Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We've made a betting tip on GAM Esports vs Rainbow7 in the lower reaches of the Play-In Mid-Season Invitational 2023. It's hard to overestimate the importance of the matchup, as the right to stay in the tournament is at stake.
The winner of the match will advance to the next round of the Play-In MSI 2023, where they will play against the loser of the pair Bilibili Gaming - GAM Esports. The loser leaves the event.
We have analyzed the teams' games in previous matches, as well as on the home stage in regional leagues, and now we are ready to tell you what to expect from the upcoming confrontation.
Let's begin.
GAM Esports uniforms
We open the analysis of the match with an analysis of the game form GAM Esports. In this match, the representatives of the VCS will play in the status of the favorite.
Bookmakers almost signed an unconditional victory GAM Esports. The chance of success for the team from Vietnam is estimated at odds around 1.18.
A similar figure hints at the imminent demise of Rainbow7 in the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. Perhaps the outcome of the match will indeed be pitiful for GAM Esports' opponents.
Explaining GAM Esports' faith in this match is not difficult. It's all about the VCS and how GAM Esports behave there.
Digging deeper, we see that GAM Esports is one of the most decorated teams in Vietnam with 5 wins in regional splits and several top 2 home leagues. At the last event, VCS Dawn 2023, GAM Esports went into the play-offs very confidently, winning the group 14-0 on the series. GAM played well in the play-offs themselves, giving up a total of 4 maps in 3 series.
Vietnam (VCS) is an asterisky region. The teams from there are able to put up a good fight against the top clubs in the World League of Legends, as GAM Esports showed at Worlds 2017, 2019 and also at Worlds 2022.
The peak performance on the international stage remains 2017. At that time, GAM Esports finished in the top 6 at the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational.
To repeat the success of 2017, it is imperative to beat Rainbow7 in the upcoming clash. Everything seems to be in place for that.
- GAM Esports line-up: Kiaya, Levi, Kati, Sty1e, Zin.
GAM have top performers by the standards of the VCS, as evidenced by the club's performance at home. However, they did not help GAM beat a more titular rival, namely Golden Guardians, with whom GAM played in the first round of the Play-In MSI 2023 where they lost without much chance.
The most popular GAM Esports champions
- Top Line: Fiora (3 matches, 100% wins), Jax (3 matches, 66% wins).
- Jungle: Wukong (3 matches, 100% win rate), Lee Sin (3 matches, 66% win rate).
- Centre line: Lissandra (7 games, 85% wins).
- Shooter: Zeri (6 games, 50% wins).
- Support: Nautilus (8 matches, 75% wins).
If you're ready to pick a winner and bet on GAM Esports, go ahead. We will talk about their rival, Movistar R7, or simply Rainbow7.
Rainbow7 Form
We continue our review of the match with an analysis of Rainbow7's playing form. In this match, the club from LLA will play as an outsider with an enviable lead.
Bookmakers estimate the chances of Movistar R7 to win by odds in the region of 4. It's all pretty logical.
Comparing the results we can see that the teams are similar on paper. Rainbow7, as well as GAM Esports, successfully play at home.
On account of the Mexican club as many as 6 Cups in Latin America. The team took the last one in Spring this year, gloriously winning the LLA Opening 2023, finishing 3rd in the group stage and the subsequent play-offs with three full-match boc5s.
Rainbow7, as the best team in Latin America, have often visited international andVent, but have not found landmark victories there. Movistar R7 played at MSI 2017, where they finished top-8, Worlds 2017 (top-20), MSI 2018 (top-10) and Worlds 2020 (top-20).
- Rainbow7 line-up: Bong, Oddie, Mireu, Ceo, Lyonz.
At MSI 2023, there would be a chance to surpass the club's former merit and take a high place, but it is unlikely to happen. It's not just about the overall position of the team on the international stage and the VCS advantage over LLA, but also about the growth of the teams. Rainbow7 have only formed their roster at the beginning of the year and so far they simply do not have enough experience to compete against experienced performers.
Rainbow7's most popular champions
- Top line: Renekton (5 matches, 40% wins).
- Jungle: Sejuani (6 matches, 83% wins).
- Centre Line: Gragas (5 matches, 60% wins).
- Shooter: Zeri (7 games, 42% wins).
- Support: Nautilus (5 games, 60% wins).
If you're willing to take your chances, pick the winner of the Hispanic match. Betting on Movistar R7 to win at odds around 4 carries risks, but the potential winnings will be big.
Predicted result of the GAM Esports vs Rainbow7 match
I don't expect any revelations in this match. Despite the fact that the two Minor regions are playing, the win will go to GAM Esports due to their more played roster and higher overall level of play. I can believe in one card from Movistar R7, but I'm leaning towards a clean win for the Vietnamese.
Bottom line: 2-0 win for GAM Esports.
