Bilibili Gaming and Top Esports will clash on Wednesday, August 21, when the two Chinese juggernauts battle it out for the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) 2024 Summer Playoffs finals ticket.

With a lot on the line, both teams have plenty of reasons to step up. According to LoL betting sites, however, the series will not be as competitive as it may seem.

Bilibili Gaming enter the LPL 2024 Summer Playoffs semifinals off an awe-inspiring victory against Weibo Gaming, who they bested 3-0 on Saturday. It was one of the best showings from BLG this split, indicating that the defending champions might be peaking at the right time.

Top Esports had a slow start to the playoffs against Anyone’s Legend, but they were more convincing against LNG Esports in the fourth round. TES still failed to look as dominant as usual, however, mainly because LNG are good at minimising losses early.

Like Top Esports, Bilibili Gaming are one of the best early-game teams in the LPL. This could lead to an interesting affair between two stylistically similar teams.

But while a strong early game is simply one of Bilibili Gaming’s tools, it is Top Esports’ primary win condition. And knowing Zhuo “knight” Ding and his crew are in a good spot to contain their rivals, they should have a straightforward path to victory.
