Gen.G had a slower start to the split than expected, but they have started to pick up the pace and now enter Week 6 on a four-game winning streak. That run includes victories over DN SOOPers, Dplus KIA, Kiwoom DRX, and Nongshim RedForce, who they defeated just over a week ago.

Even during this improved stretch, Gen.G have not been completely clean. Their 2-1 win over KRX had a few questionable moments, and while they do look like they are figuring things out, they are still not quite back to their most dominant level.

Their last meeting with Nongshim RedForce was also not perfect. Gen.G nearly dropped the first map before taking control and dominating the second, which says a lot about where this team currently sits. They are clearly strong, but still capable of giving opponents a way into games.

Nongshim RedForce have not done much since to inspire confidence. Losses to T1 and Kiwoom DRX have left them in a rough spot, and they still seem to be adjusting after their recent roster change. That makes this an awkward matchup, especially with Gen.G holding side selection.

Gen.G are not fully trustworthy yet, but they have already handled RedForce once and should have enough control to do it again. The map handicap looks like the best way to play the favourites.

HANWHA LIFE ESPORTS vs DN SOOPERS

Best Odds	HLE -2500 at BetOnline | DNS +800 at SportsBetting

Hanwha Life Esports and DN SOOPers last met on April 16, when HLE produced a dominant victory. The rematch is expected to follow a similar script, with Hanwha Life listed as massive favourites on the top LoL betting sites.

Hanwha Life enter Week 6 on a nine-game winning streak, having won every series since their Week 1 defeat to T1. There have still been a few shaky patches along the way, but overall they have looked far more disciplined than earlier in the season.

This version of HLE feels different from the volatile side we have seen in the past. They are taking fewer unnecessary risks, making cleaner decisions, and doing a much better job of turning their talent advantage into controlled wins.

That matters here because DN SOOPers have not shown enough to suggest they can keep up with an elite team. Unless Hanwha Life fall into old habits and give away unnecessary openings, this should be another one-sided series.

HLE are usually the type of team worth being careful with as heavy favourites, but they have earned this tag. The kill handicap across the first two maps is the more appealing angle than the short moneyline.
