July 18 promises to be an action-packed day in the world of League of Legends: the playoff matches of the Esports World Cup 2025 kick off, and the regular season continues in the NA Challengers League. We've selected four intriguing betting options—focusing on team form, match format, and bookmaker odds.

T1 will defeat Movistar KOI (odds 1.10)

The clear favorite in this matchup is T1. The Korean powerhouse confidently advanced through the group stage and consistently shows a high level of discipline and execution. KOI is unlikely to pose a challenge in the Bo3 format: the gap in class, experience, and drafts is too significant. A low-risk bet on one of the tournament's most stable teams.

Gen.G Esports will beat FlyQuest (odds 1.10)

Gen.G is one of the main contenders for the title. Although FlyQuest showed respectable play in the group stage, they are unlikely to compete with the Korean superclub over the course of a series. Their superiority in macro play, hero pool, and stability makes Gen.G the clear favorite. A confident bet on class.

DarkZero Dragonsteel will defeat ConViction (odds 1.48)

In the opening matches of the Challengers League, DarkZero looks more favorable. The team has a more experienced roster, strong performances in splits, and aggressive early gameplay. ConViction are newcomers with inconsistent form. In a Bo1 format, any mistake can cost the victory, but DarkZero should manage.

Supernova will beat Dorado Gaming (odds 1.48)

Supernova heads into the series with a decent win rate and a stable draft line. Dorado often falters during the laning phase and struggles to adapt to fast strategies. In Bo1, this is critical—and Supernova has every chance to exploit their opponent's weaknesses. A bet with a respectable odds.
