LNG Esports (1.55) vs Bilibili Gaming (2.35) (5:00 am ET)

This will be the eighth meeting between LNG Esports and Bilibili Gaming. LNG Esports has won five of the first seven encounters, while Bilibili Gaming has won the other two. Bilibili Gaming last won in the rivalry in the LPL Summer 2019 Group Stage (Week 1-5), but LNG Esports won the most recent matchup, in LPL Spring 2020 Group Stage (Week 1-4) play.

LNG Esports started LPL Summer 2020 Group Stage play with a 2-1 record but has dropped three matches in a row, losing to eStar, Oh My God and Vici Gaming — all teams with sub-.500 records. Bilibili Gaming opened the summer season with a pair of losses before beating eStar. Since then, they have lost to Victory Five and Top Esports, the top two teams in the league. I’m going to take the added value of Bilibili Gaming because they had a nice win before losing to two of the league’s elite.

Royal Never Give Up (1.92) vs Team WE (1.88) (7:00 am ET)

Both of these teams come in with 4-2 records in LPL Summer 2020 Group Stage play. They have met four times in the past, with Royal Never Give Up winning three times and Team WE winning once. Team WE’s win came back in July 2016.

Royal Never Give Up’s two losses in summer play have come against LNG Esports and Victory Five. Team WE has lost to Suning Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix. In a match that looks too close to call, I’m going with the slightly higher value (and Royal Never Give Up’s historical edge in the series).
