LCK Weekly: Gen.G's Historic Streak Snapped by T1
Last week was monumental for T1 and its fans. On July 25, T1 delivered a statement victory at home, handing Gen.G their first loss of the year and ending their record-breaking 27-match winning streak, the longest in League of Legends history.
Just two days later, on July 27, T1 followed that up with a clean 2-0 sweep against Nongshim RedForce (NS), again on home turf. Capping off the celebration, the organization announced breaking news: Legendary mid-laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok has re-signed with T1 until 2029.
Upcoming Matches – July 30
DRX (+233*) vs. Dplus KIA (-312*)
On paper, the odds for this matchup heavily favor Dplus KIA (DK). But recent results suggest it might be closer than expected. DK was upset last week by OKSavingsBank Brion (BRO) despite entering as a –400 favorite. Both DK and DRX currently hold 1-1 records since the LCK season resumed, setting the stage for a potentially tight series.
If you're expecting a closer contest, DRX Handicap +1.5 is priced at –133* with Total Maps Over 2.5 listed at +118*.
KT Rolster (+229*) vs. T1 (-306*)
This matchup leans heavily in favor of T1, who have looked unstoppable since returning to the LCK. First, they snapped Gen.G’s historic 27-match winning streak, then clean-sweeped Nongshim RedForce (NS), all before announcing that legendary mid-laner Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok has re-signed with the team through 2029. With all this momentum, T1 is easily one of the best teams in the league right now.
On the other hand, KT Rolster struggled in their last outing, getting stomped by Hanwha Life Esports (HLE). A massive bot lane gap was exposed, with HLE’s Park "Viper" Do-hyeon putting up an incredible 20/1/10 KDA (30.0 ratio). A similar mismatch could play out again against T1’s World Champion bot lane duo.
For bettors who believe in a dominant outing, T1 Handicap –1.5 is listed at +113*.

LPL Weekly: Anyone’s Legend Still Searching for First Domestic Win
After a rough run in MSI 2025 and the Esports World Cup, Bilibili Gaming (BLG) made yet another roster adjustment. This time bringing in Zhao "Shadow" Zhiqiang as the new starting jungler, benching Yang "Beichuan" Ling. This marks BLG’s fourth jungler since last year’s World Championship. The pattern is familiar: when BLG begins to struggle, they swap junglers, and often experience a short-term performance boost.
Shadow’s debut match was no small task, up against Anyone’s Legend (AL), the best-performing LPL team on the international stage in 2025. Surprisingly, BLG managed to upset AL, flipping the script on expectations. AL went on to lose to Weibo Gaming (WBG), starting Split 3 with a 0–2 record. Meanwhile, BLG defeated FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) to move to 2–0.
It’s a striking contrast: AL performed well internationally, and now sits winless in domestic play, while BLG, under heavy scrutiny, appears rejuvenated with a new look. Will this trend continue, or is another shift on the horizon?
Upcoming Highlight Match – July 30
Team WE (+457*) vs. Anyone’s Legend (-767*)
After back-to-back losses against Bilibili Gaming (BLG) and Weibo Gaming (WBG), Anyone’s Legend (AL) is still searching for their first win in Split 3. While those matches were tough against strong contenders, AL now faces a more favorable matchup against Team WE, who currently sits at the bottom of the standings at 0-3.
Despite AL’s struggles upon returning from international competition, they are still considered a stronger team on paper. However, it’s not uncommon for teams coming off successful international runs to falter initially in their domestic leagues. These teams often have limited rest, their strategies become well-studied by rivals, and they sometimes experiment with new drafts or approaches, leading to inconsistent results.
This upcoming match presents a crucial opportunity for AL to get back on track, and for bettors, a chance to capitalize if AL regains form. For a deeper dive into the post-international performance pattern, check out our full breakdown on Reddit.
For bettors anticipating a long battle, Total Maps Over 2.5 is listed at +165*. While AL is the stronger team on paper, their recent form and common post-international struggles suggest that Team WE could make it a competitive series. Expect a closer fight than the standings might imply.
Bet: Team WE vs. Anyone’s Legend odds
Invictus (+195*) vs. Bilibili Gaming (-251*)
This upcoming clash is shaping up to be one of the most intense matchups in the LPL. Former BLG jungler Yan "Wei" Yangwei now starts for Invictus Gaming (IG), and he’ll be looking to prove that he wasn’t the sole reason behind BLG’s losing streak in Split 2, or the reason he was benched.
While IG has shown promise with a 2-2 record, their recent loss to FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) highlights ongoing inconsistencies. On the other hand, BLG is favored coming into this match, riding the momentum of the so-called “new jungler buff” after adding Zhao "Shadow" Zhiqiang to their lineup.
Despite BLG’s edge, this match could be tighter than expected. IG Handicap +1.5 at –161* could appeal to players backing “Wei” in his redemption arc. Additionally, Total Maps Over 2.5 at +108* could be a solid consideration, given the emotional stakes and both teams’ potential to push the series deep.
