Dplus KIA took care of business on Thursday when they defeated OKSavingsBank BRION to secure their 12th victory of the split. After a rough start the first map, the second was much closer to what was expected from Dplus KIA.
Despite their immense potential and quality, Dplus KIA have been a bit inconsistent with high highs and low lows. Lack of consistency is also KT Rolster’s issue, although they tend to step up when challenged.
With side choice, Dplus KIA should be in a fine spot to win, but their $1.39 odds look far too short. KT Rolster produced their best game of the split last Friday, and they did not look too bad in the 2-0 sweep of DRX on Wednesday, so they might be worth a bet to win a map at $1.61 with LoL betting sites.

By edging past Kwangdong Freecs on Wednesday, T1 secured their spot in the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs, which might relieve some pressure and inspire better performances. But that is one big ‘if’, as T1 have not looked even remotely like themselves lately.
By contrast, BNK FearX have looked great over the second half of the split, as they’ve played with confidence and shown solid decision-making. Individually, BNK FearX are still a tier below T1, but one could argue the underdogs are in a better spot despite their loss to Hanwha Life Esports on Thursday.
BNK FearX defeated T1 in Week 5 of LCK 2024 Summer, which was just at the time when they started gaining traction. As not much has changed since, another underdog victory is not beyond the realms of possibility.
