Gen.G vs Dplus KIA Predictions

Gen.G picked Dplus KIA for their League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 Summer Playoffs Round 2 opponents, as the two teams are now set to clash on Wednesday, August 28. According to the esports betting odds, it should be a very one-sided series, with Gen.G expected to win without any issues.

Gen.G Form

Gen.G are the current favourites to win the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs, which is hard to argue with. They were by far the most dominant LoL esports team of the regular season, winning all but one series played.

Performance stats-wise, Gen.G lead the league in several metrics granted; stats alone don't show the whole picture. More importantly, Gen.G defeated Dplus KIA twice during the regular season, so there are reasons to believe they can do it again.

In the last meeting, Dplus KIA crushed Gen.G on the first map before they completely collapsed on maps two and three. So even though Gen.G proved to be the superior team, Dplus KIA proved they can make Gen.G bleed.

Dplus KIA Form

Dplus KIA finished the LCK 2024 Summer regular season in third place, with a solid 13-5 record. They did pretty well against most teams, except for Gen.G and T1, who beat them twice, as well as Hanwha Life Esports, who defeated Dplus KIA once.

It's not the most promising record to hold, but Dplus KIA did show high highs, proving they can deliver on a good day. Especially in their last meeting with Gen.G, Dplus KIA proved just how deadly they can be; with an extremely dominant win on Map 1 granted, they got stomped on the last two, so it's hard to say they're unquestionably better.

Verdict

Gen.G v Dplus KIA

Gen.G are priced as massive favourites, which makes a lot of sense, as they were by far the most dominant team of the regular season. They also beat Dplus KIA twice, and knowing that Dplus KIA have failed to show any significant improvement since, it's fair to assume they likely won't find much more success on Wednesday.

On the other side, Dplus KIA are an elite-tier team, much like Gen.G, and they're more than capable of playing at the highest level. They proved they can take a bite out of Gen.G so it's not entirely unlikely for Dplus KIA to do some damage on Wednesday.

We are getting 1.55 on Dplus KIA to win a map and 2.80 to take two. This is a solid offer.
