How mapread works

Pre-match calls on pro League of Legends — where we think the edge is, and where there isn’t one. Here’s how to read the site.

01The product

What mapread is

Mapread publishes a pre-match call on every pro League of Legends match we cover — across the major regional leagues and the international tournaments.

The edge — or no edge

We call who we lean and how hard. When there’s no edge, we say so.

6–8h before kickoff

Calls drop the morning of — a few hours out, never stale week-old takes.

Scored in public

Every call is logged with its result. The hit rate counts misses, not just wins.

Who it’s forPeople who want a calibrated read before the match — bettors hunting an edge, and fans who want more than a hot take.

02How to use it

Three steps

  1. Open Match calls

    Where every upcoming call lives. Open it the morning of game day — not days ahead.

    Match calls
  2. Read the tier

    Every match carries one of four conviction labels. The tier tells you how much weight to give the call at a glance.

  3. Check the track record

    Before you trust a pick, see how the calls have landed. The record breaks the hit rate down by tier and league.

The four tiers

Strong lean

Our strongest edge.

Lean

A smaller edge.

Watch

A clear favorite, but no edge. No bet.

Coinflip

Too close to call. No pick.

Strong lean and Lean are the calls to act on. Watch and Coinflip mean we see no edge — don’t force it.
