Recent head to head: G2 Epsorts Team edging it
The teams have never faced each other in any official League of Legends tournaments so far, making this their first-ever meeting on the competitive stage.
Players to watch: Hans Sama and Artemis
If you want to make smart LoL betting picks, you should really keep an eye on these two. Hans Sama and Artemis are the key bot laners for their teams, and a lot of the strategy runs through them.
Hans Sama is steady and experienced: he rarely mispositions and almost always delivers high damage in teamfights. That makes him a reliable factor if you’re betting on his team to win.
Artemis, on the other hand, is more aggressive and likes to take risks. He can secure an early advantage in lane and snowball the game quickly. For LoL betting tips, that matters: if you believe in a fast start and early map pressure, his team looks like the better choice.
Their bot lane duel could very well decide the outcome of the series, so it’s worth watching them closely.
Predicted result of the match
Let’s wrap things up and try to choose a winner for this matchup. The Mid-Season Invitational 2025 is a premier tournament where no one gets in by accident, so every team has the potential to win or lose — especially when the competition is this close.
My LoL Betting Prediction: a victory for G2 Esports.
By all metrics, G2 Esports look stronger both as a team and in terms of individual skill. Both teams are on the brink of elimination and both were cleanly defeated by the same opponent. So based on that alone, it’s hard to pick a clear winner. But if we go strictly by the numbers, I’m giving the edge to G2 Esports.
