The aggro approach worked on Splyce because they lacked nuance themselves, but Vitality have shown they\u2019re a whole other ball game.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Bet on Vitality to win at Betway.com\" href=\"\/go\/betway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vitality to beat Fnatic &#8211; 2.75 at Betway.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Schalke 04 vs. Unicorns of Love<\/h2>\n<p>The Schalke 04 rookie to watch, Elias \u2018Upset\u2019 Lipp, called in sick, but mid-laner Erlend V\u00e5tevik \u2018Nukeduck\u2019 Holm showed proven experience is more than enough to secure the Rift.<\/p>\n<p>Nukeduck\u2019s near solo steamrolling of ROCCAT last week with Ryze was incredible, as was Upset\u2019s support fill-in Oskar \u2018VandeR\u2019 Bogdan, who turned around a 3v5 engagement with a triple kill and set the tone for the rest of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Other than some early split-pushing from Fabian \u2018Exileh\u2019 Schubert which was well executed, Unicorn of Love were on the back-foot the entire opening weekend.<\/p>\n<p>The 04 mistakenly let the Misfits get the long-game foothold, but we don\u2019t think UoL\u2019s current track record gives any indication they\u2019ll be able to do the same here.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Bet on Schalke 04 to win at Betway.com\" href=\"\/go\/betway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schalke 04 to beat Unicorns of Love &#8211; 1.40 at Betway.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EsportBet.com&#8217;s betting predictions and team rankings for Week 2 of the League of Legends 2018 EU LCS Spring Split.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3020,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ghostkit_customizer_options":"","ghostkit_custom_css":"","ghostkit_custom_js_head":"","ghostkit_custom_js_foot":"","ghostkit_typography":"","wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[88,4,186,24,104,108,107,110,105,187],"class_list":["post-3017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-predictions","tag-eu-lcs","tag-featured","tag-h2k","tag-league-of-legends","tag-misfits","tag-roccat","tag-schalke-04","tag-splyce","tag-unicorns-of-love","tag-vitality"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3017"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3017"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3017\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3459,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3017\/revisions\/3459"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/esportbet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
