Team Vitality and FC Schalke 04 will go head-to-head for the third time this season on Saturday, August 24 in round two of the 2019 LEC Summer Split playoffs.

Schalke finished the season as the fourth seed with an 11-7 record, meaning they earned direct promotion into playoffs.

Vitality had to leap over one last hurdle after tying for sixth place with a 7-11 record, but they secured their progress with a tiebreaker win against SK Gaming last Saturday.

It was a close match that showcased all the strengths and weaknesses of both sides, yet it was the French side who came through and now enter a tough test against Schalke.

If there is one thing that defines Vitality, it is their lack of consistency.

One day they will crush one of the strongest teams in Europe, only to fall flat against the lowliest of opposition in their very next game.

There were countless examples of that in this split, most notoriously the win against G2 in week seven followed by defeats to SK and Misfit.

Vitality are unpredictable, emotional and aggressive, which can be a double-edged sword.

If they can get their wheels rolling at the start, the French side will ride the wave and finish strong; however, a poor start will crush their confidence.

Schalke looked very good earlier in the split, with solid team fighting and impressive play overall.

There was even reason to believe they could finish top three, but they dropped the ball on several occasions.

Even so, the German side looked good and finished 11-7, which earned them a solid fourth-place finish in the LEC standings.

Schalke’s biggest weapon is the experienced Korean jungler Kim “Trick” Gang-yun, who earned four MVP awards throughout the split.

Also worthy of a mention is Elias “Upset” Lipp, who is an exceptional ADC player and a driving force behind Schalke’s victories.

Team Vitaly vs Schalke 04 betting predictions

Ambitions in Schalke’s camp ahead of the season were to reach the LoL Worlds for the first time in their history.

While there is still a long road to get there, the 2019 season provides them with an excellent opportunity.

They have the quality and the right mindset, and now they just need the results.

Vitality’s aggressive and unorthodox approach to every game often works in their favour, yet it is also what brings them undone.

It is difficult to prepare for a match with the French outfit, and that will hold true for a side Schalke that takes a much more conventional approach to the game.

Despite the odds, this match can go either way. Should Vitality get off to a flyer, this series could easily end in their favour.

A lot would have to go right for that to happen, but you can bet Vitality will not go down without a fight.

The 2019 LEC Summer Split playoffs will kick off on Friday, August 23 with a match between Splyce and Rogue, who will look to improve upon their 0-2 record against Peter Dun and his squad.

A quirk of the LoL European Championship playoffs format gave Splyce the option play either the fifth or sixth seed in the first round.

Having an option to pick between Team Vitality and Rogue, Splyce decided to avoid the unpredictable French side and instead picked a side they have already beaten twice this split.

-714.29 at BetOnline

Splyce are arguably the third-best team in Europe and they have the results to back up that claim.

They have a solid roster led by the gifted Marek “Humanoid” Brázda, who earned four MVP awards throughout the split and legitimately looks like one of the best EU midlaners.

The real strength of Splyce, however, comes from the depth of the team, as they have talented players in each of the five positions.

Their consistency throughout the season earned them a spot in the final six barely seven weeks into the split, when they brought up their 10th win in 14 games.

Splyce showed class and quality this split and deserved to reach the playoffs.

Rogue odds – LEC Summer playoffs

+440 at BetOnline

It’s hard not to be impressed with Rogue, who improved drastically compared to their spring split campaign when they won only two fixtures throughout the whole season.

Having experienced one of the worst records in the history of LEC, changes were needed and the Rogue brains trust did not hesitate to make them.

In late May they signed Pawe? “Woolite” Pruski, Emil “Larssen” Larsson and Kacper “Inspired” S?oma on top of a couple of changes in coaching personnel.

Marcus “Blumigan” Blom, a former player, analyst and coach for Ninjas in Pyjamas, joined as an assistant coach, whereas Ismael Pedraza took over the role of a performance coach.

All in all, Rogue can be happy with their first-ever playoffs appearance, which they earned with a 7-11 record that included a win over Fnatic in week five.

Splyce vs Rogue betting predictions

Rogue have never defeated Splyce before, meaning they are 0-4 against their Friday opponents.

The underdogs have come a long way since spring and deserve all the praise they get, but there are serious concerns about their ability to compete in a tough best-of-five (Bo5) series against the best EU has to offer.

While it will be a split to remember for Rogue, we do not see them upsetting a Splyce side that has designs on the LoL World Championship.

The post EU LCS semifinals – Team Vitality vs. Schalke 04 betting news appeared first on Esport Bet.

]]>
The newly found rivalry between Vitality and Schalke reaches boiling point in the first semifinal match on Friday.

The proud representatives of France and Germany will fight for a historical spot in the EU LCS finals, as neither team has yet had a chance to win the championship.

