Why Bet on FunPlus Phoenix
FunPlus Phoenix is the betting favorite in most people’s list to win the event, and they are coming in strong into the group phase.
FPX won it all back in S9 of Worlds.
In the LPL playoffs this season, they swept LNG Esports and Team WE, securing their place in the finals.
Although they ultimately lost to EDG in the finals, they demonstrated strategies, coordination, and offensive ability that blew many fans away.
This will be their strongest weapon heading into this Worlds.
Why Bet on Rogue
It was announced that two representatives from the Vietnam Championship Series won’t be able to attend due to travel restrictions.
As a result, the LEC’s third seed Rogue was be automatically moving up into the group stage of the tournament, skipping play-ins.
This was a huge switch for the EU representative since they can now take more time to prepare and practice.
Final Betting Analysis: Funplus Phoenix vs. Rogue
It’s unclear if this increased amount of time away from Summoner’s Rift will be beneficial for Rogue.
More time for preparations is always great, but having time to shake off the rust against weaker teams in the play-in stage is also a good way to warm up for the rest of the tournament.
And in this match, they are playing against the top ranked team, which should be a tough match-up.
We take FunPlus Phoenix as our betting pick for this game, as we believe FPX and DWG are the reason group A is a “death group” for the other teams.
