The StarSeries i-League Season 7 finals head to Sanghai with $500K prize pool. The LAN-Final will run from March 30 to April 7. When betting on StarSeries i-League you may consider choosing the underdogs like CyberZen, ENCE and Fnatic to upset the odds.

Internet Sportsbook news in Sweden noted that the organizers StarLadder are going out of their comfort zone in season 7. The location has been changed from Kiev to Shanghai and the prize pool has been increased from $300K to $500K. The event features 16 teams including 12 directly invited and 3 others determined through regional qualifiers in North America, Europe, and Asia. StarSeries i-League betting odds are highly intriguing and offer a very good profit. You might consider taking a look at our latest review about Bet365. The home side CyberZen, the defending champions ENCE, and the rising force Fnatic are all expected to reach the later stages. One of them might even become the outright winner.

**StarSeries i-League Betting Odds at** Bet365 Sportsbook
	To Win Outright	To Reach the Final
CyberZen	51.00	26.00
ENCE	17.00	8.5
Fnatic	13.00	6.50
Na’Vi	7.00	3.40
Team Liquid	5.00	2.50

Home Side CyberZen

One of the strongest CSGO teams in China CyberZen will be the hosting team. They will be equipped with their home fans and will play at their home turf. Although CyberZen were unable to achieve great success against EU sides in recent years, the home ground might give them some luck this time. CyberZen already showed a lot of strength when they prevailed in the Asian Qualifier for StarSeries i-League S7. They got a crushing victory over EHOME to earn the last spot for the LAN-Final. At Bet365 Sportsbook, their odds are 26.00 to reach the final and 51.00 to win the trophy.

Defending Champions ENCE

The Russian-Ukranian side ENCE are returning to StarSeries as defending champions. They were able to win two international titles in 2018, including DreamHack Open Winter and StarSeries S6. They also reached the grand final at DreamHack Open Montreal, only to lose against Polish Kinguin. They attempt to defend the title from their first major victory, hoping to succeed in China.

The Rising Force Fnatic

Fnatic remain best known to online sportsbook sites in Sweden for their greatest lineup of all time back in 2015. Afterwards the team broke apart with Olof “olofmeister” Kajbjer leaving to FaZe and Dennis signing for GODSENT. Up until late of 2018 Fnatic struggled to find their way to the top. However, at IEM Chicago that hope came back after playing the best game of 2018 against Astralis. Now the team looks forward to show a more consistent force in the international scene once again in 2019.

Na’Vi One of the Most Improved Teams in 2018

The Ukrainian team Natus Vincere won their StarSeries Season 5 title. Yet they did not have the chance to defend it, as they skipped the season 6. Now they are returning with expectations to win the trophy once again. You can choose Na’Vi when betting on StarSeries i-League with 7.00, especially after they became one of the most improved teams in 2018. Last year alone they won BLAST Pro Series Copenhagen, ESL One Cologne, and CSGO Asia Championships.

Team Liquid with an Updated Roster

Team Liquid are traveling to China as the favourites. They had a very busy year of 2018, being among top four at major tournaments like ESL Pro League Odense, SuperNova Malta, and EPICENTER Moscow. However, they just released zews and TACO in a trade to MiBR and signed Stewie2K. So it remains to be seen how their new roster will perform in the international scene.