A battle of quick wits, raw strength and flaming emotion is guaranteed.

Vitality’s form at the end of the regular season looked like the first half of this year’s Spring Split.

Turning into a steamrolling force and winning 9 of the last 10 matches meant a bye to the semifinals for the Bees, and it all started with the arrival of their currently most important member: their jungler Kikis.

Kikis’ immense aggression fit the team like a glove, making them by far the best team in the league when it comes to early game plays.

Vitality play lightning-fast, with their three potential carries reaching their powerspikes very early.

Their games tend to finish quickly, and that’s where a slight weakness lies: VIT’s late game decisions are sometimes questionable, and Schalke should look to punish them.

Exploiting Vitality’s late game is exactly how Schalke became the only team to beat them in their 9-1 run.

The Royal Blues play high-quality teamfights and tend to stay calm in lane, saving theirs strength for the mid and late game.

Upset showed against Splyce how skilled of a player he is, and combined with Vander’s and Csacsi’s terrific engages, presents a huge threat if Vitality makes even a slight misstep. Team Vitality are still the favourites, though.

Their snowbally playstyle could create significant problems to Schalke’s laners and, especially, their jungler, and if they manage to play as well as they did recently, they should get through by winning three quick games, even if they lose some as well.

The summer champion of the European League of Legends Championship Series will be crowned in less than two weeks.

After a spectacular regular season, which brought us some of the most interesting strategies to appear on the Rift in recent years, six teams have locked in their playoff spots. G2 Esports, Splyce, FC Schalke 04 and Misfits Gaming fight in the quarterfinals on August 24th and 25th, while Fnatic and Team Vitality have received a bye to the semifinals as a reward for finishing first and second in the regular season.

Let’s take a look at the quarterfinal matches that will take place over the weekend!

FC Schalke 04 Esports (#3) vs. Splyce (#6)

Schalke 04 and Splyce will give us the first taste of the knockout stage on Friday. The German football giants are living the dream, as their team has reached playoffs for the first time in the org’s history. The Snakes, on the other hand, have an eye on qualifying for the World Championship, and a good playoff run could give them exactly what they want.

Schalke’s star-studded roster disappointed in the Spring Split, finishing 8th and showing multiple team-related issues. This split, the arrival of their new jungler Amazing has helped immensely. The vocal veteran took over as captain and shotcaller immediately, and in a few weeks Schalke became one of the most decisive teams in the league, playing a fast-paced and team-focused style of LoL. While their strong laners can gather significant leads early on, the team shines the most when it comes to objective control and teamfighting – Nukeduck and Upset are both very potent carries, and Vizicsacsi and Vander are excellent in providing necessary utility. Schalke are a strong and well-organised five-man unit, and their 10-2 run in the last 12 games of the season proves it.

Splyce have had another catastrophic start to the season, but managed to scrape by and clinch the last playoff spot near the end of the split. They’ve showed that they can both beat the best and lose to the worst teams, but a BO5 requires much more consistency than we’re used to seeing from them. As in Spring, the Snakes play a very late-game focused style, which doesn’t always work out in the current meta. They favour a fairly passive early game and often trail in gold, while waiting for Kobbe and Nisqy to reach their full potential and unleash their power in the deciding fights.

Despite Schalke’s roster having never played a BO5 match, they are the favourites in the first quarterfinals. In addition to their ability to perform consistently game after game, they outmatch Splyce at a few key game elements, including early game and mid-game baron fights.

Chance of winning:(S04 70%, SPY 30%)

G2 Esports (#4) vs. Misfits Gaming (#5)

Exactly one year ago, G2 and Misfits fought in the EU LCS grand finals as Europe’s premier LoL teams. This season, it’s a little different. G2 are coming to playoffs following a rocky, but decent regular split, while Misfits are recovering from their inexplainable slump (2-7 in the second part of the split) after a stellar start with nine straight victories.

G2 have had some struggles with creating a new game plan, after funneling gold into Perkz stopped being a viable strategy. It’s tough to form a team around a carry top laner these days, so Wunder has mostly been unsuccessful in repeating his Spring Split performances, but Hjarnan has recently stepped up his game on traditional ADC champions. Still, some issues remain for G2: their usually solid jungler Jankos has been underperforming for quite some time, and the team will need to find a way to fit him into the new playstyle.

Misfits’ form plummeted after they steamrolled Europe in the first half of the regular season, and they haven’t been able to find a solution for their problems yet. It seems that Misfits at the moment are a team without a carry – their early strategy of sending their jungler to the bottom lane to help Hans Sama made the Frenchman look like the best bot laner in the league, but it seems that the Bunnies had given up on that plan for good. Maxlore, the backbone of the team, has also dropped in form, so a duel between two underperforming junglers could be a focal point of the series.

