LCK: Gen.G (-1913*) vs. DN Freecs (+1103*) - April 24, 2025
Gen.G is currently the only undefeated team in the LCK. They've already defeated every top contender including Hanwha Life Esports (HLE), T1, Dplus KIA (DK), Nongshim RedForce (NS), and even OKSavingBank BRION (BRO) - the dark horse that previously upset them in the LCK Cup. With a favorable upcoming schedule, Gen.G appears destined to complete an undefeated Round 1 in the LCK 2025 season. The team leads the league in all key statistics: a 1.71 kill-to-death ratio, 1,987 gold per minute, +276 gold differential per minute, 17.7 kills per game, and 8.3 towers destroyed per game.
Standing in complete contrast is DRX Freecs (DNF), the only winless team in the LCK and current last-place squad. Their numbers paint a grim picture: a 0.59 kill-to-death ratio (worst in LCK), just 1,717 gold per minute, a -214 gold differential per minute, 9.9 kills per game (league-low), and only 3.2 towers taken per game.
Given these extreme disparities in performance and statistics, Gen.G enters as the overwhelming favorite. A 2-0 victory seems inevitable, making Gen.G's -1.5 map handicap (-311*) and Under 2.5 total maps (-370*) the most valuable betting options for this matchup.
Bet: Gen.G vs. DNF odds
LCK: Hanwha Life (-1315*) vs. OKSavingsBank BRION (+648*) - April 24, 2025
Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) is currently riding a five-match winning streak, having faced minimal resistance since their opening match defeat against Gen.G in the LCK 2025 season. Their recent victory over DRX showcased an incredible play by top laner Choi "Zeus" Woo-je on Rumble, where he flashed under tower to flame four DRX players. Though sacrificing himself, his play secured a crucial teamfight victory that earned him Player of the Match honors. “Zeus” has firmly established himself as not just the best top laner in the LCK, but arguably the world's finest.
OKSavingBank BRION (BRO) continues to struggle near the bottom of the LCK standings with a 2-4 record. Their recent matches against top-tier opponents like Gen.G and Dplus KIA (DK) have all resulted in decisive sweeps, and they will likely face the same fate against HLE - another elite LCK squad.
Given the one-sided odds and recent performances, HLE is undoubtedly the heavy favorite in this matchup. A 2-0 sweep appears inevitable, making the HLE -1.5 map handicap (-268*) and Under 2.5 total maps (-325*) the most valuable betting options available.
Bet: Hanwha Life vs. OKSavingsBank BRION odds
LPL: Anyone’s Legend (-168*) vs. JD Gaming (+137*) - April 24, 2025
Anyone's Legend (AL) currently sits at #2 in the LPL, riding an impressive six-match win streak. Their success stems largely from jungler Lee "Tarzan" Seung-yong's dominant performances on carry champions like Naafiri, combined with top laner Li "Flandre" Xuanjun's seemingly endless champion pool. “Flandre” continues to surprise opponents with unconventional picks like Sejuani and Yorick, consistently delivering game-changing impact.
JD Gaming (JDG) finds itself at #4 in the standings (3-3) after a devastating loss to Invictus Gaming (IG). In Game 3, despite maintaining a massive lead and surviving two Baron steals, JDG failed to close out the game when IG's Nexus was reduced to ~100 HP. After being aced, JDG watched helplessly as IG completed a miraculous comeback. Even AD Carry Kim "Peyz" Su-hwan's stellar 13/1/9 KDA couldn't prevent the loss.
In the aftermath, JDG announced the departure of coach Kim "cvMax" Dae-ho - though it's unclear if this relates directly to the loss. This upheaval, combined with facing a red-hot AL squad, positions JDG as clear underdogs. While JDG's roster remains talented on paper, AL's Money Line (-168*) presents the safer betting choice given current momentum and team stability.
Bet: Anyone's Legend vs. JD Gaming odds
