On July 20, as part of the Chinese League of Legends, LPL Summer 2022, there will be a confrontation between teams with different playing levels, Top Esports and Rare Atom. Experts from bookmakers have identified Top Esports as the clear favorite for the upcoming match. The odds for Top Esports to win is 1.10, which, translated into the language of probabilities, equates to 85% for a triumph. I propose to get acquainted with the statistics and conduct an analysis in order to understand whether it is worth betting on their victory with a handicap or whether some alternative markets should be considered.

At the moment, Top Esports are in third place, having nine wins and one loss. Above Top Esports in the standings are only Victory Five and JD Gaming, who go with a score of 9-1 and 10-1. Thus, we can safely conclude that Top Esports is one of the strongest teams in the league, which is in excellent shape. The team's last match took place on July 16 against Edward Gaming. The team won with a score of 2-1. This fact suggests that the team is in a bad shape, and Edward Gaming, for a second, have 6-4 statistics and are on the sixth line at a time when Rare Atom have a score of 2-7 and are on the 14th line. It is worth noting that the last meeting against Edward Gaming was held with a score of 2-1, however, in the case of Rare Atom, these three maps are unlikely to come to fruition.
The only match that Top Esports lost was at the beginning of the league, where the team lost in the fight against JD Gaming, but still took one card for themselves. Now the team is in excellent playing shape.
As for the roster, the roster was completed at the end of 2021 and the team managed to play properly. The spring split ended for Top Esports in second place and a large reward of $151,044.

Rare Atom Game Uniform
The roster of Rare Atom, as well as Top Esports, was completed at the end of last year, however, the team felt little performance from such a move. The team took 9th-10th place in the LPL Spring 2022. Considering that 17 teams took part in the event, this is not the worst result, however, the language will not turn out worthy of calling it. The team was left without a cash prize and the team was far from taking second place, as in the case of Top Esports.
As for the ongoing LPL Summer 2022 split, the results of the team are also disappointing. Club fans are upset when they see that their favorites have only two victories and seven defeats. The last match of the roster was played against Bilibili Gaming, where the team was defeated with a score of 1-2. The previous match before this also ended in defeat for Rare Atom. The team also took one map in the fight against JD Gaming, but still lost the match. It is noteworthy that JD Gaming is the main favorite of the Chinese league in LoL at the moment and occupies the top of the table with 10-1 statistics. Defeating such an opponent on at least one map is already a good result, and therefore Rare Atom players have a chance to take at least one map from Top Esports.

Conclusion
We see that now Top Esports really look like a clear favorite and they show excellent results not only in the short but also in the long run, which indicates a stable state of the team. This will play a decisive factor for me in choosing the best rate in this case. I don't forget that Rare Atom took one card from JD Gaming on July 11th and took a card from Bilibili Gaming on the 16th. The team played on equal terms with both. In this regard, I believe that Rare Atom, in theory, can take one card from Top Esports. Bookmakers reward bettors for such a risk with a juicy odds of 2.62. For this reason, I think it's safe to risk a small amount here and trust that Rare Atom will draw at least one card again.
Final bet: Handicap cards +1.5 in favor of Rare Atom with odds 2.62
