Week four of the 2022 LPL Summer Split continues with two matches that could have major consequences for the losers with all four of the teams in action sitting outside of the top six. Our resident League of Legends tipster has provided his best bets for Thursday’s LoL matches.

Both Bilibili Gaming and Invictus Gaming will enter their week four match-up with the exact same record, with both teams sitting at 1-4 in 14th and 15th place, respectively.
Bilibili Gaming have lost their last three matches to Anyone’s Legend, Top Esports and Edward Gaming, after they started their Summer Split with a loss to LNG Esports and their only win to date over Ultra Prime coming in week two. This is an underwhelming start for the team who finished in eighth-place in the LPL Spring Split and made it to the final eight in the playoffs.
Bilibili Gaming have added Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin from the LPL Spring and Mid-Season Invitational champions, Royal Never Give Up, but it seems that the change has not improved this Bilibili Gaming roster, as the team has gone backwards this Split compared to their really good Spring Split.
Invictus Gaming have also lost their last three games to the exact same teams that Bilibili Gaming has in their last three. Invictus Gaming, much like Bilibili Gaming, started their Split with a loss and registered their only win in week two, giving us a good form reference to go off for this match. Invictus Gaming struggled in the Spring Split, finishing 14th of 17 with an overall record of 5-11, so with the slow start that they have begun the Summer Split with, it isn’t really surprising where they sit in the standings after three weeks of the Summer Split.
With both teams struggling to start the Split, we should see a good match up here between two teams looking for their second win. We see some value in the total maps market, with over 2.5 maps paying $2 with esports betting sites.

ROYAL NEVER GIVE UP vs OMG LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

---|---|
Best Odds: | RNG $1.14 at Betway | OMG $5.00 at Betway |

The second match of the day brings us the reigning LPL champions, Royal Never Give Up, taking on OMG with both teams in the mid-table battle owning records of 2-1 and 2-3, respectively.
RNG have started off the Summer Split rather slowly with all three of their matches going the distance to three maps, with the reigning champions running out victorious over Weibo Gaming and FPX but they lost their last match against Victory Five. The reigning LPL and Mid-Season Invitational champions have made one change from their Spring Split to their Summer Split with the addition of Chen “Breathe” Chen in the top-lane taking over from Chen “Bin” Ze-Bin who departed to play for Bilibili Gaming. With RNG starting quite slow, this could be a danger game for them as OMG enter this match on a two-game win streak.
OMG started the LPL Summer Split on a three-game losing streak but have since won their last two games in a row over LNG Esports and LGD Gaming. OMG only just missed out on playoffs in the Spring Split after their team contracted COVID-19 and had to take two weeks off. This meant that they played their last three matches over three days to end the Split, where they lost all three. If OMG can get a good run of health and a bit of luck this Split, the boys from OMG could easily push for playoffs and could surprise a team like RNG in this match.
With all three of RNG’s matches going to three maps and OMG in some great form leading into the match, we believe that over 2.5 maps will be the best play for this match-up.
