A rematch from LoL Champions Korea 2024 Summer Week 4 sees T1 seek revenge against Hanwha Life Esports, who bested the reigning LoL world champions 2-1. But based on T1’s recent performances, this will not come easy.
T1 are in the worst shape they have been in a very long time, but it’s not like their downfall is surprising. T1 have looked very shaky since their return from the Esports World Cup 2024, and they hit a new low on Thursday with a 1-2 loss against BNK FearX.
Betting on Hanwha Life Esports when faced with an elite team is rarely the way to go, since they are a counterpunching team. But in the state T1 are in, even a suboptimal approach could be enough to push Hanwha over the finish line.

GEN.G vs DPLUS KIA LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |

|---|---|
| Best Odds: | Gen.G -769.23 at BetOnline | Dplus +446 at BetOnline |

We are looking at a very short price for Gen.G to defeat what is arguably one of the top four teams in the LCK. And while Gen.G have looked unstoppable so far this split, it is fair to consider fading them just on the principle that betting odds on a match between two strong teams should never be so lopsided.
Esports betting sites are offering +446 on Dplus KIA, meaning they are given just north of 18% implied probability to defeat Gen.G. Considering Dplus threw away a golden opportunity to win when these teams last met, that figure is way too low.
Gen.G are the better, more consistent team, but going against the hottest squad in the LCK makes sense at this number.
