The reigning LoL world champions, EDward Gaming, enter this bout as heavy favourites, which may seem fair, but $1.12 is a high price to pay for a roster that has been out of action since November. Admittedly, EGD are still one of the favourites to win the LPL title ($5.00), but ring rust could affect their performances in the earlier rounds of the new season.
JD Gaming failed to achieve much last term, and based on the team’s roster moves during the offseason, it’s hard to have a lot of faith in them heading into the 2022 LPL Spring. The team lost ADC Lee “LokeN” Dong-wook, support Zuo “LvMao” Ming-Hao, and top laner Zhang “Zoom” Xing-Ran and replaced them with Wang “Hope” Jie, Lou “Missing” Yun-Feng, and Bai “369” Jia-Hao, who are sidegrades at best.
But while we don’t expect JDG to compete for the title, this team still has enough talent to compete at the highest level and shouldn’t be priced as high as $5.50 for this bout. EDG are still one of the strongest teams in the world, but they’re rusty and susceptible to drop at least one map.

LGD Gaming vs ANYONE’S LEGEND LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LOL Betting Odds: | LGD $2.62 at GG Bet | AL $1.44 at GG Bet |

LGD Gaming enter the 2022 season with a new-look roster, featuring ADC He “Eric” Qiang and mid laners Ji “YeG” Xin-Yu and Chen “Jay” Bo as the newest additions. Overall, LGD has made some smart moves with the roster changes, but they haven’t really upgraded enough for us to believe they can compete for a top-10 finish.
Anyone’s Legend (formerly Rogue Warriors) haven’t made any notable changes this offseason either and enter the 2022 LPL Spring as one of the outsiders ($67.00) to win the trophy. ADC Lu “Betty” Yu-Hung and mid laner Huang “Maple” Yi-Tang are the only two players who you could consider good enough to compete at this level of play. In contrast, the rest of the team features unknown and unproven talent, putting a huge question mark above Anyone’s Legend’s long-term success.
There isn’t much to separate these two teams talent-wise, and there is no reason to have LGD Gaming priced as $2.62 underdogs with the online betting sites. They aren’t necessarily better than Anyone’s Legend, but LGD Gaming aren’t that much worse either. This seems like a 50/50 match, so we have to take LGD Gaming at the outsider odds.
