Team BDS started the LoL EMEA Championship 2024 Summer campaign with a perfect record. They beat Team Vitality and Team Heretics and closed out the first week of the summer split with a massive victory against G2 Esports.
Team BDS’ victory against G2 looks excellent on paper, but they had some very questionable moments in that game. So, while they deserve some praise, the final result was primarily thanks to G2 not playing as well as expected.
SK Gaming also had a solid start to the summer season, beating Rogue, G2 Esports, and GIANTX. But while their results look similar to Team BDS’, SK Gaming showed better coordination and far more stability.
This is a clash between two European LoL teams that are serious candidates to finish the season in third place. But in the first week of play, SK Gaming showed more overall, making them an obvious pick at outsider odds.

FNATIC vs ROGUE LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

| Best Odds: | Fnatic $1.21 at GG Bet | Rogue $4.16 at GG Bet |

Fnatic did what was expected of them in the first week of LEC 2024 Summer, with comfortable wins against Karmine Corp, GIANTX, and Team Vitality. In some of the fixtures, Fnatic looked a bit rough early but blew things wide open in the mid-late game.
Rogue didn’t look great last week, but they still managed to pick up one win against the unconvincing Team Vitality. Yet they don’t deserve much praise for that, as Rogue would’ve lost had Vitality not thrown away multiple winning positions.
Rogue are the same team we saw in the LEC 2024 Spring; they’ve shown no notable improvement so far. Now they’re set to face a team that is more than capable of punishing mistakes, which should lead to a very one-sided game.
Fnatic -9.5 kills
MAD LIONS KOI vs TEAM VITALITY LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | KOI $1.80 at GG Bet | Vitality $1.90 at GG Bet |

MAD Lions KOI had an atrocious showing in the first week of the split. They lost to G2 Esports, which isn’t too worrying, but it’s hard to ignore their loss to Karmine Corp.
MAD were over 3k gold up at 20 minutes and extended that lead to over 10k gold at 30 minutes, yet they threw it away by forcing unnecessary fights. The main theme of the week was poor macro and questionable team compositions.
Team Vitality don’t deserve much praise for their LEC 2024 Summer Week 1 displays either. After showing a high degree of consistency last split, Vitality seemingly returned to their old ways, doing random things on the Summoner’s Rift without any plans.
Both Vitality and MAD Lions KOI have a lot to prove this week, and as the offered betting odd suggest, there’s no telling which side is worse. But both teams like to fight and make errors, which should result in a scrappy and bloody affair.
Over 27.5 kills
TEAM HERETICS vs KARMINE CORP LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Heretics $1.65 at GG Bet | KC $2.19 at GG Bet |

Despite picking up just one win last week, Team Heretics are priced as favourites to defeat Karmine Corp with the best LoL betting sites. This doesn’t have as much to do with Heretics’ quality as it has with Karmine Corp’s lacklustre showings.
Karmine Corp entered LEC 2024 Summer with much to prove after their abysmal run through LEC 2024 Spring, yet they’ve proved just one thing: their macro understanding is one of the worst in the league. At least Karmine Corp have capable players, which helped them overcome Rogue and MAD Lions KOI — but even in those games, KC’s success was largely due to their opponents playing worse.
Team Heretics are not as good as Fnatic, G2 Esports, or even Team BDS and SK Gaming. But they’re much stabler than Karmine Corp, who are incredibly sloppy and not a team we’d trust our money with.
