T1 enters this LCK best-of-three as the clear favorite due to superior recent form and roster cohesion. The defending champions have sharpened their macro execution and closing ability across victories over Gen.G, Hanwha Life, and Dplus KIA, maintaining high consistency in the mid and late game. Kiwoom DRX, meanwhile, sits near the bottom of the standings with a sub-40% win rate and has shown vulnerability in objective control and early-game skirmishes. Historical head-to-head data favors T1 heavily, while DRX’s limited success against top-tier opponents this split underscores the gap. Any upset would require DRX to exploit rare drafting advantages or T1’s occasional overextension in transitions.
