DETONATION FOCUSME vs LOUD LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

DetonatioN FocusMe strike us as a team that will be surprisingly bad this tournament, at least relative to what most people expect from them. At MSI 2022<\/a>, DFM had some solid showings, but that doesn’t change the fact that they crashed out of the first stage with a 1-5 record.<\/p>\n

Since then, DetonatioN FocusMe haven’t improved, and they don’t look nearly as scary as they were at LoL Worlds 2021, with mid laner Lee “Aria” Ga-eul, despite their domestic dominance.<\/p>\n

LOUD won’t win the play-in stage, and they likely won’t make it out of the group, but as history has taught us, Brazilian LoL teams are very dangerous underdogs. Their aggressive playstyle will catch many off-guard – particularly the likes of DFM, who are not an early-game team.<\/p>\n

Even though DetonatioN FocusMe should win purely off the better talent, we wouldn’t back them at the offered LoL betting<\/a> odds. LOUD are an excellent outsider bet and our favourite pick for the first round of the play-ins.<\/p>\n

DRX vs ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nDRX $2.50 at GG Bet<\/a> | RNG $1.50 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nSeptember 29, 2022 | 22:00 CDT<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Royal Never Give Up are arguably the best team across both play-in groups, and barring any major upsets, they should win Group B. However, due to all the hype surrounding RNG, it’s very easy to believe that DRX are a class below.<\/p>\n

That perception comes mainly from DRX’s unconvincing performances in the LoL Champions Korea (LCK), but it’s easy to look bad when you’re losing to the likes of T1, Gen.G, and DWG KIA. DRX are a solid team who aren’t getting much respect, and they definitely shouldn’t be priced as high as $2.50 against Royal Never Give Up.<\/p>\n

Not only is this a best-of-one (Bo1) series, but the teams have only recently started playing on a new patch (12.18), which raises the question of which squads will do well in the new meta. But from what we can speculate, the new meta will make the ADC role far less impactful, which works against how RNG want to play.<\/p>\n

Opening games of the LoL Worlds play-in stage are usually filled with upsets, although DRX beating Royal Never Give Up would not be a massive shock. At $2.50 with GG Bet<\/a>, DRX are a no-brainer pick.<\/p>\n
