According to the top League of Legends bookmakers, Hanwha Life Esports are 4.80 underdogs to defeat Gen.G, who are priced as 1.17 favourites. At this number, Hanwha Life Esports are given just a 20.8% implied probability of winning the series, which is a fairly low number considering how the last meeting ended.

Head to Head

Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports last met in the upper bracket finals of LCK 2024 Summer, when Gen.G won in four maps.

Gen.G Form

Gen.G already bested Hanwha Life Esports in the upper bracket of the LCK 2024 Summer Playoffs, and according to the esports betting odds, they are expected to win again. This makes sense, as Gen.G have been by far the best team in the LCK this year and are arguably the best-performing LoL esports team in the world.

Still, while Gen.G bested Hanwha Life Esports last time out, it was a fairly competitive game for two of the four series - the other two, not so much.

Seeing Hanwha Life Esports do relatively well against Gen.G gives some hope that HLE are actually good enough to defeat the LCK titans. But on the other side, Gen.G completely dominated two of four series, so it is more than fair to say that they still got it.

Hanwha Life Esports Form

Hanwha Life Esports did a relatively good job against Gen.G in the upper bracket finals, yet they still finished the series as the clear second-best team. However, we saw good things from Hanwha Life Esports in the lower bracket finals when they defeated T1 3-1, proving once and for all that they are the clear second-best team in the league.

Despite their strong display against T1, there are still questions to be asked, namely, can Hanwha Life Esports even defeat Gen.G? They did fine on two maps the last time out but looked toothless in the other two, so it seems more like HLE can only win if Gen.G slip, which hasn't happened very often this season.

Verdict

Gen.G v Hanwha Life Esports

Gen.G proved themselves as the better team in this contest last week and there are not many reasons to doubt their chances to do it again. Yet, at 1.17, you have to have a very good reason to pick Gen.G over Hanwha Life Esports.

At 2.60, it's hard to pass on Hanwha Life Esports to emulate their success from the previous round. They did enough to win the series, but a few plays didn't end their way, so it is more than fair to take their side to do it again.
