Esports betting sites have Team Vitality priced as 1.20 favourites for their clash with Rule One, who enter the match as 4.33 underdogs. The offered betting odds make plenty of sense, considering Team Vitality were priced as the leading favourites to win the tournament, whereas Rule One were 34.00 outsiders on the outright betting markets. 

However, Rule One have outperformed the expectations and have caused a couple of upsets already, so perhaps the MENA squad can do it again.

  • Team Vitality crushed Gen.G Mobil1 Racing (4-0) in the last round
  • Rule One’s only loss of the tournament came against Team BDS (0-3)
  • Rule One are playing much better than expected

Head to Head


Team Vitality and Rule One have never met before.

Team Vitality Form


Team Vitality were priced as the leading favourites to win RLCS Spring Split Major, but they fell in the upper bracket semifinals against their regional rivals, Team BDS (1-4). Before that defeat, Vitality defeated Elevate (3-1) and edged past Complexity (3-2), and on Saturday, added a commanding 4-0 sweep of Gen.G Mobil1 Racing.

Overall, Team Vitality haven’t looked bad, but they’ve not shown as much as some expected. A close game against Complexity was a bit alarming, and losing against Team BDS wasn’t a good look. In Vitality’s defence, BDS and Complexity are good teams, so it’s not like Vitality are in a terrible spot. Still, they’re not as dominant as they perhaps should be.

Rule One Form


Rule One kicked off RLCS Spring Split Major with a 3-1 win over KRU Esports but were no match for Team BDS (0-3) in the second round of the upper bracket. Despite the defeat, Rule One played well and looked competitive across the first two games (3-4, 2-4) against the current best team of the tournament.

In the lower bracket, Rule One had a bit shaky start as they needed a reverse sweep to defeat PWR (3-2) after going 0-2 down, but they closed out the game in style with 6-2, 2-1, 7-1, proving that they’re much better. Rule One continued their run with an impressive 3-1 victory over Complexity and, on Saturday, added a 4-2 win against Moist Esports.

Rule One have already achieved more than anyone expected of them, but their true test comes on Sunday, when Rule One face off against Vitality.

Rule One Squad & Team News


Rule One have not announced any roster changes, meaning ams will likely stay sidelined.

  • Saleh Abdullah "Rw9" Bakhashwin
  • Abdulmohsen "M7sn" Al-Khamis
  • Abdullah "ams" Alsubaie

Verdict

As the latest RLCS betting odds suggest, Team Vitality should win, and that sounds fair. Despite their slip-up against Team BDS, Vitality are still very good, and their 4-0 win against Gen.G on Saturday proves that. Still, we can’t ignore how solid Rule One have been playing, so it’s fair to question whether they might be a bit underrated by the market.

Esports betting sites are offering 1.72 on Rule One with a 2.5 map handicap, which is a generous offer. More times than not, Vitality should win, but they’ve shown some cracks, so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that Rule One keep it close.
