Day 2

Game 1 – SK Telecom T1 vs. bbq OLIVERS

While by no means are SK Telecom dominating the LCK scene, currently placing around the lower to middle ranks of the ladder, they remain stronger than bbq. Bbq are placed at the bottom of the ladder, having finished week 5 with two wins, now 2-10. While they were able to surprisingly defeat the Afreeca freecs, it is unlikely they will defeat SKT.

Prediction: SK Telecom T1 65% l bbq OLIVERS 35%

Game 2 – Hanwha Life Esports vs. Jin Air Green Wings

Hanwha Life Esports were looking extremely good heading into week 5, being able to contend for one of the top positions. Unfortunately, they dropped both their games last week, likely tilting the team, which may cause poor play in Game 2. That said, Jin Air are also very week, only one win away sharing the bottom spot with bbq.

Prediction: Hanwha Life Esports 75% l Jin Air Green Wings 25%

Hanwha Life Esports

Game 3 – MVP vs. Afreeca Freecs

MVP has lost four of their last five games, placing them in an extremely poor position having failed to improve as the LCK progressed. While Afreeca Freecs did also slow down, losing to bbq earlier last week, they remain a top team in the LCK.

Prediction: MVP 30% l Afreeca Freecs 70%

Day 3

Game 1 – King-zone Dragon X vs. kt Rolster

Both these teams are undoubtedly strong, the two currently being strong contenders to take out the top spot in the LCK. This week will definitely separate these two teams, with the victor extremely likely to be able to secure a top three, or even top two position. KT were able to take down Griffin, the fan favourite in the LCK, now tied with Gen.G as the top team. Having most recently shown results by defeating one of the best teams in the LCK, KT are slightly favoured.

Predictions: King-zone Dragon X 47% l kt Rolster 53%

Kingzone Dragon X

Game 2 – Gen.G vs. Griffin

The third day’s game two will be a battle between the two strongest teams in the LCK, Gen.G and Griffen. Gen.G were strong prior to week 5, however, not many expected them to defeat both King-zone and the Afreeca Freecs, two wins that cement their strength. While Griffen lost to Afreeca Freecs earlier last week, they maintain their standing as a top team. This match is unpredictable and can go both ways.

Prediction: Gen.G 50% l Griffen 50%
