eSports has become the focus of the sports betting world, and one of the most popular video games used in professional eSports is League of Legends. PulseFire Cup is a tournament held in Vietnam, featuring eight teams. The teams are divided into two groups of four teams apiece, and the top two teams in each group will advance to the semifinals. The playoff bracket is single-elimination. Today’s article covers the semifinal matches on Saturday, May 23. Let’s check the League of Legends Odds for the semifinals.

Matches for May 23
Semifinal #1: Team Flash vs GAM Esports (5:00 am ET)
In group play, GAM Esports ran over Percent Esports and Team Secret before losing to Dashing Buffalo to settle for second place in the group. That gives them a semifinal date with the Group A winners, Team Flash, who swept their group play in a thrilling series of matches — all four teams were in play until the last match came to an end.
Before the PulseFire Cup, GAM Esports went to the VCS Spring 2020 playoffs but lost in the first round to Team Flash. This could be a chance for GAM Esports to gain revenge — or Team Flash could slam the door once again. Before that loss, GAM Esports had not lost any Group Stage matches in VCS Spring 2020 — except for a group play match against Team Flash. I’m going with the higher value and picking GAM Esports to turn the tide.
Final Prediction: GAM Esports wins
Semifinal #2: Dashing Buffalo vs EVOS Esports (8:00 am ET)
Dashing Buffalo and GAM Esports had clinched playoff spots out of Group B after the first two matches, but Dashing Buffalo held off GAM in the final group play game to take the title. EVOS Esports only won one group play game, over OverPower Esports, but with three 1-2 teams in the group, they advanced with the tiebreaker.
Dashing Buffalo might seem like the easy favorite, but EVOS Esports prevailed, 2-1, when the teams met in VCS Spring 2020 Group Stage play. In fact, Dashing Buffalo had not won since February 2 in that league, so what we’re seeing in the PulseFire Cup is a major turn of fortune. Can they keep it up? I’m going with EVOS Esports to bring Dashing Buffalo a dose of reality.
Final Prediction: EVOS Esports wins