It’s obvious that both these teams have their issues, but we have seen both of them prepare very well and perform great in BO5’s. G2 should be slightly favoured here, but despite Misfits’ abysmal recent form, they are no pushover, as they always bring their best when they’ve had time to practice.

Chance of winning:(G2 60%, MSF 40%)
Betting prediction: Misfits to win, paying +137 at BetOnline.

Splyce vs. Team Vitality

These two teams, which were so closely matched during the Spring Split, are living a whole different story in Summer. Vitality are just one win away from the #2 spot, and Splyce have been a disappointment for their fans so far, as they’re sitting out of the top 6.

The Snakes are having a very weird split so far. They sometimes pop off and smash some of the stronger teams, and then lose to opponents considered much worse, or play an absolute clown fiesta against Giants like they did this week. Vitality are the likely winners here simply because their early game is very good, and Splyce like to play 5v5 teamfights when behind – however, Vitality are perhaps the best team in the league at avoiding large fights. This stylistic advantage, along with their consistency, gives them an edge over Splyce.

Betting prediction: Team Vitality to win, paying -138.89 at BetOnline.

Giants Gaming vs. H2k-Gaming

Europe is perhaps the best region to watch matches between bottom teams. These games tend to be incredibly entertaining, and Giants and H2k are surely teams that will try super hard to get a much needed win.

Giants have had somewhat of a resurgence recently, taking an unlikely win against G2 and coming very close to beating Splyce in the very next game. The much criticised Steeelback is finally playing more aggressive and dealing more damage, and Djoko’s Kindred has turned out to be a pretty decent way to win teamfights. H2k have showed that they can finally play a decent early game, but aside from Selfie and partly promisq, all their players are still in terrible form. Giants should have a small advantage here, due to their better play showing that they can contest even stronger teams than H2k.

Betting prediction: Giants Gaming to win, paying -151.52 at BetOnline.

FC Schalke 04 Esports vs. Unicorns of Love

Schalke and UOL have had a very similar start to the season, going 2-4 in the first three weeks. But that’s where their similarities end: Schalke hasn’t lost a game since, while UOL went 1-2 and had to start a rookie player to fill for their ill ADC Samux.

The Royal Blues have a three-game winning streak on their record, but the numbers don’t show the quality of their play. Their wins have been quite shaky, usually after a weak early game, and they rely on clutch teamfights later on to turn the tables and take the driving seat in the match. UOL have looked both good and bad with their new ADC, but overall it’s still a big disadvantage that one of their most reliable player is out of the squad. Exileh vs. Nukeduck in the mid lane will be an exciting matchup, which might even decide the game, but as Schalke have more than one player who can carry them, they are the favourites here.

Betting prediction: FC Schalke 04 Esports to win, paying -175.44 at BetOnline.

Team ROCCAT vs. G2 Esports

It’s been a rough week for the quadruple EU LCS champs. Two defeats in a row can’t feel good, and next on their schedule is the epitome of consistency: Roccat. The Cats are looking okay as always, and a victory against their favourite opponents would be an insane boost in confidence for them.

G2 went 0-2 as the players looked completely disconnected from each other in the unexpected loss to Giants. With classic ADC champions coming back into the meta, Hjarnan’s weaknesses are again coming into light. He’s having a hard time in lane, and Jankos too isn’t as efficient early on, failing to live up to his nickname “the First Blood King”. Roccat might actually take this with their synergy and excellent macro play. Of course the match is G2 favoured, but Roccat have a higher chance of winning than it may seem.

Betting prediction: G2 Esports to win, paying -277.78 at BetOnline.

Misfits Gaming vs. Fnatic

The most interesting match of the day will finish off Week 5. Fnatic’s unpredictability can surprise everyone, including themselves: the boys in orange and black always look like they can beat anyone and lose to anyone. A battle against the undefeated Misfits will be an ultimate test for their improvised squad, and it might be what convinces them to start Rekkles after a while.

Misfits are the favourites in every match they play in as they are just on a completely another level compared to their opposition. They haven’t even been really challenged yet, winning all their games convincingly, and if any team has the pure individual quality to match them, it’s the reigning European champions. It’ll be interesting to see if the disorganised Fnatic can find a way to outperform Misfits, especially on a macro level, but MSF have a bigger chance of taking the win.

Betting prediction: Misfits Gaming to win, paying -200 at BetOnline.

H2k-Gaming vs. Unicorns of Love

In matches between two teams that don’t win too often, the Rift is guaranteed to be a serious warzone. H2k and UOL haven’t had much luck this split, with H2k sitting at the bottom of the table with a 0-7 record, and Unicorns being just two places above at 2-5. Both teams need a confidence boost and will be ready to do anything to get a win.

