Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming are priced as 1.65 favourites to defeat GAM Esports, who are 2.20 underdogs with the top League of Legends bookmakers. As a team that hail from a stronger Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming should get more respect, but at this number, they might be a bit overrated.

Head to Head

This will mark their first meeting between Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming and GAM Esports.

GAM Esports Form

GAM Esports return to the LoL World Championship as Vietnam's top seed and one of the main candidates to win the play-in stage. While they did not win any of the two VCS regular seasons, GAM Esports won both the Spring and Summer Playoffs without any issues.

In the only international LoL esports event of the year – MSI 2024 – GAM Esports placed ninth-10th, which is hardly inspiring. In their defence, GAM faced Fnatic (twice) and LOUD. So regardless of their lack of accomplishment at the MSI, GAM Esports are still a threat to do well in the play-in stage.

As the most dominant side of the Vietnam LoL esports league, GAM Esports are also known for their aggressive playstyle, which helped it secure dominant wins. On the other side, this works as a double-edged sword.

Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming Form

Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming are the second-highest seed from the PCS, which sounds very impressive. The Asia-Pacific is a strong minor region, which is why the league champions, PSG Talon, are getting so much respect from the top LoL betting sites.

However, while Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming are no.2 seed from the PCS, they are hardly one of the strongest teams from the region. The Hawks were a bit lucky to place second in the summer playoffs, and only got there thanks to their upset win against Frank Esports, so we should take their success with a grain of salt.

Verdict

GAM Esports v Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming

GAM Esports are not getting much respect in this series, mainly because they are up against the second seeded team from the PCS. But that means little knowing that Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming were actually not the second-best team from the regions.

Betting on GAM is still tricky as they are the type of team to shoot themselves in the foot with their aggressive style, and the added variance of a new patch does not help either. Fukuoka SB HAWKS Gaming should be given a slight bump, but taking over 2.5 maps makes the most sense.
