Gen.G enter the third week of LCK 2022 Spring with a perfect 4-0 record following wins against DRX (2-0), DWG KIA (2-1), Fredit BRION (2-0), and Hanwha Life Esports (2-1). And according to the top esports betting sites, they should be 5-0 after this bout.
Kwangdong Freecs have managed only one win so far, against Liiv SANDBOX (2-0), but were far less convincing against T1 (0-2), KT Rolster (0-2), and DRX (0-2). They have had some solid moments, but it’s hard to believe Kwangdong Freecs can cause an upset on Wednesday.
That’s not to say that Gen.G are perfect, but this is LCK’s superteam, and until they lose to either T1 or DWG KIA, Gen.G are the best Korean LoL esports team and a cut above Kwangdong Freecs, who might not even make the playoffs. The offered LoL betting odds look about right, and there is no value in backing the outsiders, even with a map advantage.

| LoL Betting Odds: | DRX $1.83 at Betway | FB $1.93 at Betway |

The latest LoL odds show DRX as $1.83 favourites to defeat Fredit BRION, which sounds fair, but we would argue that price is still a bit too high. Admittedly, DRX have managed only one win so far, against the unconvincing Kwangdong Freecs, but they played well against Korea’s top dogs in T1 and Gen.G.
Fredit BRION hold the same 1-3 record, with a win against Hanwha Life Esports (2-1) and three losses against T1 (1-2), Gen.G (0-2), and DWG KIA (0-2). Admittedly, Fredit have been fairly competitive this season, and they have achieved more impressive results than DRX – but only on paper.
Talent-wise, DRX are a class above Fredit BRION. They won’t be competing for the LCK title anytime soon, but with the players on the team, DRX should emerge as playoff gatekeepers once they find some traction. DRX have had some tough matches so far, but there’s more to this team than their record suggests.
DRX to win
