Meeting statistics

The current form of 100 Thieves

100 Thieves will come to this match as the obvious favorites.

After a dismal 2023, the American organization repeated its successful 2022 season in 2024. 100T placed fourth in the LCS Spring Split of 2024 after losing to Liquid in the Top 3 match. After advancing to the regular season of the Summer Split, they finished fifth and played in the LCS Summer 2024 playoffs. They advanced to the Upper Bracket, where they won 3-0 in their opening match against Dignitas. However, they faced Liquid in the following round and lost 0-3. That was only the start of 100 Thieves’ road to the LCS Summer 2024 Playoffs, though. Having started the season in the Lower Bracket in the LCS, 100T stunned everyone in the region by defeating Dignitas 3-2 and then Cloud9. 100 Thieves secured their spot at Worlds 2024 by placing in the top 3 in the LCS Summer 2024.

The current form of Movistar R7

Looking at the odds of the best eSport betting sites, Movistar R7 (originally named Rainbow7 but dropped it for sponsorship reasons) are playing as significant underdogs in this match.

The Mexican team, which has no Mexican players on its roster, has won regional titles in addition to appearing at Worlds and MSI. In actuality, their most recent competition was the Worlds 2023. Movistar R7 finished the competition classified among the top 20 there.

After their unsuccessful championship run, they resumed their previous practice of performing in the home region. They placed in the top two in LLA Opening 2024, the spring split of the 2024 season, but they won LLA Closing 2024, the summer split, to secure a spot at Worlds 2024.

Head-to-head

The two teams haven’t faced off in formal competitions before.

Match analytics

We’re going to back 100 Thieves in this game. Even with their inferior strength for the top level of LoL, it appears that their opponent, who has gained the notoriety of a tourist at Worlds, won’t stand a chance to defeat them. However, due to the shortness of odds on 100T’s win, opt for a prop bet.

Tip: Total Elemental Dragons Slain Over (8.5), with odds of 1.85 on BetSteve.
