EMEA Masters Spring Groups – Odds and Predictions
Group A – Wildcats on Top
- Istanbul Wildcats – 5
- Los Heretics – 6
- Zero Tenacity – 41
- Geekay Esports – 67
Starting with Group A, our betting insights here are clear. Specifically, Istanbul Wildcats and Los Heretics are the clear favourites for this group.
Considering how close the LoL odds rank one another, the battle for first place should be rather interesting despite the top 2 being very clear.
Group B – Three Horse Race
- FUT Esports – 7
- Movistar Riders – 9
- AEGIS – 15
- Macko Esports – 101
Meanwhile, Group B looks to be a hugely entertaining group. Considering how tightly FUT Esports, Movistar and AEGIS rank one another, this is an awesome League of Legends betting opportunity.
Especially if AEGIS can improve, this will be tough to call, while Macko Esports will most likely place last here.
Group C – EMEA Masters Spring Groups Betting Insights
- LDLC OL – 3.75
- UoL – 8
- Anonymo Esports – 15
- eSuba – 201
Looking like the most likely team to win the event according to the outright odds, LDLC OL looks to walk away with Group C. In addition, the outright odds have LDLC OL most favoured to win the entire event as outlined by the LoL odds.
Bearing this in mind, UoL and Anonymo Esports will be going head-to-head in order to earn that coveted second place spot and make it further into the competition.
Group D – Team GO Going Ahead
- Team GO – 5.5
- SK Gaming Prime – 11
- Riddle Esports – 19
- Anorthosis Esports – 101
Finally, we have Group D which features a toss up between Team GO, SK Gaming Prime and Riddle Esports.
Despite Anorthosis Esports managing to climb through the Play-In stage, they aren’t heavily favoured here thanks to the tough competition they’ll now face in this next stage.
