It’s a huge weekend in the League of Legends world as the Mid-Season Cup kicks off. The international event includes the top four teams from both China and Korea.
The Mid-Season Cup is similar to Rift Rivals, but teams represent themselves as individuals rather than their region.
※ Current Odds Date & Time: May 27th, 7:00 P.M. (EST)
Online bookmaker 18Bet has both JD Gaming and T1 at +350 to win the Cup.
Entering the Mid-Season Cup, JD Gaming are one of the best teams in the world and are listed at +350 to win the Cup outright. JD Gaming has picked up huge victories in 2020, including the LPL 2020 Spring Playoffs and LPL Scrims League.
T1 is the only other team in the tournament listed at +350 as well. T1 has not competed in as many tournaments as JD Gaming in 2020, but T1 picked up a win at the LCK 2020 Spring Playoffs.
Top Esports are poised to give both T1 and JD Gaming a run for their money. With that being said, Top Esports have struggled closing tournaments and league play out. They finished 2nd in the LPL Spring Playoffs, 2nd in the LPL 2019 Regional Finals and 2nd in LPL 2019 Summer. Could this be the tournament Top ESports comes out on top?
DAMWON Gaming owns the worst odds to win the Mid-Season Cup. Listed at +2000, they are heavy underdogs entering this tournament. Sitting in Group A with T1 and Top Esports doesn’t bode well for DAMWON. They most recently won the LCK 2019 Regional Finals, but have failed to place atop the leaderboard in 2020.
Can anyone take down T1 or JD Gaming? Top Esports seems like a viable option, but the odds are not in their favor.