H2k got demolished by Vitality in their last game, continuing their winless streak. This time, though, their carries performed decently, but were ousted by SmittyJ and Shook, who had a very weak early game performance. However, they do have a chance to beat Unicorns, who performed poorly with an emergency sub in the bottom lane. Nevertheless, UOL still have a mid laner who can pop off and carry the entire team, so they should be slight favourites here.

Chance of winning: H2K 40%, UOL 60%
Betting prediction: Unicorns of love to win, paying -138.89 at BetOnline.

FC Schalke 04 Esports vs. Splyce

Two playoff hopefuls sitting just below the treasured playoff spots are directly competing against each other for a bigger chance of advancing. Both teams also won yesterday, making the motivation even stronger while gunning for a perfect 2-0 week.

Splyce, although they looked weak at Rift Rivals, are currently on a roll in the domestic league with three consecutive wins. A victory against Fnatic shows that they mean serious business, and after top tier performances from Xerxe, Odoamne and Nisqy, their fans can be optimistic about the future. Schalke, on the other hand, didn’t really have a good game for a while, even though they beat Giants earlier this week. The German team needs much better execution of their macro decisions if they want to be a real contender for a place in the top half, and while Nukeduck is looking good at the moment, the rest of the team will need to step up for this game.

Chance of winning: 35% S04, 65% SPY
Betting prediction: Splyce to win, paying -175.44 at BetOnline.

G2 Esports vs. Giants Gaming

G2 aren’t the league leaders anymore after losing to Misfits in a close and exciting game. They’ll certainly want to get back on their feet, and they can be happy that Giants are their next opponent. The second-to-last team in the standings has suffered five consecutive losses and are far from being a top-tier squad, but a win against G2 could change everything.

Giants’ most recent defeat to Schalke was probably the best summary of their split so far. Even after getting an early lead, which is quite important against a funnel comp, they just couldn’t do anything with it and slowly lost the game after making many individual mistakes and being inactive macro-wise. G2 just got outplayed by Misfits, and the level of play they showed wasn’t bad, but simply not good enough to win against the best team in Europe. G2 should comfortably win this game and solidify their #2 spot.

Chance of winning: G2 80%, GIA 20%
Betting prediction: Splyce to win, paying -357.14 at BetOnline.

Team ROCCAT vs. Fnatic

One of the more interesting matches this week is next on the menu, pitting the two 4th place holders against each other to decide who goes down to 5th. The consistent Roccat meets the volatile Fnatic in a game that is sure to be explosive and quick-paced.

While normally Fnatic would always be considered strong favourites against Roccat, their most recent game speaks a lot about their weaknesses. Giving Broxah a chance to carry from the jungle backfired horribly for the EU champions, who faltered all around and simply had no way to escape defeat at the hands of Splyce. Roccat had a good game against UOL, smashing their funnel composition and closing out perfectly with a well-played siege. Roccat’s great synergy and communication could work wonders against Fnatic’s players, who sometimes feel disconnected and get caught out. Fnatic still have the upper hand due to the pure quality of their players, but the winner is far from decided on paper.

Chance of winning: ROC 40%, FNC 60%
Betting prediction: Roccat to win, paying +175 at BetOnline.

Team Vitality vs. Misfits Gaming

The last match of the week is also the one everyone’s going to be waiting for all Saturday: the undefeated Misfits face the strong and innovative Vitality, with both teams thriving in the surprise potential of the current meta. Week 4 is going out with a bang, and likely leaving us waiting impatiently for the next weekend.

Vitality’s players and their coach YamatoCannon continue to find successful new ways of playing the game, having smashed H2k with and Ekko mid and a Gragas top yesterday. Misfits, however, are a much tougher opponent than H2k, and know how to react to unexpected picks. The Bunnies’ simple double-threat playstyle remains an unsolved mystery for European teams, and it’s one of the easiest strategies to play properly, thus making less room for opponents to punish their mistakes. Vitality are a very good team, but they will need to play a perfect early game to threaten Misfits, who have the upper hand here.
Chance of winning: VIT 35%, MSF 65%

Betting Predictions for Saturday June 30

H2K-Gaming vs. Misfits Gaming

The top and the bottom teams will duke it out in the first match on Saturday, which offers a great opportunity for Misfits to continue their good run. It’s quite a battle of David and Goliath, and it will be interesting to see if H2K have some tricks up their sleeve to put up a better fight.

Misfits’ bot lane has been a great deal better than their H2K counterparts this split, and Hans Sama has shown no signs of slowing down. Sheriff and promisq are in for a hard time unless they both ban Draven and fix their own individual issues, and it’s going to be a tough job for them. Another edge that Misfits have over H2K is their jungler Maxlore, who is one of the best playmakers in the league and will surely impact the map more than Shook, who mostly plays carry champions without proper support from his team.

