On May 3, we're in for another packed day in League of Legends: opening matches in the LCK, continuation of the Ascend group in the LPL, and the start of the regular season in the LEC. We've selected five of the most intriguing bets for the day — with analysis, team form, and current odds.

Gen.G will easily defeat Dplus KIA (odds 1.20)

At 09:00 Central European Time, Gen.G will face Dplus KIA in the LCK. Gen.G is among the strongest teams globally: steady growth, top-notch individual skills, and powerful synergy. Dplus KIA had a disappointing spring split and have yet to show signs of significant progress. A Gen.G victory (1.20) is a reliable choice to start the gaming day.

Team WE might edge out the inconsistent NIP (odds 1.80)

At 10:00, the match between Team WE and Ninjas in Pyjamas kicks off in the LPL. WE finished the spring with strong play, and their synergy and champion selection indicate quality preparation. NIP has good individual performers, but their team play suffers — especially in the late game. A Team WE victory (1.80) seems like a justified decision for a solo bet.

Top Esports will confidently begin the split against IG (odds 1.45)

At 14:00, TES will clash with Invictus Gaming. TES is traditionally among the favorites in China and rarely falters in opening matches. IG can surprise, but unstable play on the bot lane and frequent macro errors create problems. A TES victory (1.45) is a logical choice for an accumulator.

Fnatic is simply stronger than BDS (odds 1.20)

At 18:00, the match between Fnatic and Team BDS begins in the LEC. Fnatic had a confident spring and retained their core roster. BDS, on the other hand, continues to experiment with their lineup and strategies, which have yet to yield results. A Fnatic victory (1.20) is a choice with minimal risk.

BNK FEARX will outplay DRX in class (odds 1.48)

At 11:00, DRX will face BNK FEARX in the LCK. Despite the close odds, BNK looks much more cohesive: clear picks, strong mid-game, and disciplined style. DRX is still finding their footing and often struggles in team fights. A BNK FEARX victory (1.48) is a bet with a good balance of risk and reward.

May 3 is a great day for those who prefer betting on favorites with proven levels. The start of the split is when class advantage is particularly important. Be attentive, keep an eye on form, and don't forget about bankroll management.
