Betting Predictions for June 16
Afreeca Freecs vs. KT Rolster
We’re up for an interesting match here, with the #2 and #3 teams from last split duking it out in a battle for a temporary leading position on the table. KT comes to their first big test of the split, and if they can beat Afreeca, maybe the road to glory isn’t that far from their grasp.
Deft performed exceptionally well on the surprising Ashe pick against Jin Air, and also had a good Mordekaiser in game 2. The show, however, was stolen by their 17-year-old mid laner Ucal, who showed the full range of his skills and got two Player of the Game awards. All 5 of Afreeca’s players had great games on the other side, and it will be interesting to see who will be their next carry: Kuro, Spirit, Aiming or Kiin? Afreeca have a small advantage here, due to KT missing their starting jungler, but anything can happen in this match.
Chance of winning: AFS 60%, KT 40%
Betting prediction: Afreeca Freecs to win, paying +100 at BetOnline.
bbq Olivers vs. Griffin
It sounds like Griffin have quite an easy schedule in the first week. After winning their first LCK series against Hanwha Life, the rookies are looking crisp. The same can’t be said for bbq, as they got decimated by MVP’s crazy picks, although while playing some equally crazy comps as well.
Griffin’s mid laner Chovy was probably the most impressive of the bunch so far. His confident and dominating performance is what brought them the biggest edge in teamfights, along with great picks from their support Lehends. Aries, bbq’s new ADC, is looking like the most positive thing about the team right now, and his aggression is quite refreshing to see. Griffin are still likely the better team here, and could find themselves near the top of the table after this game.
Chance of winning: bbq 30%, GRF 70%
Betting prediction: Griffin to win, paying -200 at BetOnline.

Betting Predictions for June 14
Hanwha Life Esports vs. bbq Olivers
Hanwha will be playing their second match of the split against everyone’s favourite bottom team. A victory against bbq is a must for any team wishing to get into playoffs, and HLE are surely eyeing that gauntlet run.
Hanwha’s advantages in this matchup are easily noticeable right off the bat. SeongHwan developed greatly over the last split and will surely try to control bbq’s shaky jungler Bless, and the same goes for Lindarang, who can hold his own against the volatile Crazy. The Olivers will likely focus their attention on their mid laner Tempt, who will try to get an early lead against Lava. It probably won’t be enough, though, as Hanhwa are a much more composed and disciplined team, who should be able to take the win home.
Betting prediction: Hanwha Life Esports to win, paying -200 at BetOnline.
MVP vs. Griffin
MVP’s fanbase will be eagerly awaiting this match, where their favourite team will try to get back at Griffin for destroying them in Promotions a month ago. The rookie squad will be looking to repeat that performance, and gather some confidence before facing the true heavyweights.
Last time MVP and Griffin played against each other, it ended in a 3-1 win for the then-Challenger squad, after a stunning performance by their bot laners Viper and Lehends. It’s not often that a BO5 series in Korean League of Legends is won by raw talent, but Griffin made it work in a very impressive manner. This should be a good way to see if Griffin are a future top team: if they can consistently beat mediocre line-ups like MVP now, who knows what we might see from these guys in a year or two.
Betting prediction: Griffin to win, paying -188.68 at BetOnline.

Betting Predictions for June 12
bbq Olivers vs. MVP
Two teams that were struggling to stay afloat over the entire Spring Split will play the starting match, and will be looking to get a good result in hopes of doing better than last time. There haven’t been any important roster changes in either team, aside from bbq adding a substitute ADC to help Ghost overcome his pressure issues, and MVP’s Beyond changing names to Yondu.
Even though the teams may seem equally “bad”, MVP still haven’t lost to bbq in over a year and a half. MVP’s philosophy of living and dying as a team has always worked well against the disorganized Olivers, and their strongest player Pilot may have a field day in the bot lane if Ghost or even the young Aries don’t perform up to the highest level. bbq might look for an advantage in the top lane, where MVP’s ADD had been struggling, but overall, MVP have a slightly better chance of starting the campaign with a win.
Result: 2-0 to MVP
Griffin vs. Hanwha Life Esports
At last we get to see Griffin play at the big stage. The full-rookie squad, touted by analysts as one of the most talented new line-ups to ever appear in Korea, will be facing the Hanwha Life squad, who had a decent Spring Split as ROX Tigers and are surely feeling good about the future.
What HLE showed last split was how impressive a one-strategy team can look, if they know how to play their one strategy. SeongHwan’s playmaking, Lava’s relentless aggression and Sangyoon’s safe positioning were enough to win them games against most weaker teams, and sometimes even to surprise the top dogs. However, I think Griffin is the team to watch here. The new kids on the block are yet to lose a series in 2018, with a phenomenal 33-3 game record in Challengers and Promotions, and that just shows that they might be looking for much more than just surviving in the LCK. They just looked too good this year to not be considered favourites against Hanwha.
Betting prediction: Griffin to win, paying +110 at BetOnline.

