?EDward Gaming have played three games so far this split and have done reasonably well. They won against FunPlus Phoenix (2-1) in Week 1, picked up a convincing 2-0 sweep of Weibo Gaming last Monday, but then had to admit defeat to JD Gaming (0-2) on Friday.
A 2-1 is not a bad tally considering the quality of the teams EDG had to face, but many expected them to be 3-0 at this point, so EDward have a lot more to prove. Invictus Gaming are 1-2, which isn’t great, but they did well in their recent fixtures.
IG forced a three-map series against Weibo Gaming (2-1) in their LPL 2022 Summer opener, crushed FunPlus Phoenix (2-0) last week, but were no match for Top Esports (0-2) this past weekend. Overall, Invictus Gaming have exceeded expectations, but the question remains – what can they do against the reigning world champions?
EDward Gaming are huge favourites for this match, and they deserve to be, but we like what we see from Invictus Gaming, who have shown to be very resilient. We don’t expect to see an upset, but the +1.5 handicap on IG at $1.94 is an easy choice.

?Bilibili Gaming have a good enough roster to be competitive, but they have yet to find any traction this split. Their defeat against LNG Esports (1-2) in Week 1 wasn’t particularly terrible, but it’s hard to defend BLG for their performances against UltraPrime (2-1) and Anyone’s Legend (0-2).
Given their unconvincing showings, it makes sense for Bilibili Gaming to be priced as underdogs against Top Esports, but we would argue that even $2.75 is too low. Top Esports slipped in the opening week of LPL 2022 Summer against JD Gaming (1-2), but they’ve since picked up two commanding 2-0 sweeps against Team WE and Invictus Gaming.
Bilibili Gaming are not known for causing upsets, and considering their struggles around neutral objectives this season, it’s very tough to make a case for them here. This is Top Esports’ game to lose.