Chance of winning: H2K 20%, MSF 80%

Team Vitality vs. FC Schalke 04 Esports

An interesting matchup of two mid-table teams, this game can certainly go either way. Vitality’s brave picks and no-nonsense gameplay faces Schalke’s controlled style focused on the early game, and such a duel can easily be decided by one single mistake.

Both teams like accumulating a large gold lead in the early portions of the game, and the first 15 minutes will probably decide the winner, as neither of them are very good at making comebacks. Attila could make a serious difference if he renders Upset useless through his strong laning, but on the other hand, Schalke’s jungler Amazing likes to play around his top and mid lanes, so the Royal Blues won’t give up any pressure to their opponents. I’d give a slight advantage to Vitality, simply because they’ve been using an overall easier strategy to execute than Schalke.

Chance of winning: VIT 60%, S04 40%

Giants Gaming vs. Fnatic

Next up is another match where the favourite is clear right off the bat. Giants have been one of the more disappointing teams in the league, and for Fnatic this is supposed to be the much easier game of the week, after a battle against fellow title contenders G2.

Steeelback and SirNukesAlot will have another new challenge, this time against a likely double-mage bottom lane. Fnatic’s new duo has been stellar recently, with Bwipo doing nearly three times more damage per minute than his opposing laner. Caps is also likely to be the first player to absolutely crush Betsy, due to Broxah providing tons of attention to his lane and being much more proactive than Djoko. This is likely to be a very one-sided game unless Fnatic make significant mistakes in the early game. While this isn’t impossible, it’s still much more likely that they’ll beat Giants.

Chance of winning: FNC 80%, GIA 20%
Betting prediction: Fnatic to win, paying -357.14 at BetOnline.

Splyce vs. Team Roccat

Splyce will need to get out of their rut quickly if they want to even reach playoffs at this point. Also, with Rift Rivals just around the corner, the Snakes should be looking to up their form in any way possible. A win against Roccat would surely boost their confidence, but can they manage to get a win against a stable mid-tier team?

Roccat are one of the rare teams to still rely on hard engage and 5v5 teamfighting this split. Memento and Blanc look for fights in every possible situation, and the rest of the team are usually quick to respond and join them. That’s the main reason why I think this is Splyce’s best chance for a victory so far – while playing the new strategies has been hard for them, Kobbe, Nisqy and the bunch are still very good teamfighters and will be happy to play Roccat’s game. I think Splyce will finally get a W here.

Chance of winning: ROC 40%, SPY 60%
Betting prediction: Splyce to win, paying -120.48 at BetOnline.

G2 Esports vs. Unicorns of Love

Week 3 bids farewell with another match that is likely to be one-sided. The four-time champions will be looking to keep up with Misfits by winning another game against a mid-table team, but the Unicorns will surely be looking to surprise.

An obvious advantage for G2 is the fact that UOL play a mid-focused style, but not as mid-focused as themselves. While Exileh does get help from the jungle and the occasional support roam in his lane, Samux usually plays standard ADC’s and does his own thing in the bottom lane. On the other hand, Perkz gets absolutely anything he wants from his teammates and his hard carry picks quickly reach immense power, usually even before 20 minutes. I believe G2 are simply a better team at the moment, and they also have an advantage when it comes to playstyles – all in all, it would be quite safe to bet on them to win.

Chance of winning: G2 75%, UOL 25%

EU LCS Summer Split is just around the corner, and the anticipation is through the roof as the most exciting spring in Europe’s history is still fresh in everyone’s minds.

With very few roster changes and tons of practice during the offseason, most teams will be looking to take part in the fight for Worlds.

Every week counts in the Summer Split, so let’s take a look at the matchups in week 1!

Team Vitality vs. Splyce

The new split will start with a duel between the 3rd and 4th place teams from Spring, who gave us an incredible BO5 last time they fought. Both teams kept the same rosters (Vitality’s Attila is just their former ADC Minitroupax with a different name), and it’ll be interesting to see who adapted better to the new meta.

Vitality have a history of putting a lot of work in the early game, with Gilius being one of the most frequent gankers in the league. Xerxe, however, has been a terrific control style jungler, and him putting Gilius in check will be one of Splyce’s main win conditions. If the game’s main focus is mid lane, though, Vitality will probably have an edge due to Jiizuke’s well-known laning prowess, and Nisqy’s preference for scaling champions. I still think Splyce will be a bit stronger, purely because of their competent coaching staff that should have researched the meta quite well, but anything can happen in this match.

