ESB is back with more League of Legends betting predictions for LoL Pro League (LPL) 2022 Summer. Here are our selections for Victory Five vs FunPlus Phoenix and Royal Never Give Up vs Weibo Gaming, with both games scheduled for Tuesday, June 21.
VICTORY FIVE vs FUNPLUS PHOENIX LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | V5 $1.36 at Betway | FPX $3.00 at Betway |

FunPlus Phoenix have not started the summer split the way they’d like and head into the third week of the split with a 0-3 record. However, they had to face EDward Gaming (1-2), Invictus Gaming (0-2), and Royal Never Give Up (1-2), so we should give the former LoL world champions some slack.
Victory Five have looked way better across the opening two rounds of LPL 2022 Summer, albeit they had only won against ThunderTalk Gaming and LGD Gaming (both 2-0), which is hardly impressive. V5 played well in both games, but they have yet to be properly tested.
There is no good reason to have V5 priced as $1.36 favourites for this match. They might be better individually, but not by much, and we don’t know whether they’re good enough to compete against top teams. It’s also worth noting that FPX added Park “Summit” Woo-tae to the lineup this weekend, which should introduce a more stable top side.
FunPlus Phoenix with a +1.5 handicap at $1.61 is an easy choice at the offered LoL esports odds. A half-unit wager on FPX to cause an upset is also worth considering.

ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP vs WEIBO GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | RNG $1.53 at Betway | WBG $2.37 at Betway |
| When: | June 21, 2022 | 20:00 CST |

Royal Never Give Up are technically the current best team in the world, but we have seen them play just one game on the new patch (2-1 against FPX). Due to their lack of games this split, it’s tough to say how good RNG will be; however, they’re rightly priced as the favourites against Weibo Gaming.
Weibo Gaming are a very stacked squad and potential LPL title candidates. However, defending that statement is tough following their 0-2 defeat against EDward Gaming and an unconvincing 2-1 victory against Team WE.
Betting against Weibo Gaming is tricky because this team can pop-off at any given moment and give a hard time even to the league’s top teams. But we have yet to see that side of Weibo Gaming, so it comes down to whether we trust our eyes or put more weight on Weibo’s potential.
At $2.37, Weibo Gaming might be an appealing pick, but the number is way too low for our taste. Likewise, we don’t like RNG at $1.53 even though they should win. Weibo are good enough to put up a fight and steal one map, so we’ll take over 2.5 maps at even money.
