Unicorns of Love vs. Top Esports – LoL Worlds, Sunday, October 11, 2020

The big favorite for the LoL 2020 Worlds title Top Esports is comfortably leading Group D of the competition with three wins from the same number of games. The Chinese giant will have the chance to book a place in the knockouts early on Sunday in the game against Unicorns of Love.

The CIS squad is yet to find a win in the tournament and a defeat here would put an end to UOL’s adventure on the biggest stage.

I share my thoughts on the upcoming encounter in this Unicorns of Love vs. Top Esports betting preview. The post includes the latest odds and lines, my prediction, and a free betting pick.

The Unicorns of Love vs. Top Esports odds of the best betting sites paint a clear picture. The Chinese squad is expected to dominate this clash and this is natural, based on the first match between these two and their overall performance in the Worlds.

Reaching the Main Even of the LoL World 2020 was the goal of Unicorns of Love and the team got there. Every win on top of that would’ve been considered as a bonus, so losing the first three matches in Group D is hardly a surprise.

The squad simply is not on the same level as the rest of the teams, especially if you look at the games against the Asians. The first clash against Top Esports was one-sided from start to finish and the Unicorns probably had nightmares involving 369 after the end of the match.

I’m not sure if there’s anything that Unicorns of Love can do to prevent another loss on Sunday. They can’t stay passive because the opponent will out farm them, but if they are too aggressive, they are likely to get punished too.

The performance of Top Esports up to this point of the 2020 Worlds is pretty much what we expected from the team. Every opponent has been beaten and most of the games weren’t even close.

It looks like this is the best squad from a mechanical standpoint and some of the plays we’ve seen by guys like 369 and JackeyLove have been on another level. It’s hard to imagine how someone can beat Top Esports at this point, so the top spot in the group makes the most sense.

I expect an easy win for the favorite in the opening game on Sunday unless they completely underestimate the opponent.

The difference between the teams is huge and the Unicorns of Love know that they can’t let Top Esports farm, so they might try to be aggressive. This could backfire badly and I expect a crushing victory for the Chinese side. The price of -114 for the favorite to cover the -10.5 kills handicap is my betting pick here.
