Market-implied, not a Sportslyx pick. Two-way de-vig of the series moneyline; the pair sums to 100%.
Market-implied: FURIA 75%. The series moneyline pair (FURIA -400 / MVK Esports +275) is de-vigged two-way into a fair probability for each side. This is the market’s number — the same anchor the Sportslyx board uses where a book prices the series — and it is not a Sportslyx pick. The in-product breakdown is written separately from these inputs and graded on its own.
A game handicap and a total-games line, where the book posts them, are shown in the facts above as context; the percentage is derived from the moneyline only. Lines move up to the start, so this is a snapshot from the last refresh rather than a closing price.
Format
Series Format & Map Pool
FURIA vs MVK Esports is a best-of-five: the first team to 3 games wins. The format comes from the schedule feed and sets the grading rule.
A League of Legends series is a set of games on one map, each opened by a draft; there is no map pool to veto. Regular-season formats differ by league — best-of-one in some, best-of-three in others — and a best-of-one has no one-game push because a single game decides it, so the board reads only the best-of-three and best-of-five series. Playoffs, MSI and Worlds are best-of-five. The format on this page comes from the schedule feed, and it is the first thing the grading rule below looks at.
Regular-season LoL matches are often best-of-one or best-of-three; playoffs and Worlds are best-of-five.
Grading in this format. In a best-of-five a series lost 2–3 is graded as a push, not a loss. Losing 0–3 or 1–3 is a loss.
Form
Recent Form
What form means in LoL and where it is read. This public page shows the schedule feed only; recent results are not rendered here.
Form in League of Legends is read inside the split: a run of best-of-one wins early in a regular season says less than a best-of-three win in playoffs, and a change to the starting five between weeks matters more than either. The in-product breakdown reads recent results, game scores, six-month player ratings where the feed carries them, the stage of the league and the listed lineup from the results feed; this public page shows the schedule feed only.
The LoL hub explains how the breakdown weighs form against the line, and the LoL results list keeps recent game scores for the whole slate.

Head-to-Head
Previous meetings are not listed on the public page. What head-to-head means in LoL and how the in-product breakdown reads it.
Head-to-head in League of Legends is read inside the split and across international events: two meetings in the same regular season carry more than a best-of-one from a year ago with a different lineup. The in-product breakdown weighs previous meetings from the results feed; this page lists no previous meetings.

AI Series Analysis
What the Sportslyx breakdown for FURIA vs MVK Esports covers — and why none of it is printed here.
The in-product breakdown is written by a language model from the series data and the market line at the time it is generated. For LoL it weighs schedule, live scores and results, rosters and team crests, tournament and best-of format, recent series form, bookmaker lines where covered and Leaguepedia as a reserve for schedules, and it states which side the numbers favour; a board read on the series is later graded from the final game score. Where the book prices the series, the line is the anchor; where it does not, the product works from a calibrated model estimate marked “est.” that stays inside the product. The breakdown text is not rewritten when the line moves, and the percentage shown anywhere on Sportslyx is market-derived, not a model score.
A series read that loses by exactly one map — 1–2 in a best-of-three, 2–3 in a best-of-five — is graded as a push, not a loss. The rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read.
Nothing from that breakdown appears on this public page: not the side, not the estimate, not the text. What you can check without an account is how past reads performed — the LoL predictions page publishes hit rate and ROI at a flat stake by month, labelled “partly est. prices”, and the Methodology page explains how a read is selected and graded.
What the LoL breakdown weighs
- Schedule, live scores and results
- Rosters and team crests
- Tournament and best-of format
- Recent series form
- Bookmaker lines where covered
- Leaguepedia as a reserve for schedules
Markets read where the book covers the series: series moneyline, map handicap (±1.5) and total maps (over/under). Where the results feed carries them, the in-product breakdown also reads each team’s per-game win rates and six-month player ratings; the map veto and the draft are not ingested. None of the player-level or per-game data is shown on this public page.
Grading
Prediction Tracking
How a read on FURIA vs MVK Esports is settled and where the result is published.
A read on FURIA vs MVK Esports is graded from the final game score published by the results feed. In a best-of-five a series lost 2–3 is graded as a push, not a loss. Losing 0–3 or 1–3 is a loss. Hit rate is wins divided by wins plus losses with pushes excluded, and ROI is measured at a flat stake per read and labelled “partly est. prices”, because some LoL series carry a model estimate rather than a book line. Every settled read lands in a calendar-month (UTC) record.
The push rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read: a series the read got one game wrong is returned rather than counted as a loss, which lifts the hit rate relative to a plain win/loss count. Reads are selected on expected value with a price floor, so very short favourites are left off the board even when the market likes them.
The same settlement rules apply to your own tracked picks inside the workspace: add FURIA vs MVK Esports to a watchlist, log a read, and it is graded automatically from the final game score, with your net result shown in money at your own stake. The public record is on the LoL predictions page, and the full rule set on the Methodology page.
