Kwangdong Freecs picked up two important victories against KT Rolster and OKSavingsBank BRION last week. They needed all three maps to defeat BRION and looked very questionable on Map 2, but Kwangdong were dominant on the first and third maps.
Nongshim RedForce have yet to taste victory this split, and according to the esports betting sites, they’re unlikely to get their name on the board on Wednesday. They had a shaky showing against FearX on the opening day and failed to accomplish much in their game against T1.
RedForce had their moments against T1 and held on relatively well. And while most of it had to do with T1’s sloppy plays, Nongshim showed they’re not afraid to fight.
Kwangdong Freecs are the better team, but they seem a bit inconsistent and won’t have side choice for this series. The favourites should win, but we like Nongshim RedForce with a map advantage.
Nongshim RedForce +1.5 maps

After sweeping Nongshim RedForce in their opening match of LoL Champions Korea 2024 Summer, T1 suffered their third head-to-head defeat against Gen.G this season. The game ended in two maps, but the score doesn’t tell the whole story.
Both maps were extremely close to ending in T1’s favour — especially the second map, where Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong was a couple of auto attacks away from closing out the game. That’s not to say Gen.G are weaker than T1, but rather that T1 are much closer to the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 champions than it might seem.
Dplus KIA have been doing well this split. They needed three maps to make it past Hanwha Life Esports and KT Rolster, which isn’t something to celebrate too much; however, they are in excellent form and look capable of causing problems for any team they face.
Dplus KIA are slowly creeping into the elite few LCK teams, and they’ll get there if they can keep up the pace. Although still weaker than T1, Dplus have shown great things last split and early into LCK 2024 Summer, which makes it easy to believe we’ll see a competitive series.
