What to Bet on July 25 in League of Legends? Top 5 Bets Known Only to Pros

On Thursday, July 25, top teams from South Korea and China return to the stage. We're in for some heated derbies as part of the LCK CL and the main LCK, along with the start of the group stage of the third split of the LPL 2025. All games will be played in a Best of 3 format, and odds from Stake will help choose both safe and more risky bets. Here are the five most interesting matches of the day:

T1 Esports Academy to defeat Gen.G Global Academy (odds 1.38)
The youth squad of T1 impresses: the team confidently controls the map, acts cohesively, and has gained good form by the third round. Gen.G Academy looks unstable and often falters in the midgame. The advantage is with T1 .

Gen.G Esports to beat T1 (odds 1.32)
The main derby of the day in the main LCK. Gen.G comes into the match as the favorite: strong form, stable play, and a powerful laning phase. T1 has yet to regain their former confidence after a weak start to the season. Betting on Gen.G seems reliable.

Ninjas in Pyjamas to overcome EDward Gaming (odds 1.65)
NiP shows growth throughout the season and starts confidently in the new split. EDG continues to struggle: the team often lacks a game plan, and drafting errors lead to failures even in evenly matched games. An interesting risk — in favor of NiP.

DRX to win against OKSavingsBank BRION (odds 1.78)
DRX has successfully entered the third round and shows a clear game structure. BRION, on the other hand, experiences difficulties in transitions between stages and often loses key team fights. DRX is the slight favorite in the match.

LNG Esports to be stronger than LGD Gaming (odds 1.55)
LNG is gradually stabilizing and improving as the season progresses. LGD, however, has yet to emerge from their crisis — weak map control, chaotic play, and frequent early game failures. LNG should take the series.
