Hanwha Life Esports to defeat DN Freecs 2:0 (odds 1.20)

At 09:00 CET in the LCK 2025, Hanwha Life will face off against DN Freecs. HLE has confidently entered the season and is showcasing a disciplined league performance. DN Freecs still appear unrefined and struggle to compete in macro play. A 2:0 victory for HLE (1.20) is a bet on class and map control.

Gen.G vs T1 total over 2.5 maps (odds 2.10)

At 11:00 CET, we have the main showdown of the LCK. Gen.G and T1 regularly engage in evenly matched battles where key maps are decided in the late game. Both teams come in form and with ambitions. A total of 3 maps (2.10) is a bet on a classic Korean derby.

Top Esports to defeat ThunderTalk Gaming 2:0 (odds 1.35)

At 12:00 CET, TES will play against TT Gaming in the LPL. ThunderTalk lacks stability in any lane, while TES confidently capitalizes on early advantages and prevents comebacks. A 2:0 victory for Top Esports (1.35) is a bet on a confident closure without surprises.

Anyone’s Legend vs Team WE total over 2.5 maps (odds 2.50)

At 14:00 CET in the LPL, teams of similar strength will meet. WE performs better in the mid-game, but AL enjoys aggression and often takes the first map. Both teams are unstable and prone to mistakes. A total of 3 maps (2.50) is a bet on a back-and-forth series.

Keyd Stars to defeat LOUD (odds 1.52)

In the latter half of the day, as part of the LTA 2025, VIvo Keyd Stars will play against LOUD. Keyd has started the season confidently and is showing flexible drafts, while LOUD is searching for a balance between aggression and macro. A victory for Keyd Stars (1.52) is a bet on current form and pace.

In the latter half of spring, the LoL scene is accelerating: teams are increasingly experimenting with drafts, and mistakes are punished instantly. In such an environment, not only names matter but also precise calculation. Remember: a cool head is a player's best ally.
