Example JW Profile:


Tips for betting on 3-0

Try to bet on teams that have little chance of passing, because if you bet on Fnatic [/] 3-0 which is sure to pass if for some reason Fnatic lose to some team you will lose the point of its own passing phase so I recommend that you put 3-0 times as Avangar , Fury , etc. This way you will gain as many points as possible.

Tips for betting on 0-3

Try to see which team is the least training and there was one of the worst results recently.

Tips to hit the seven that will pass.

Try mainly to analyze their training because they will indicate a lot in this, recent results may not make so much difference but may, if you are in the stage of The New Legends Stage try to analyze their performance in the last stage

My bets in The new Challengers Stage

3-0: Avangar
Reason: Because it is a team that is training relatively well and does not have much chance to pass so I bet on them if they surprise and pass.

0-3: Grayhound Gaming
Reason: It's a team that has been training little, is not a team that has a history of good games was classified by the 3rd place of the minors and does not have a tournament specificity like that.

The sevens:
  • Fnatic
  • NRG Esports
  • Ninja In Pyjamas
  • Team Spirit
  • Cloud9
  • Team Vitality
  • ENCE eSports
Reason: I made these choices because some teams are growing a lot and also training as much as others for the specificity in big tournaments.


I hope everyone who follows these tips will have a good hit rate. :D

@MyNanPlaysRocketLeauge Yes. Advancement 3-0 and advancement 3-2 is still advancement. Your 3-0 pick is the only one that cares about whether the team wins/loses at all.

if a team goes wins 3-0 will it still count for the pick ems if you choose them for 1 of the 7 teams that will advance
