League of Legends betting sites have Team BDS priced as 1.15 favourites to defeat MAD Lions KOI, who enter the series as 4.80 underdogs. Based on what we've seen from the two teams this split, that offer doesn't sound too wrong, as MAD Lions KOI struggled a lot during the regular season.

Team BDS Form

Team BDS ended the LEC 2024 Summer regular season tied for first place with an 8-1 record, which is impressive. But at the same time, it's important to remember that BDS have always been effective in best-of-one (BO1) series, but less so in the knockout stage.

This is a good enough reason to doubt their chances to make it very far this playoffs. Nevertheless, beating MAD Lions KOI should come easy.

MAD Lions KOI Form

MAD Lions KOI clawed their way into the LEC 2024 Summer Playoffs by the skin of their teeth after winning the tiebreakers against Rogue and Team Vitality and ending the split on a three-game winning streak.

This sounds much better than it really is, considering the MAD Lions have only beaten Rogue (twice), Vitality, and Team Heretics this split. Despite reaching the playoffs, MAD Lions are clearly one of the bottom LoL esports teams in the league.

They've been terrible in not giving away too much in the games, as they usually slowly bleed out against any semi-capable teams.

Given the time MAD Lions KOI have to prepare for this series, they might do better, but there are some underlying issues with the team which can't be fixed on such short notice.

Verdict

Team BDS v MAD Lions KOI

Team BDS managed to produce impressive numbers during the regular season as they ranked first in the early game with the best gold difference per minute (+251) in the league. MAD Lions KOI rank bottom of the table across most stats, including gold difference per minute (-198).

But besides the clear gap stats-wise, Team BDS are the better team based on the eye test metrics, having shown significantly better performances individually and as a unit. This should be a quick sweep.
