Betting favoriteGen.G

Few League of Legends fans expected LYON to perform as well as it has, but those who tuned into the team’s domestic matches would know that it’s very individually skilled. Gen.G, on the other hand, is an absolute powerhouse filled with players who could give the best in the world a run for their money. On paper, this should be an easy sweep for Gen.G, but that may not actually be the case.

Gen.G vs LYON match overview

Betting tip: Despite the gap in experience and skill, there’s a strong chance that LYON will win at least one game in this series.

Our Gen.G vs LYON pick: Total maps to be over 3.5 @ 2.13.

Gen.G vs LYON match analysis

Gen.G’s undefeated Swiss run isn’t anything new for the team. With powerhouses such as Chovy and Canyon, it makes sense that it’s the favorite to win this entire thing. In particular, Ruler is a reliable late-game carry who has excellent positioning, especially when paired with Duro’s engage and protection.

On the other hand, LYON is an extremely aggressive team, but that aggression has helped it a lot so far. The team has high coordination, and Berserker’s ability to carry his team is undeniable. However, the team struggles to close out series against stronger teams. There’s a smaller margin for error for LYON, because a strong team like Gen.G will definitely punish any mistake.

The match will likely be closer than most may assume. Looking at when the two teams faced off in the Swiss stage, it’s clear that LYON has what it takes to hurt Gen.G. Because of this, it should be a good idea to take the over on 3.5 maps being played, especially considering the higher potential return. LYON is also the more aggressive team, potentially making it the team to side with for getting first bloods.

However, when the dust settles, Gen.G has a much higher chance of coming out on top. In particular, the LCK team’s champion pool is so diverse that a best-of-five shouldn’t slow it down at all. By contrast, LYON hasn’t showcased the ability to take hold out during a long series against a strong team.

Gen.G vs LYON betting picks & predictions

LYON has made it further in this tournament than most fans likely expected, but the cracks in the team have started showing. Whether it’s the team barely making it out of the Swiss stage or the clear lack of experience, Gen.G has LYON beat on every front. While Gen.G will likely emerge victorious here, LYON’s current roster is quickly becoming one to watch out for.

☑️ My Picks

  • LYON to get first blood: LYON is usually fairly aggressive, which could help the team get some easy first bloods.
  • Total maps to be over 4.5 @ 2.13: LYON already won one game the last time the two teams faced off, and there’s no reason the same shouldn’t repeat here.

Gen.G vs LYON prediction: I predict that Gen.G will comfortably win against LYON with a score of 3-1. This is rated at 1.16 odds at GG.BET.
