ESB’s free League of Legends betting picks for Tuesday, October 5 focus on three 2021 LoL World Championship Play-in matches. Here are our predictions for Infinity vs RED Canids, Cloud9 vs DetonatioN FocusMe, and Galatasaray Esports vs Unicorns of Love.

There is no reason for the bookmakers to offer such high LoL betting odds on Infinity for a best-of-one (Bo1) match against a team with a similar playstyle. While you could make a case for RED Canids as a team with better individual talent, there’s more that goes into predicting the final outcome.
The main two things to look out for are how will the players deal with the pressure of playing on the big stage and how the squads will match up stylistically. While we don’t know the answer to the first question, we can say that infinity and RED Canids will produce a highly entertaining game due to their aggressive style of play.
The Liga Latinoamérica (LLA) and Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL) are two regions with some of the highest Combined Kills Per Minute (CKPM) stats at the tournament; hence a fast-paced fixture is on the cards for Tuesday, and games like that offer plenty of opportunities for the underdogs to cause an upset.

CLOUD9 vs DETONATION LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | C9 $1.41 at Betway | DFM $2.77 at Betway |

When betting on the opening games of any tournament or league, keep in mind that these games are underdogs’ best chance to cause an upset. That especially holds true for international competitions and matches between teams who have never met before.
You could argue that Cloud9 field better individual talent, but it’s not fair to say that DetonatioN FocusMe lack quality. They have solid pieces in all five roles, yet their star player is Lee “Aria” Ga-eul, who has already proven his worth at the 2021 Mid-Season Invitational.
Cloud9 should win more times than not, but if they haven’t improved upon their showings in the 2021 LoL Championship Series (LCS), we wouldn’t be surprised if they slip. We will side with DFM to cause an upset, mainly because Cloud9 are not consistent enough for us to back them at the offered LoL betting odds.

UNICORNS OF LOVE VS GALATASARAY ESPORTS LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | UoL $2.02 at Betway | Galatasaray $1.74 at Betway |

League of Legends Continental League (LCL) teams are historically very unpleasant to play against due to their “all or nothing” mentality. Still, the CIS squads have struggled to achieve much at the recent LoL World Championships.
When you play against LCL teams is more about avoiding a defeat than winning, which makes them a scary underdog to face. However, like the LCL, the Turkish Championship League (TCL) is no stranger to the all-out style. The only difference is that the TCL fields far more talent.
While this is a Bo1 match, we have far more faith in Galatasaray Esports, mainly because UoL are not as good as they once were. We’re ready for UoL to prove us wrong, but as it stands now, Galatasaray seem a class above the Russians.