]]>The bottom two teams in the Korea league are out of playoffs contention, but that doesn’t mean there are not betting opportunities.
The second match sees SKT desperately clinging to their finals hopes as they chase the final spot. We can’t wait for it to begin.
www.iirgulf.com expert Kosta gives his betting predictions ahead of the two big clashes
BBQ Olivers v Kongdoo Monster
I’ve mentioned bbq as a team that has been doing badly this split, but it’s going even worse for poor Kongdoo. The Monster hasn’t found a win since Week 2, and right now, no win will save them from jaws of relegation matches.
Kongdoo vs. bbq is a weird matchup, in the sense that no team really seems to have developed a strategy they would be comfortable using. The most logical approach for bbq would be to try and let Ghost carry, but the young ADC crumbles under pressure so often that even Kongdoo might be a difficult task for him. Crazy and Trick should be a threat for the opposing top-jungle duo, who have been playing awfully since the start. If Kongdoo can get Ssol rolling, it could be close, but I think that even a weak bbq is too strong for our last place team.
Best bet: BBQ Olivers will be too strong, back them at -294.12 at BetOnline.
SK Telecom T1 v MVP
Rarely do we see SKT in this position. The most decorated org of all time has to fight tooth and nail for the last playoff spot, and they absolutely have to win this game.
SKT have been hard to watch, with all of their players struggling at some point. Blank’s skill seems to have fallen in a bottomless pit, and Untara is spending more and more time on the bench in favour of a rookie. If MVP want to win, they will probably target top lane as much as possible and try not to lose bottom lane too hard. SKT have been hurt multiple times by this strategy, and sometimes not even Faker and Bang could carry them away from defeat.
I actually think MVP could take this, but since they will most likely be safe, will they even care? SKT is looking like a shaky favourite because a win is a necessity for them.
Best bet: SKT will keep the title dreams alive, bet on them at -277.78 at BetOnline.

]]>Here are our top picks for week 4 of the LCK 2018 Spring Split:
LCK Spring Split – Parlay of the Week with Bovada.lv
- Jin Air Green Wings to beat Kingzone DragonX: +200 ($3.00)
- BBQ Olivers to beat MVP: -250 ($1.40)
- SK Telecom T1 to beat KSV Esports: -250 ($1.40)
- KT Rolster to beat Kongdoo Monster: -500 ($1.20)
Kingzone DragonX vs. Jin Air Green Wings
Saturday, February 10, 3am EST / 8am GMT
Kingzone DragonX is about due for an upset and Jin Air Green Wings are the team to do it.
With a creep up the leaderboards and some historic record-breaking wins over SK Telecom T1 and other giants, Jin Air have made great picks and displayed on-point team comps that make us confident they’ll bring their A-game this Friday.
Both midlaner Lee ‘Grace’ Chanju and ADC Park ‘Teddy’ Jin-sung have dominated as roamers and shotcallers in recent weeks to bring the team in the same high regard as KDX and KSV, and bottom-laner Ji-min ‘Wraith’ Kwon has decisively shut out botlane threats time and time again.
Kingzone jungler Han ‘Peanut’ and support Kang ‘GorillA’ Beom-hyeon are their biggest threats in the KDA department, but so long as Wraith can free up Grace and Teddy to split-push, we’re confident they stand a great chance here.
Jin Air Green Wings to beat Kingzone DragonX: +200 ($3.00) at Bovada.lv
BBQ Olivers vs. MVP
Saturday, February 10, 6am EST / 11am GMT
BBQ Olivers showed some improvement last week, unexpectedly taking KSV Esports down to the wire with smart late-game team compositions and an overtime performance from AD carry Yongjun ‘Ghost’ Jang’s Kog’Maw, which saw him rack up a 7/0/2 KDA (kills/deaths/assists).
Properly taking advantage of a substantial gold lead remains BBQ’s main problem in this series, but we think they’ll have learned their lesson in time for their clash against the weakest team in the LCK.
They might not even need too, given the frankly laughable 1 – 5 performance MVP has put on so far, practically rolling over to KSV last week at every teamfight or objective struggle.
Expect another bloodbath in favour of BBQ Olivers here.
BBQ Olivers to beat MVP: -250 ($1.40) at Bovada.lv
SK Telecom T1 vs. KSV Esports
Sunday, February 11, 3am EST / 8am GMT
SK Telecom T1 has got to be the most disappointing LCK roster this series.
Fresh off their 2-0 sweep at the hands of Afreeca Freecs and their embarrassing loss to the equally unimpressive MVP, this is nowhere near the same world champion team fans rooted for last year.
KSV are clearly in top form with superior team compositions and individual player laning.
They won’t even need their full roster to secure this win if top laner Lee ‘CuVee’ Seong-jin continues to shut out his opponents as brutally as he managed last weekend with BBQ.
SK Telecom T1 to beat KSV Esports: -250 ($1.40) at Bovada.lv
KT Rolster vs. Kongdoo Monster
Sunday, February 11, 6am EST / 11am GMT
Aside from some account sharing drama with midlaner Cho ‘Mata’ Se-hyeong, KT Rolster have played consistently great LoL to breathe down the necks of both Kingzone DragonX and KSV Esports in third place.
Kongdoo delivered a great upset over KSV but they were categorically outmatched in the midlane and bot lane by Jin Air Green Wings last week – to an embarrassing extent.
Their top laner Kim ‘Roach’ Kang-hui seems to have run out of steam and against KT’s Song ‘Smeb’ Kyung-ho, we’re expecting some fairly straightforward teamfights here.
KT Rolster to beat Kongdoo Monster: -500 ($1.20) at Bovada.lv
