① Polar Squad eSports enter with solid form and a favorable map pool that should let them exploit Lyon Academy's gaps on key maps.
② Lyon Academy have shown improvements lately, but their execution under pressure often wavers in decisive moments of a Bo3.
③ Recent head-to-heads indicate Polar Squad perform better on their strongest roles while Lyon's draft flexibility remains situational.
① G3V E-Sports are favored to sweep Sdm Tigres given their home advantage and recent momentum.
② Sdm Tigres have shown resilience but struggle to close out maps against stronger opposition on the current patch.
③ G3V's aggressive early game and map control align with the patch's meta, allowing them to pressure Tigres before they stabilize.
① Ncg eSports enters the series with a clear home map advantage and has shown stronger macro execution in recent LRn fixtures.
② Fuego has flashed resilience in skirmishes but consistently loses decisive teamfights in late-game transitions, giving Ncg the edge in a tight three-map contest.
③ Ncg's map pool depth and prioritization of their strongest lanes put them in a favorable position on the most-played maps.
① Icon eSports enter as the slight favorite at home with a more cohesive macro approach and stronger laning phase in recent fixtures.
② Zeu5 eSports has shown moments of brilliance, but their consistency across two or three maps remains a question mark.
③ Icon's likely willingness to contest early objectives could swing the series in their favor, particularly on maps where first blood opportunities are high.
