Bet365 eSports Betting

With the second semi final in the 2015 League of Legends World Championships taking place today in Brussels between KOO Tigers and Fnatic, to decide who gets the dubious honour of taking onLeague of Legends 2015 Bet365 the unbeaten Team SK Telecom T1 in the final, we’ll bring you more on the final next week when we know who SKT’s opponents will be in the Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin.

Whoever gets that honour faces an incredibly difficult task given that SK Telecom T1 have won all of their matches and not only that, they have won every one of the best of three and best of five games that they have played in the tournament so far.

This means that the South Korean giants head into the final not even having lost a single leg of any match and with a game record of 12-0. That is a record that neither Fnatic or KOO Tigers can come close to matching.

So with the League of Legends Worlds seemingly on an inexorable path to confirming Team SK Telecom T1’s domination of that eSport genre (Bet365 Sport now has them at 1/4 to win the event outright), we’re going to focus this week on a trio of other events across three other popular eSports, starting with a match up that will decide the winner of an individual StarCraft 2 tournament.

Kung Fu Cup Final Will Decide The Champion Starcraft 2 Player

Starcraft 2 Bet365 BettingAfter the eight individual players from the group stage made it through to the playoffs, the 2015 Kung Fu Cup Season 2 saw something of a surprise in the first two quarter final match ups. In the first game, favourite soO was defeated 3-2 by Stats while in the second game, Bly was forced to forfeit his match with Trap when losing 2-0 due to a power outage in his native Ukraine.

That meant the first semi final was between Stats and Trap and it was Stats who progressed through to the final thanks to a narrow 3-2 victory over his South Korean compatriot.

All four other players remaining in the event at the quarter final stages were South Korean and it was Live and Zest who made the semi finals in the bottom half of the draw. Life defeating PartinG 3-2 and Zest beating Stork 3-1. In their semi final clash it was Life who progressed to Monday’s final on the back of a strong 3-1 win over Zest.

That means Monday’s final is between the two players who finished first and second in Group B of the initial group stage. When they met back then it was Life who emerged victorious, his Zerg team defeating Stats Protoss team 2-1

If you go by WCS ranking, Life (ranked 4th) is the strong favourite against 23rd ranked Stats. Bet365 has priced up Life to win Monday’s final at odds of 4/6, while Stats is the 11/10 outside shot if you fancy a flutter on who will win this top StarCraft 2 individual event.

Nanyang Championships Sees 16 Of The Best Dota 2 Teams Face Off

This week sees the start of one of the best Dota 2 tournaments in the world as ten of the very best teams head to Singapore to compete in what is one of South East Asia’s biggest Dota 2 events, the DOTA 2 esports bettingNanyang Championships.

The tournament starts with the group phase with the ten teams drawn into two groups. The top two teams in each group qualify for the Semi Finals, with the winner going on to the Winners Final and the winner of that heading into the Grand Final.

The winners of these matches then face the losers of the playoff semi finals and then the winners of these match play off in the Losers Round 3.

Even then the losing team has to play off against the losing team from the winners final before the victor of that match can claim a place in the Grand Final.

The groups have been drawn as thus:

  • Group A – Virtus.pro, CDEC Gaming, Vici Gaming, Team Liquid and Mineski
  • Group B – Team Secret, LGD Gaming, Fnatic, EHOME, Digital Chaos
