The season is in full swing: China, Korea, and Brazil offer us a packed day with promising matches. We've selected five showdowns where good form, tournament motivation, and analytical value come together.

Bilibili Gaming to defeat Ninjas in Pyjamas (odds 1.58)

At 12:00 UTC, at the start of the Ascend group in the Chinese split of LPL Split 2 2025, Bilibili Gaming will face NiP. BLG appears significantly more confident: they consistently win the macro game and work cohesively in the late game. NiP has yet to find a stable pace and often falls behind on the map. A win for BLG (1.58) is a bet on class and experience at the start of the season.

Keyd Stars Academy to defeat Corinthians Esports (odds 1.30)

At 02:00, as part of the Circuito Desafiante in Brazil, the Keyd Stars Academy will meet Corinthians. KSA dominates most matches, especially in the early stages. Corinthians are just finding their form and struggle to respond to aggressive drafts. A win for Keyd (1.30) is a bet on structure and pace.

Nongshim RedForce Academy to defeat BRION Challengers (odds 1.65)

At 11:00 UTC, the Korean LCK CL match will begin. The Nongshim Academy demonstrates mature macro play and confidently engages in team fights. BRION, on the other hand, relies heavily on one or two players and loses when they are neutralized. A win for NSR (1.65) is a bet on stability and draft depth.

JD Gaming to defeat Invictus Gaming (odds 1.52)

At 14:00, we have another Chinese clash in LPL Split 2 2025. JDG has maintained their core and shows aggression in the jungle with precise rotations. IG is experimenting with new strategies but still looks unpolished. Betting on JDG (1.52) is a choice in favor of cohesion and strong individual performance.

DRX Challengers to defeat Hanwha Life Esports Challengers (odds 1.22)

At 13:00, DRX will take on the HLE Academy. DRX confidently controls the early game and effectively capitalizes on advantages. HLE takes risks but lacks execution. A win for DRX (1.22) is a logical choice against an unstable opponent.

These matches are an excellent opportunity to use logic, meta, and team form for well-thought-out predictions. Don't let emotions sway you: trust the analytics and keep an eye on changes in the scene.
