TEAM BDS vs ROGUE LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Rogue kicked off the 2025 LEC<\/a> season with a convincing victory against Team Heretics. Despite fielding a different roster, Rogue seem to have stuck to their preferred, slower style of play, which does not fit in with the current meta, but it has worked for them.<\/p>\n

Team BDS started the year with a rough loss against Team Vitality, who ran them over with a stronger draft. While BDS got outdrafted, they also did not play well, suggesting that the pre-season rankings had BDS way too high.<\/p>\n

It is hard to make any conclusions early into the new season, but Rogue are a much more stable team and an excellent bet at the current odds.<\/p>\n

MOVISTAR KOI vs TEAM VITALITY LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nKOI $1.57 at GG Bet<\/a> | Vitality $2.33 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJanuary 20, 2025 | 19:30 CET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Team Vitality had an excellent start to the year, especially their new mid laner, Mateusz “Czajek” Czajka, who quickly made a name for himself as one of the most exciting LEC rookies to follow.<\/p>\n

Known to be a volatile squad, Team Vitality still have a lot more to prove, namely that they can avoid shooting themselves in the foot\u2014like they did countless times in 2024. But based on what we have seen from them so far, Vitality are very solid.<\/p>\n

Movistar KOI, like Team Vitality, got off to an excellent start, beating Fnatic in a convincing fashion with strong individual performances from all five players. However, while KOI deserve recognition for their performance on the day, they do not deserve to be priced as such big favourites with the top LoL betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GIANTX vs KARMINE CORP LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nGX $2.45 at GG Bet<\/a> | KC $1.50 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJanuary 20, 2025 | 21:00 CET<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nLolesports, Twitch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

A very clean performance from GIANTX against SK Gaming put them on the map as one of the dark horses to compete for a top-three finish this split. The ex-Fnatic bottom lane continued where they left off in 2024 and introduced new life to the team, although the rookie top laner Eren “Lot” Y\u0131ld\u0131z also deserves a lot of praise for his performance on the day.<\/p>\n

Karmine Corp performed admirably well against G2 Esports and joined the list of teams that outperformed expectations on the first day of the new season. Unlike the 2024 Karmine Corp, they played smarter and more composed, which is a good sign for their title hopes.<\/p>\n

Karmine Corp took a bigger scalp on day one of LEC 2025 Winter, but GIANTX looked just as clean in their victory. GIANTX should not be priced much higher than even money.<\/p>\n
