100 Thieves are priced as 1.35 favourites to defeat SoftBank HAWKS Gaming who enter the upcoming series as 3.10 underdogs with the best League of Legends bookmakers. This is quite a bit price difference considering both teams looked shaky in the first round.
- 100 Thieves are North America's third seed
- SoftBank HAWKS Gaming are no.2 team from the PCS
- The teams have never met before
Head to Head
This will mark the first clash between SoftBank HAWKS Gaming and 100 Thieves.
100 Thieves Form
100 Thieves enter this match off a shockingly bad game against Movistar R7, which the North American LoL esports team lost in three maps. It marked the first time in history that a LLA squad defeated an LCS team, however, that is hardly shocking.
100 Thieves, while North America's third seed, are hardly the third-best LoL team from the region and more like a bottom-four side who got lucky in the playoffs. So, their level of play was never expected to be particularly high,
Still, despite 100 Thieves' poor performances throughout the season and in the first round of LoL Worlds 2024, they remain priced as big favourites to defeat SoftBank HAWKS Gaming, which is pushing it a bit.
100 Thieves Squad & Team News
No changes for 100 Thieves.
- Rayan "Sniper" Shoura – top lane
- Kim "River" Dong-woo – jungle
- Lim "Quid" Hyeon-seung – mid lane
- Frank "Tomo" Lam – ADC
- Bill "Eyla" Nguyen – support
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming Form
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming, like 100 Thieves, are hardly as good as their final placement in the regional league would suggest. However, anyone can confirm that the PCS is a stronger league than the LCS, and considering we have a clash between PCS' second seed and LCS's third seed, it's easy to find a reason to go against the favourites.
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming lost their first match of the tournament, but they sort of beat themselves using outdated drafts, which don't work in the current meta. This is not a big problem to fix, so some improvement will be expected on Saturday.
It is also more than fair to say that SoftBank HAWKS Gaming can easily match 100 Thieves individually, so the question really is, why are 100 Thieves favourites?
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming Squad & Team News
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming have not announced any roster changes.
- Shunsuke "Evi" Murase – top lane
- Lee "Forest" Hyeon-seo – jungle
- Kim "DasheR" Deok-beom – mid lane
- Rei "Marble" Shimaya – ADC
- Oh "Vsta" Hyo-seong – support
Verdict
Seeing 100 Thieves priced as 1.35 favourites for this match makes no sense. They're, by the numbers, the fourth or fifth-best team from the LCS and are up against the second-third best team from the PCS – which is a more stacked league than the LCS.
SoftBank HAWKS Gaming also performed better in the previous round of the tournament and only lost due to their shaky drafting. 100 Thieves' defeat came mostly due to them not playing well – which is much tougher to fix than improving the drafts.
The wrong team is favoured here.
