The second day of week nine action kicks off with a battle between third placed DRX who take on fourth placed DWG KIA. Given that there is one games difference in records between DRX and DWG KIA, currently sitting at 11-5 (DRX) and 10-6 (DWG KIA), this game could be a kick starter for either team to try and get into that second position. Doing so would result in them avoiding the undefeated T1 in the first round of playoffs.
DRX come into this clash with 4 wins out of their last 5 games, with their only loss coming to Gen.G who sit in second place above them in the standings. DRX have had a good split this spring. They have lost one game against a team below them in the standings and won the rest of their games against teams below them and most of them convincingly. Unfortunately they have lost all of their games to the top two teams above them, in Gen.G and T1. Both their mid lane Kim “Zeka” Geon-woo and AD carry Kim “Deft” Hyeok-gyu have been taking matters into their own hands with both players amassing 4.5 and 4.7 KDA’s respectively.
DWG KIA have got similar form references to DRX. They have won all but one game against teams that are below them in the standings and lost all of their games against teams above them, being T1, Gen.G and DRX. DWG KIA have also won four out of their last five games, with their only loss coming against Gen.G, similarly to DRX. Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil has been huge for DWG KIA during this split, compiling a massive 5.4 KDA and providing nearly 30% of the team’s damage on average per series.
With the similarities in record and form, this game sets up to be another cracker just like last time they met, where DRX won 2-1 and the third, decisive map took 46 minutes for DRX to finally take the win. This match is destined to go to 3 maps, it is going to be a great game, so the $2.00 on offer with the online betting sites for over 2.5 maps is a steal.
Over 2.5 maps

For the second and final match of the day we have sixth placed Kwangdong Freecs and bottom placed Hanwha Life Esports. This match shapes up as a more one-sided affair, in favour of Kwangdong Freecs. ‘
Kwangdong Freecs are coming off three consecutive losses against T1, Gen.G and DRX, with all of their matches going to the third map. Considering Kwangdong Freecs have pushed the top three teams to three maps it should fill them with a lot of confidence entering this series against Hanwha Life Esports. If Kwangdong Freecs can win the rest of their series in the split with T1, Gen.G and DRX in the rear-vision mirror, they should successfully gain a play-off spot in 5th or 6th position.
Kwangdong Freecs recent form and consistency against the top three teams throughout this split, it is easy to see why Kwangdong Freecs are the $1.40 favourites to take out this BO3. The smart money and the way we suggest investing here would be on Kwangdong Freecs at the match line of -1.5, currently sitting at $2.37 with Betway.
Kwangdong Freecs -1.5
