The League of Legends World Championship is the most watched Esports event, and millions from around the world will be rooting for their regions\u2019 teams. Two teams from each of the four groups will advance to the knockout rounds, and there are a lot more than bragging rights on the line given the prize pool numbers being discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2020 League of Legends World Championship Group Stage Betting Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teams to Qualify from Group C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gen. G -667<br>Fnatic +120<br>LGD Gaming +180<br>Team SoloMid +200<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Korean teams have received far too much respect over the last couple years given their shortcomings on the international stage, and that is the case with Gen. G here. They were the third-best team in the LCK during 2020, and they only have two world-class players on their roster. Mid laner BDD can compete with almost anyone at his position, and Ruler has been the S-Tier bottom laner in the region for the last four years. However, there are concerns at the other three positions, so it is wise to avoid them as this much of a favorite by the League of Legends betting odds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LGD Gaming are a much better choice, and their odds to win the Group Stage are the best value <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/esports\">on the board<\/a>. They were nearly eliminated after a dismal performance in the Play-In Stage, but they found their stride when push came to shove. Peanut is a very experienced jungler who is a game changer in his role, while both Langx and xiye are quality laners. The LPL has been the best region in the world for the last two years, so I\u2019m willing to go on a little faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other choice in this group is Fnatic. It\u2019s been a somewhat disappointing year for this European squad, but they have a ton of experience on this stage. Selfmade is a quality jungler, and Rekkles is the most experienced bottom laner at Worlds. They are a much better team than Team SoloMid, so betting on Fnatic and LGD Gaming to get out of the Group Stage should guarantee a small profit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Teams to Qualify from Group B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top Esports -5000<br>DragonX -1000<br>Unicorns of Love +800<br>FlyQuest +2800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The odds on Top Esports are absurd. They are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/esports\">favorites to win it all<\/a> heading into this year\u2019s League of Legends World Championship, and they are -250 to win this group. There is no doubt they should be heavy favorites, but they are unbettable at this price. While they are easily the most talented team in Group D, anything can happen in a double round robin tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No respect is being given to FlyQuest. The No. 2 seed out of North America has the longest odds to advance out of the Group Stage. This team just doesn\u2019t have many talented players outside of PowerOfEvil though, and the LCS is probably the weakest it has been in five years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unicorns of Love are a very nice bet at 8-1 to advance though. While DragonX are more talented, they have had some major issues in pick and ban with their team compositions. UOL were able to get on stage and see what worked and what didn\u2019t in the Play-In Stage, so they have a good shot of knocking off DRX to get into the knockout rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Follow our&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/betonline_ag\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Twitter account<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;for the latest sports news and wagering odds, and come to our&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/betonline_ag\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Instagram<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;for more useful betting info too.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next four weeks will be the most exciting in the Esports world this year.
