2020 League of Legends World Championship Grand Finals
SUNING vs DAMWON GAMING LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| LoL Betting Odds: | Suning +210 at BetOnline | DWG -263.16 at BetOnline |
| When: | October 31, 2020 at 18:00 CST |
| Watch Live: | Lolesports, Twitch |
Suning’s chances to defeat DAMWON Gaming and hoist their first Summoner’s Cup seem very slim, largely due to their opponents’ individual quality and immaculate macro play. That is not to say Suning have played poorly, but DWG have looked much cleaner in their wins.
DWG look stronger than Suning in every lane, although jungler Lê “SofM” Quang Duy and ADC Tang “huanfeng” Huan-Feng can potentially hold their own against the Koreans. However, since Suning rely heavily on huanfeng to perform, it’s highly likely Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu will set up a tent in the bot side and funnel resources into Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun.
All of the last three LoL World Championship grand finals ended 3-0, and it seems we might be in for another sweep this weekend unless Suning cause a massive upset. DWG should cover the 1.5 line with ease.

AMONG US vs MOTIVADE.TRUST GAMING DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | AUs +137 at BetOnline | Draw +114 | MTG +377 |
| When: | October 31, 2020 at 14:00 PHST |

Among Us have defeated Neon Esports, TEAM STAR and Army Geniuses, but they had to settle for stalemates against Adroit Esports, TNC Predator and BOOM Esports. Motivade.Trust Gaming, meanwhile, have gone 3-1-0 thus far, although they have yet to face any of the favourites.
Even though we can’t say for certain how MTG will do against stronger teams, it does not seem right to have the reigning BTS Pro Series champions priced at +377. At these odds, it would be rude not to throw a few dollars on the outsiders to win.

TNC PREDATOR vs MOTIVADE.TRUST GAMING DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | TNC +286 at BetOnline | Draw +104 | MTG +286 |

TNC Predator did not impress us with their most recent showings, but nor were they particularly bad. They picked up convincing wins over some weaker teams but managed only stalemates against Among Us, Neon Esports and Army Geniuses.
Motivade.Trust Gaming have shown similar form but have yet to face a tough opponent, so it’s uncertain how well they do against TNC on Saturday. The last time MTG met with TNC was during the BTS Pro Series in September, when they won 2-0 after a comeback win on the second map.
There is a chance Motivade can defeat TNC Predator again, but betting on the draw makes more sense to us.
Draw
NEON ESPORTS vs ADROIT ESPORTS DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | Neon +286 at BetOnline | Draw +104 | Adroit +286 |

Esports bookmakers predict this bout is likely to end in a draw, which seems fair considering both teams have their issues. Still, Neon Esports are unbeaten in their last six games. That run includes stalemates against BOOM Esports, TNC Predator and Motivade.Trust Gaming, which is fairly impressive for a team of their calibre.
We are far less convinced with Adroit’s performances, especially with their draw against 496 Gaming on Wednesday and their 0-2 loss to MTG a day prior. Therefore, it’s hard not to back the in-form Neon at good odds.

4 ZOOMERS vs BEASTCOAST DOTA 2 BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Dota 2 Betting Odds: | 4Z +189 at BetOnline | Draw +105 | Adroit +276 |

4 Zoomers have clashed with beastcoast four times in 2020. They swept the Peruvian squad in all of their first three meetings from June through August, but it was beastcoast who got their revenge last month with a 2-0 sweep during the group stage of BTS Pro Series Season 3 Americas.
These teams have shown similar form this tournament, but we have to value 4 Zoomers’ efforts slightly higher since beastcoast lost to Team Zero and Quincy Crew in their last two fixtures. 4Z also lost to Quincy Crew recently, but they won their clashes with Spirits Esports and Thunder Predator.
There are arguments to be made in favour of beastcoast to get up again, but it’s hard to bet against the favourites at the odds offered.
