League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) Cup 2025 enters the final round of Week 1 on Sunday, January 19, when KT Rolster clash with Hanwha Life Esports, followed by a David vs Goliath fixture between BNK FEARX and Gen.G. Here are our LoL betting picks for the two games, with esports odds courtesy of top bookmakers in United States.


KT ROLSTER vs HANWHA LIFE ESPORTS LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: KT +346 at BetOnline | HLE -588.24 at BetOnline
When: January 19, 2025 | 15:00 KST
Watch Live: Lolesports, Twitch

KT Rolster started the 2025 LCK season with a 2-1 victory against BNK FEARX, which was too close for comfort. They crushed FEARX in game one, got stomped in game two, and edged out a win on the decider.

Overall, a very sloppy series from KT Rolster and BNK FEARX, but so early into the season, shakier performances were expected. Hanwha Life Esports enter this match fresh off a 0-2 loss against Gen.G, which is not too inspiring.

Like last season, Hanwha Life Esports continue to play very passively, waiting for their opponents to slip rather than creating their own opportunities. In the current meta, which heavily favours getting an early lead and rolling with it, that approach will not work.

Hanwha Life Esports are qualitatively the better team. But their style of play will be punished by any half-decent team.

BNK FEARX vs GEN.G LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS

Best Odds: FEARX +822 at BetOnline | Gen.G -3333.33 at BetOnline
When: January 19, 2025 | 17:30 KST

Gen.G rolled over Hanwha Life Esports in their opening match of the LCK 2025 Cup and will now face a weaker opponent in BNK FEARX, who are fresh off a crushing 1-2 loss against KT Rolster.

Even though they lost the game, BNK FEARX showed some good things, namely that they are not scared to just “send it,” which is an approach that is rewarded in the current snowballing meta. Despite having the right idea of how to play, qualitatively, FEARX are roughly as good as in LCK 2024, when they went 0-8 against Gen.G across the two splits.

This explains why the top LoL betting sites have Gen.G priced as -3333.33 favourites, but so early into the season, that’s too high of a number. Gen.G should win, but the kill handicap is too high to ignore.