(VIT 40%, SPY 60%) – bet at BetOnline

Giants Gaming vs. H2k-Gaming

Last split performances of Giants and H2k were nearly exact opposites. while Giants started strong and held a playoff spot for quite some time, H2k tanked the entire first half of the split and placed last. At the end, though, the tables were switched: Giants ended bottom of the table, while H2k got to quarterfinals after substantial roster changes. Giants’ support has changed, as they decided to bring in a rookie, the well-known soloQ player SirNukesAlot.

The new meta should fit H2k like a glove, since Selfie and Shook have formed a great mid-jungle duo since the very beginning. Their bot lane should also have an advantage, as Sheriff has shown that his mechanics are one of the best in Europe, while on the other hand Steeelback is having an awful time playing the new picks in soloQ, and will also have to adapt to his new support. This should be a pretty safe win for H2k unless they mess up significantly.

Unicorns of Love vs. FC Schalke 04

Berlin’s favourites UOL will face their fellow playoff shortcomers in a match that is likely to be explosive and entertaining. Schalke have added a new jungler, the famous player-turned-caster-turned-player Amazing, who should help them with their shotcalling, while UOL are bringing an emergency sub in the ADC position.
UOL like playing a raw and bloody game, which is certainly one of the main aspects of the current meta. Exileh is rumored to have stepped up hugely in the offseason, and Nukeduck surely won’t have an easy job. However, the bot lane is a huge issue for the Unicorns. Their sub Neon has never played on a big stage before, and he also lacks scrim time and synergy with the team. Since Schalke are known for their ability to throw games, UOL shouldn’t be counted out, but it must be said that the football giants are small favourites here.

(UOL 35%, S04 65%) – bet at BetOnline

G2 Esports vs. Team ROCCAT

G2 are entering this split as non-champions, for the first time since they joined the LCS in 2016. It should be expected that they have been putting in serious work in the offseason, as a race for the title should be a given for a team with such a legacy. Roccat have made no changes to their roster after finally reaching playoffs after two years, and they will be looking to repeat that success in Summer.

G2 fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Hjarnan is no longer the main carry of the team in these circumstances. Jankos and Perkz have been putting massive effort into improving over the break, and they should have an advantage over Memento and especially Blanc. Roccat’s macro, which helped them a lot during Spring, won’t mean much here, as games are usually much less coherent and way more hectic than before. G2 are certainly the stronger team and should be taking this, but Roccat, “the kingslayers”, can never be written out.

(G2 70%, ROC 30%) – bet at BetOnline

Fnatic vs. Misfits Gaming

You can never be certain about the outcome of Misfits’ games. The Bunnies didn’t even reach playoffs last split, but they were also the only team to beat the eventual champions Fnatic twice. Fnatic will be looking for revenge, and also for a solution to their top lane dilemma, where they have two top tier players to choose from.

Caps and Broxah are probably having a great time thinking about this game, as they are both in great form and synergise exceptionally well, which is hugely important for a mid/jungle duo at the moment. A problem for both can be a lack of focus on the bot lanes, where Rekkles and Hans Sama were excelling last split. However, early game is Fnatic’s great edge over Misfits. While Misfits are considered to be Fnatic’s Kryptonite, it’s very hard to say that they’re favourites here. An upset is certainly possible, though.

(FNC 65%, MSF 35%) – bet at BetOnline

H2k-Gaming vs. Team ROCCAT

The duel between the two of the most unlikely participants of Spring playoffs is likely to be a fiery one. Both teams have noticeable strengths and weaknesses, and a win against their direct competitors for the lower playoff seeds will mean a lot for either of them.

Roccat like to snowball and H2K like to fight in the late game, to summarize the playstyles of these two teams. H2K know how to keep Roccat’s lanes calm, though, as they succeeded in surviving the early game aggression both times last split. Roccat likely won’t be having a field day here, but they do have their chances if Profit smashes top lane and Memento and Blanc at least go even with H2k’s fearsome duo. H2k should be slightly favoured here, as their plan is much easier to execute.

(H2K 60%, ROC 40%) – bet at BetOnline

Unicorns of Love vs. Misfits

The two famously inconsistent teams will have a very important duel here, as both need to face much stronger opponents later on. Misfits should be more inclined to win this, though, as UOL are playing without their starting ADC, and are not expected to do well in the first week. Last split Misfits took the wins, but can the Unicorns surprise them?

It’s obvious that Misfits were having early and mid game issues all year, and changing coaches could have a positive effect in that field. Maxlore’s pathing could be exploited by UOL’s intelligent jungler Kold, but Hans Sama and Mikyx are likely to build up a hefty gold lead against Totoro and his sub ADC Neon. There’s one thing UOL can put all their hopes in though, and that’s their volatile mid laner Exileh. As a well-known Yasuo, Ryze and Zoe player, Exileh could have one of his good days and simply explode and hard-carry his team. However unlikely that might sound, I think there’s a good chance of that scenario coming true. Just a tiny advantage for Misfits here.

