T1 and KT Rolster will meet on the Summoner’s Rift on Saturday, August 23, in the first round of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 Summer Playoffs. They last clashed in the sixth week of the regular season, when T1 won, and according to the LoL betting odds, the rematch should end no differently.

Top League of Legends betting sites have priced T1 as $1.28 favourites, which should not come as a surprise. Even though the reigning LoL world champions did not have the most stable run through the regular season, they found more momentum in the final stages, beating OKSavingsBank BRION, Kwangdong Freecs, and BNK FearX.

KT Rolster placed fifth in the regular season with a 9-9 record, slightly worse than T1. More importantly, they won two of their last three series as betting underdogs against Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports.

KT Rolster typically do well against stronger teams, while they underdeliver when heavily favoured. It didn’t help them defeat T1 in their last meeting; however, at $1.90 to keep the series within one map, the outsiders are worth a look.

T1 have a significantly higher ceiling than KT Rolster, which they proved in May when Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok and co. won the Esports World Cup 2024 in Saudi Arabia. Still, they enter the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs in shaky form.

KT Rolster have posted solid performance figures this split, especially if looking at only their games against top opposition. While this is still T1’s game to lose, this version of T1 is one of the worst we have seen since this lineup came together.
