us to trust them to keep this match close.
Astralis +5.5 kills
ROGUE vs G2 ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | Rogue $1.83 at GG Bet | G2 $1.91 at GG Bet |
| When: | June 19, 2021 at 21:00 CEST |
| Watch Live: | Lolesports, Twitch |
?G2 Esports historically do well against Rogue, so it doesn’t make much sense to see them priced as high as $1.91 for this bout. G2’s 1-3 loss in the LEC 2021 Spring playoffs was their first defeat to Rogue after a streak of 11 consecutive wins.
The bookmakers seem to overvalue that result and don’t consider Rogue’s shaky performances this split. Regarded as one of the most consistent teams in the world, Rogue have yet to show that side of them this month.
G2 Esports might not be as good as they were back in 2019, but they shouldn’t be priced as underdogs.
