Hanwha Life Esports are the defending LCK Cup and First Stand champions, but that does not explain why they are priced as -185.19 favourites to defeat Gen.G on Wednesday.

Even though Hanwha Life defeated Gen.G twice in the LCK Cup 2025 playoffs, both meetings were very close, so the top LoL betting sites should have this match priced closer to even money.

Gen.G are still one of the league’s strongest teams, for which they deserve some respect. On the other hand, HLE have been ramping up, barring any major meta shifts, Park “Viper” Do-hyeon and co. will remain the LCK’s top dogs.

Gen.G have had enough time to figure things out and improve for this split, so it is fair to feel optimistic about their chances to keep this one close. At plus money, over 2.5 maps is a no-brainer pick.

DRX and DN Freecs met twice during LCK Cup 2025, and both games ended in DRX’s favour. However, their 2-0 head-to-head record is a bit misleading, as DN Freecs managed to keep both games relatively close.

Both are mid-table teams who field decent players but are inconsistent. DRX looked good at times during the LCK Cup, but only when they had a softer schedule. Likewise, DN Freecs had their moments, albeit only when their key players — namely ADC Kim “Berserker” Min-cheol — stepped up.

It is hard to split these two, as both teams are volatile and have players who can take over the game. This is a coin-flip match, so there is some value in backing DN Freecs at plus money.
