The 2018 European League of Legends Championship Series (EU LCS)<\/a> is about to kick off its fifth season with a revamped structure and action-packed Spring Split and we’ve got all the best bets tips and value bets right here.<\/p>\n

The EU LCS spring tournament will see 10 teams duke it out for top spot in Europe, and will feature four of the best teams from the previous LCS summer season, winners of the EU LCS Summer playoffs and winners of the EU LCS Spring Promotion. The team that takes home the crown for the Spring Split will get invited to the 2018 Mid Season Invitational, sandwiched between the Spring and Summer Split later this year, for an additional shot at glory.<\/p>\n

With major changes to the EU League this year – which includes the removal of mid-year promotion\/relegation and the return to a single league, double round robin Bo1 (Best of 1) tournament format – it will be easier than ever for hardcore fans and curious newbies to jump in and start rooting for their favourite professional League of Legends esport teams<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Nearly every single team in the 2018 EU LCS Spring Split could prove to be potential dark horses, making our week-to-week betting opportunities all the more interesting. With the exception of Fnatic, every team has had massive roster shake-ups that will make the playing field a lot less predictable. With the tournament changing back to one game played per match, we fully expect there to be plenty of upsets and new strategies accustomed to steam-rolling the competition in a shorter period of time rather than the long and often agonising Bo3 events we endured last year.<\/p>\n

Here are our best picks for Week 1 of the 2018 League of Legends EU LCS Spring Split.<\/p>\n
