Where to Bet on July 21 in League of Legends? Top 5 Bets Known Only to Pros

On Monday, July 21, several exciting matches are expected on the League of Legends stage—both in the Chinese league LPL Split 3 and the South Korean academy league LCK CL 2025. We have selected five potentially profitable bets based on the current form of the teams, the Best of 3 format, and bookmaker odds.

Ultra Prime and ThunderTalk Gaming will play all three maps (odds 2.10)
Both teams are far from the leaders but regularly engage in competitive series in head-to-head matches. Their styles suggest a map exchange: TT can apply pressure, while UP can seize the initiative. The Bo3 format makes betting on three maps a logical choice.

Ninjas in Pyjamas will defeat LNG Esports (odds 1.38)
NIP are starting the split well-organized, with clear strategy execution and strong laning. LNG, on the other hand, are still trying to find the optimal lineup and appear unstable in the early game. In a Best of 3 series, NiP's experience and discipline could be decisive.

KT Rolster Academy will beat DRX Challengers (odds 1.42)
KT are consistently performing well in the summer part of the academy league, playing smartly around the map and draft. DRX often lose initiative after laning and struggle to adapt in the midgame. KT has more synergy and understanding of the meta.

DRX Challengers and KT Rolster Academy will play three maps (odds 1.92)
Despite KT's favorite status, DRX often manage to take a map even from strong opponents. Academy matches rarely end in a sweep, especially in the early stages of the playoffs. A 2:1 scenario in either direction is quite realistic here.

Dplus KIA Challengers and Nongshim Esports Academy will play three maps (odds 2.20)
Both teams show unstable picks, often leading to map exchanges. Nongshim can punish mistakes in the early game but get lost in the late stage. Dplus, on the contrary, take time to build momentum. This is a recipe for a three-map series.
