FlyQuest went 1-1 last week, with a loss against Team Liquid and a win against Immortals. The loss against Liquid was a bit surprising, but TL were the better team, gaining a significant advantage through the bottom lane.
A similar thing happened in FlyQuest’s defeat against Evil Geniuses a week prior, when Lee “Prince” Chae-hwan failed to deliver. We expect to see some improvement, but it’s fair to say that FlyQuest are no longer the undisputed top dogs of the LCS.
Cloud9 are on the upswing with five consecutive wins to their names, thanks to the new mid laner Jang “EMENES” Min-soo. He has had a few outstanding individual performances and also seems to have brought this team together.
Talent-wise, FlyQuest and Cloud9 look evenly matched, but the recent showings tip the scale in Cloud9’s favour. So at even odds or better, Cloud9 are an easy choice.
Cloud9 to win

?Team Liquid showed up in their win against FlyQuest, only to get crushed by Cloud9 a day later. Losing against Cloud9 isn’t too concerning because C9 might be the best team in the LCS, so the main thing to take away from last week is that Team Liquid have improved. Yet, we don’t know if they’re ready to compete for the LCS crown.
We might not get the answer on Wednesday, when Liquid play Dignitas, who are 2-13, already locked out of the LCS 2023 Spring playoffs and possibly the weakest team in the league.
You can’t expect much from Dignitas since they don’t have the talent to match most other LCS teams. On the other side, Team Liquid need this win, and with the players they have, Liquid should aim for a blowout victory, which should be easily achievable.
Team Liquid -7.5 kills
TSM vs 100 THIEVES LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | TSM +137 at BetOnline | 100T -188.68 at BetOnline |

?TSM and 100 Thieves are tied at 7-8, which sits them right at the LCS 2023 Spring playoffs cutoff line. But despite winning the same number of games, esports betting sites have 100 Thieves priced as -188.68 favourites with BetOnline.
This might again be the case of 100 Thieves being overrated due to big names on the roster since it’s hard to find a good reason to have them ranked higher than TSM. They won against Golden Guardians last week, but the eye test would prove that 100T weren’t that efficient. They got ahead early thanks to Can “Closer” ?elik, then nearly lost it all with some questionable plays.
100 Thieves are a bit overhyped ahead of this match, so even though we don’t have many great things to say about TSM, they’re still a very efficient mid-late game team, which is where 100T tend to struggle.
