⭐️ Editor’s Prediction
T1 enter as favorites, boasting international pedigree and a higher level of individual skill. MAD Lions did manage to take down Bilibili Gaming, but their defeat to Dplus KIA exposed just how tough it is for European sides to keep up the pace against disciplined Korean lineups. The BO3 format also works in T1’s favor, giving them more room to adjust their strategy after the opening map. While MAD Lions are capable of putting up a fight in stretches, they may lack the consistency needed to win a full series. The recommended bet is on T1 to win with a -1.5 handicap, banking on the Korean squad’s edge in decisive teamfights.
