BNK FEARX vs KT ROLSTER LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

BNK FEARX added three new players ahead of the 2025 LCK<\/a> season, including mid laner Lee “VicLa” Dae-kwang, ADC Nam “Diable” Dae-geun from the academy lineup, and Kim “Kellin” Hyeong-gyu. With two experienced players and a promising ADC, BNK FEARX seem to be in a fine spot, although the departure of support Joo “Duro” Min-kyu and mid laner Lee “Clozer” Ju-hyeon will be noticeable.<\/p>\n

KT Rolster also replaced three members. They kept top laner Lee “PerfecT” Seung-min and mid laner Gwak “Bdd” Bo-sung and re-added jungler Mun “Cuzz” U-chan and got ADC Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil from FunPlus Phoenix and promoted support Han “Way” Gil.<\/p>\n

KT Rolster seem like they downgraded from last season, fielding a fairly underwhelming roster with a great mid laner but mediocre players in other positions. They should do fine against BNK FEARX and other bottom-tier teams, but even this match likely won’t be as clean as suggested by the esports odds found on the top LoL betting sites<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DPLUS KIA vs T1 LOL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS<\/h2>\n<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

Best Odds:<\/td>\nDK $3.31 at GG Bet<\/a> | T1 $1.29 at GG Bet<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
When:<\/td>\nJanuary 16, 2025 | 19:30 KST<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Watch Live:<\/td>\nLolesports, Twitch<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Dplus KIA brought back support Cho “BeryL” Geon-hee and added a new top laner, Jeon “Siwoo” Si-woo, for the 2025 season. The top lane change can go both ways, but the return of BeryL is a big deal.<\/p>\n

Last season, Dplus KIA were competitive but a bit all over the place, without any real direction, indicating a lack of leadership. BeryL will fix that, and if he can get the team in order and if mid laner Heo “ShowMaker” Su has a good season, we could be looking at a very scary Dplus KIA.<\/p>\n

T1 made just one change this offseason, as they were unable to keep top laner Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, who swapped places with Choi “Doran” Hyeon-jun. Widely considered a downgrade, Doran is still an elite player, especially domestically, so it is fair to say T1 will be just as potent in 2025.<\/p>\n

T1 are the better team out of the gate, but if things fall into place, Dplus KIA can become equally as good. So early into the season, a smaller position on the underdogs to win a map is worth a look.<\/p>\n
