The defending League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 champions, Gen.G, picked Dplus KIA as their opponents in the second round of the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs, hoping to emulate their success from the regular season. According to the LoL betting odds, the clash on Wednesday, August 28, should end like the last two meetings.
Gen.G are priced as firm favourites to defeat the 2020 world champions, which is not too shocking given their phenomenal display throughout the summer split. As Gen.G have already proven their worth, the only question for this series is whether Dplus KIA have the tools to upset the current hottest League of Legends esports team in the region.
Heo “ShowMaker” Su and co. enter the second round of the playoffs following a 3-1 victory against BNK FearX, where they displayed just how much the individual quality of the players matters.
BNK FearX did throw the second map with a poor early game and questionable transition into the mid and late game. The underdogs came away with the third game after some back-and-forth but got stomped on map four to lose 1-3.
Realistically, Dplus KIA could have lost at least two maps on the day, but they were much more efficient at closing out games due to the individual performances of the star players. Overall, a solid display from Dplus KIA, yet they can not expect Gen.G to make it as easy for them to gain leads early or take advantage of mistakes to turn the games in later stages.
The last time these two teams met, Dplus KIA closed as $4.54 underdogs. Yet despite picking up a map, their implied probability of upsetting Gen.G on Wednesday remains low at 18.6%, with the top LoL betting sites.
This is a very low number for a fixture between two elite teams, considering Gen.G’s regular season stats were not significantly better than Dplus KIA’s. The outsiders also came close to sweeping Gen.G in LCK 2024 Summer Week 5, and even though DK’s results have been a bit all over the place since, they have the talent to take a bite out of Gen.G on Wednesday.
At $1.60 on Dplus KIA to win a map, they are hard to pass on. A smaller position on +1.5 at close to $3.00 is worth a look, too.