Team Vitality vs. Giants Gaming

Vitality’s squad will face their former team in their second game of the week, and a victory against Giants is what everyone will be expecting from them. Giants likely have a few tricks up their sleeves, but it’s questionable if it will be enough to beat a team that is, honestly, a bit out of their league.

Vitality will have a likely advantage in the early game, due to Gilius and Jiizuke synergising a lot better than their counterparts on the opposing team. Also, considering his versatility, Attila is expected to be quite a bit better than Steeelback at the new mage picks in the bot lane. What Giants could do is basically just funneling all of their gold into Betsy, but the Swede hasn’t shown the ability to carry recently, similarly to the rest of his teammates. Won’t be hard for Vitality to get that W here.

(VIT 80%, GIA 20%) – bet at BetOnline

FC Schalke 04 vs. Fnatic

We’re likely in for a treat in this game. Schalke are gunning for glory with their new jungler, and a victory against the reigning champions would surely lift their spirits to the stratosphere. Fnatic are expected to win comfortably, but things might not be as clear as they seem at the first glance.

Schalke’s early game troubles should be somewhat mitigated by Amazing, who will also likely give one hundred and ten percent against his former team, where he did not have a good time at all. Fnatic’s Caps and Broxah should be able to take whatever Amazing and Nukeduck can throw at them, and a bot lane that has Rekkles in it is always expected to go Fnatic’s way. Schalke do have a chance, though, and Vizicsacsi will have to work very hard in order to get his team through the first teamfights. Fnatic are better both individually and team-wise, and should take this game, but the Royal Blues won’t give up easily.

(FNC 70%, S04 30%) – bet at BetOnline

G2 Esports vs. Splyce

The derby of week 1 is also the last game that will be played. G2 and Splyce are top teams, that know how to play to their advantages and would both like to see the EU LCS winner’s cup in their trophy case. A strong performance here means a direct advantage in the race for 1st place, and what more does a team need to try their hardest to win?

The main advantage for G2 should be Jankos, as he was the only jungler in Europe that always had Xerxe’s number. Perkz and Nisqy will be having an interesting duel in the mid lane, considering that G2’s mid laner has been practising the new picks extremely hard, and that his opponent is known to be somewhat of an innovator. Hjarnan and Wadid also usually perform well against the passive Kobbe and KaSing, but the bot lane can’t be predicted as easily as before. Still, G2 are slightly favoured in this match, but Splyce also has a very real chance of winning by putting in work through the top and mid lanes.

The long-standing speculations about the future franchising of the League of Legends EU LCS have finally been confirmed.

Riot Games revealed plans for making the League a more stable and player-friendly environment, which include long-term partnership with teams, shared revenue and more.

With goals to make the EU LCS a multi-generational sports league and form lasting connections between teams and their fans, ten organisations will be accepted into the first franchised season of European LoL competition, which will start in 2019.

Relegations are set to be removed from the league, in order to provide teams with more options for future investment and lessen the chance of financial collapse.

Franchising will also open the opportunity for revenue sharing between teams and pros alike, similar to the partnership programmes already implemented in the North American and Chinese top leagues.

All parties will contribute to single league revenue pool (LRP), and share the pool between themselves afterwards. The percentages are already known: 35% of the LRP will be shared among players to cover their payment, 32.5% will go to the teams, and the remaining 32.5% will be allocated to Riot Games to cover production and organisation costs.

Minimum player salary will be raised to €60,000, more than doubling the current lowest accepted pay, and equalling the salary floor between newcomers and league veterans.

Additionally, a yet undisclosed player development platform will be launched, with the goal to help players with personal finance, healthcare and other issues. This is especially targeted towards rookies and young players, to ensure that they have all that is needed to reach their full potential. More details about the platform will be revealed over the next few months.

Betonline.ag bonus offer

The buy-in prices are reported to be 8 million euros ($9.93 million) for teams currently competing in the league, and 10.5 million euros ($13.02 million) for teams aiming to enter the league from outside. In NA LCS’s case, six previously established LCS teams were accepted into the franchise, while four new organisations made their start in 2018.

Teams will be required to pass a three-stage application process in the same manner the NA organisations did last year. The first phase will include explaining their team strategy, brand, business plans and ownership details in an application sent to Riot. They will also need to answer a set of special questions listed by the company, which will provide enough information for them to decide if the applicant will be a valuable addition to the league.

