HAJIN BRION head into Week 4 off a rough 1-2 loss to Nongshim RedForce. The series was competitive enough on the scoreboard, but it was messy throughout, and BRION once again hurt themselves with avoidable mistakes in key moments.

That has been a recurring theme for them this season. There have been stretches where BRION look capable of hanging around, but they continue to make too many errors to seriously threaten stronger teams.

Dplus KIA are hardly the easiest side to trust. They remain one of the most unpredictable teams in the league and have already shown both their low floor and very high ceiling this split. That volatility is exactly what makes them frustrating to back at short odds.

Still, the recent win over T1 was another reminder of how dangerous Dplus KIA can be when things click. More importantly, this matchup suits them well. BRION do not have the strength in mid-jungle to consistently deal with Heo “ShowMaker” Su and Choi “Lucid” Yong-hyeok, and that should decide the series if DK show up with any sort of structure.

GEN.G vs DN SOOPERS

Best Odds	Gen.G -1000 at BetOnline | DNS +550 at SportsBetting

DN SOOPers come into this one as huge outsiders, and even if Gen.G have not looked anywhere near as dominant as expected this split, it is still hard to make a serious case for the underdogs.

Gen.G have underdelivered by their standards with a 3-3 record, but context matters. This is still the same roster that has controlled the LCK for the last two years, and even through the shaky run they have continued to handle weaker opponents with little fuss.

That is what makes this such a difficult spot for DN SOOPers. They have not shown enough in recent matches, including the 0-2 loss to KT Rolster, to suggest they can really pressure an elite team over a full series. Their margin for error is tiny, and against Gen.G that usually means trouble.

Gen.G may not be playing at their old level yet, but this is exactly the kind of matchup where they can steady themselves and build momentum again. A clean, controlled series from the favourites feels much more likely than any real upset threat from SOOPers.
