Bilibili Gaming will defend their League of Legends Pro League (LPL) title on Friday, August 30, when they clash with Weibo Gaming in the LPL 2024 Summer Playoffs grand final. The two sides already met in the upper bracket semifinals when BLG won, and based on the latest LoL betting odds, they are expected to come out ahead again.
Zhuo “knight” Ding and co. took care of business a week ago when they clashed with Weibo and once before during the regular season, so it is hard to question their ability to win on Friday. But even though the last fixture ended in a 3-0 sweep, the final result does not tell the whole story.
It was a competitive game that could have easily ended another way, but Bilibili Gaming narrowly kept winning most of the skirmishes. Weibo weren’t bad on the day, Bilibili Gaming were just slightly better.
Since then, BLG and Weibo have both beaten Top Esports, with 3-1 and 3-2, the latter being more interesting, as all five maps were complete stomps – one way or the other. It was an extremely solid performance from the outsiders, who schooled Top Esports despite mid laner Li “Xiaohu” Yuan-Hao playing exceptionally poorly.
That win also proved that Weibo Gaming’s ceiling is very high; it’s only a matter of consistency and whether they can produce another showing like it on Friday. Not that Weibo is known for being reliable, but they have shown two excellent performances heading into the grand finals.
This is still Bilibili Gaming’s game to lose, as they are stronger, but only slightly. At +474 with the top LoL betting sites, Weibo Gaming are criminally underrated and an excellent bet to win a map and as a smaller position on the +1.5 maps market.