In the second phase, Riot will review the received applications with advice from third-party experts in the field, in order to decide which teams will be invited to send their representatives for an interview. The interview will require the teams to present their application in-person and give a detailed explanation for each part of the application. As stated in the release, Riot’s goal is to “partner with strong organisations who share the same vision of strengthening the EU LCS and are capable of making that dream a reality”. Ten teams will advance from the interview phase, and those teams will be part of the 2019 season of EU LCS.

In the final phase, paperwork and signings will be finished, and the full line-up of the franchised EU LCS will be announced before the free agency period kicks off in November. Current teams that are not accepted into the franchise will have a buyout period, during which they will be able to sell the contracts of any remaining players. The rejected orgs will also receive a compensation from Riot for all their contributions and investments in Europe’s premier League of Legends competition.

The potential franchising of the EU LCS has been rumoured for months now, and it is a logical move by Riot after multiple complaints by European teams regarding financial stability and profitability of the league. H2K and Unicorns of Love released public statements aimed at Riot, and some of the strongest EU LCS teams, Fnatic, G2 Esports, Splyce and Misfits even applied for the NA LCS last year. All of them were rejected, and remained in EU.

Many different organisations are rumored to be interested in taking part in the new league, and according to ESPN, multiple European football (soccer) teams have expressed wishes to apply. Representatives of these clubs will reportedly attend future League of Legends events in Europe, including the EU LCS finals in Copenhagen and the Mid-Season Invitational knockout stage in Paris. Other orgs rumored to apply to the franchise are Europe’s former powerhouse Origen, who are making a return to the League of Legends scene after months of silence, and Europe-based former NA LCS participants Team Dignitas and Team EnVyUs.

Riot will be accepting applications for the franchise until July 1st.

FNATIC vs. TEAM VITALITY

The most dominant EU LCS team meets the most unpredictable one in the other semifinal match, and both of them have a lot to fight for.

EU LCS semifinals are on this weekend, with the top four teams in the regular split standings all still in competition.
Saturday saw G2 take out Splyce 3-1, while the recently dominant Fnatic will be facing a shaky Vitality team in addition to some new roster issues.

Fnatic’s form has been looking similar to their glory days, and the chance to win a title after years of drought is what pushes them to play their hearts out. Vitality’s young squad, on the other hand, is fighting to reach their first ever LCS finals.

BETTING GUIDE: LEAGUE OF LEGENDS
STREAM GAME: HOW TO WATCH LOL ONLINE

Fnatic key players

Fnatic have been the most coherent and individually the best team this split. An MVP performance from their AD Carry Rekkles has him topping the charts in every relevant statistic, and the synergy between him and Hylissang makes them a nearly unbeatable bot lane. Fnatic love to play around Rekkles, and with Broxah often ganking early, their captain often gets to mid-game with a huge lead over the opposing ADC.

The other big carry on the team is mid laner Caps, who is having his best split to date. The talented Dane can play any meta champion on a high level, ranging from low-economy picks like Sion or Galio, to hard carries like Azir. He will have to watch out for Vitality’s mid-focused play, which already saw him fall to Gilius’s ganks and never catch up in one of their games earlier this split.

Vitality key players

Vitality, as it’s known, love to provide Jiizuke with all that is necessary to get him rolling. In spite of that, Minitroupax has also shown that he can be a valuable carry for his team, having been the main reason for the win over H2K in the quarters. His Caitlyn, Varus and Ashe are top tier, but I don’t think he will be able to shine as bright as earlier after going 2v2 with Jactroll against Rekkles and Hylissang. The main reason (except the quality of Fnatic’s bot lane) for this would be Jactrolls fairly shallow champion pool, which doesn’t hold much more than Tahm Kench and Janna.

Fnatic injury gives Team Vitality a lifeline

The main duel, however, will be in the top lane. Fnatic’s veteran sOAZ will have to sit the playoffs out due to an injury, and the young Bwipo will have to step in and do his best. Fnatic’s substitute top laner has shown good play in the few games he has played so far, but he will have to do his absolute best in the first BO5 of his career. Both Fnatic and Vitality prefer to leave top lane an island without much jungle help, and that could be good for Bwipo: Cabochard was never a proficient laner on his own, and picking a fairly safe champion like Sion will probably make Fnatic’s top lane stay relevant through the entire game.

Game Predictions

If sOAZ were able to play, a convincing win for Fnatic would be the most likely outcome here. With the substitution, it’s going to be significantly more difficult: Vitality‘s sometimes surprising strats could seriously disrupt the inexperienced top laner. Still, I think Fnatic are an amazing team, and they already did well with Bwipo in a couple of games. Vitality, on the other hand, have been looking disorganised and out of form for quite some time now, and a 3-1 or even 3-2 win for Fnatic is what I’d consider the most likely result.

Best bet: Fnatic to win -303.03 with BetOnline
