Day 2 Schedule
Matchup Previews and Predictions
BLG vs LNG
BLG showcased their strength on Day 1 with a decisive win over MAD, leveraging a strong Kai'Sa and Rell performance by Elk and ON. LNG, on the other hand, had a strong showing against TL, with Scout leading the charge alongside Zika and GALA. Both teams have the tools to take control early, making this a battle of mid-lane dominance and objective control.
Prediction: BLG's consistency and recent form give them a slight edge. Expect them to capitalize on their strong objective setups and take the win.
GEN.G vs TES
This matchup between LCK and LPL powerhouses could easily be a grand final in its own right. Gen.G took down WBG in a long, hard fought battle on Day 1, with Chovy and Peyz shining. TES, however, defeated T1 in a close game, showcasing their powerful bot lane strength and incredible spacing in teamfights. It will likely come down to macro play and teamfighting for dragon control.
Prediction: It's a tight call, but TES's aggressive playstyle and ability to fight when even gives them a narrow advantage in this Bo1.
G2 vs HLE
G2 cruised past PNG on Day 1, while HLE dismantled PSG, making this matchup one of Europe versus Korea. G2 will likely rely on their strong map-wide pressure and Caps' split pushing, while HLE brings macro depth and mechanical prowess. Look for an explosive mid-lane battle between Caps and Zeka.
Prediction: G2 is consistently able to create a strong gap between themselves and the opposing team, but this game could go either way. We predict a G2 win in a close contest.
WBG vs TL
Weibo Gaming barely fell short against GEN.G, but their strong gameplay still poses a significant threat. Team Liquid struggled to keep up with LNG despite their best efforts and will need to tighten their coordination. The key here is WBG's superior mid laner and ADC, which could be TL's undoing.
Prediction: WBG should take this, assuming they can suppress TL's early-game attempts.
T1 vs PNG
T1, fresh off to a valiant loss to TES, will be looking to bounce back. PNG, one of the surprise qualifiers, faces a monumental task here. Faker and his team are famous for regrouping after early losses, and PNG may not have the tools to stop them.
Prediction: A comfortable win for T1, as they are expected to overwhelm PNG across the map.
FLY vs DK
FlyQuest secured a win on Day 1, but DK presents an entirely different challenge. With ShowMaker and Lucid performing at their best, DK's aggressive early dives and mid-game skirmishes will test FLY's resilience and team coordination.
Prediction: DK has the upper hand and should win this match if they maintain their aggression and pacing.
FNC vs GAM
Fnatic couldn't find their footing against DK on Day 1, while GAM suffered a bad loss to FLY. Both teams will be fighting hard to avoid an 0-2 start. FNC's key lies in their ability to execute better teamfights around objectives, while GAM will look to bring chaos with aggressive plays.
Prediction: FNC is likely to stabilize and secure their first win here.
PSG vs MDK
Both teams come into this matchup looking for redemption after a rough Day 1. PSG Talon fell to HLE, while MAD Lions were routed by BLG. MDK's experience and early game potential should give them the edge, but PSG is known for surprising stronger teams.
Prediction: MDK should prevail, but PSG could pull off an upset.
