bbq OLIVERS vs KT Rolster Match Preview & Betting Tips

Kirill | 2018-07-28 |

Out of a total sum of 18 games, 13 to 14 games have been played so far in the LCK Summer 2018. SK Telecom just can’t find consistency at the moment. The team is currently sitting in 7th place and will have to fight hard to finish in the top five. The top five teams will enter the playoffs of the LCK to compete for the qualification of Worlds. Meanwhile, the bottom two teams of the LCK will be relegated to the Spring Promotion. The LCK has been unpredictable so far and things are not changing anytime soon.

KT Rolster is the flying horse of this season of LCK. After some roller coaster matches, the side sits at a decent third place. They have played 14 games in the season, winning nine and losing five. They have been quite unpredictable as they lost to Hanwha Life Esports. However, the team has also beaten SK Telecom 2-0 twice this season, as well as Generation Gaming, the team one game behind first place. So, KT Rolster will be quite confident to achieve a solid top three finish by the end of this season. This incredible performance of the team can be attributed to Song “Smeb” Kyung-ho and Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu.

Smeb, in the top lane, has adapted incredibly to the Meta. He has carried the team on more than one occasion and has been critical in every game from start to the finish. Deft, on the other hand, has been taking care of the bottom lane. Even though the ADC role is not the in the Meta these days, he has been quite consistent. He has also been playing Mages in the bot lane from time to time and has shown no sign of weaknesses. The only problem the team has is in the Jungle. The gold funneling Meta is the need of the hour and KT Rolster just can’t adjust to it. But by the looks of things, KT Rolster have learned to play around their weaknesses and come out on top.

Things are going from bad to worse for the side of bbqOlivers. They have played 13 games in the season from which they lost 11 and won only two. They are sitting at the bottom of the table with no chance of retaining their spot in the LCK. The side, much like a lot of professional teams, has failed to adapt to the new Meta. They have tried to play in the old ways but the changes to the game don’t allow them to do so. The only highlight of their season is that against all odds, they were able to beat SK Telecom T1. This shows how unpredictable the LCK truly is.

Their second victory was against Jin Air Green WIngs who are sitting one rank above them. Apart from Kang “Tempt” Myung-gu, each player of the team has been disappointing this season. However, the bottom lane is where the heart of the problem lies for bbqOlivers, since both ADCs, Jang “Ghost” Yong-jun and Lee “Aries” Chae-hwan, have failed to find consistency to achieve decent stats. This bottom lane is where KT Rolster should capitalize and they will likely do so. BbqOlivers are in no position to win even a single map in this best of three series. So, a dominating win is in the cards for KT Rolster.
