⭐ Editor’s Prediction
While KT.C enter as favourites, the head-to-head record and DRX’s recent form suggest this won’t be a walk in the park. We expect DRX to put up a serious fight.
Main pick: over 3.5 maps - DRX have seen this trend in six straight best-of-five series, and given their resilience, there’s a strong chance we’ll see at least four maps played here.
