What to Expect from This Game
Our G2 Esports vs Dplus KIA prediction for this game is that Dplus KIA will pick up the win in a competitive game. Dplus KIA are the current favorites due to the precedent that they already defeated G2 Esports back in July in the Esport World Cup.
G2 Esports, however, have the stronger season-long win rate, so it is entirely possible that G2 pick up the win here as well if they approach this game with a different strategy than they did back in July.

Looking at the figures upon first glance, G2 do actually outperform Dplus in several statistical categories. While they are quite evenly matched, G2 actually edge Dplus in most categories.
However, it’s important to note that G2 competed in a much less competitive league, the LEC based in Europe, compared to Dplus KIA competing in the best LoL league in the world, the LCK based out of Korea with the best opposition. Therefore, you can’t treat many of these figures as direct measurements of team strength.

Players and Matchups to Watch
There are actually a number of different matchups that can go either way here, but will definitely lead to competitive and entertaining viewing.
| Matchup | G2 player | DK player |
|---|---|---|
| Mid: Caps vs ShowMaker - KDA | 4.31 | 3.59 |
| Mid: Gold difference at 15 | +302 | +168 |
| Jungle: SkewMond vs Lucid - KDA | 4.63 | 3.28 |

The most interesting head to head here is Caps vs Showmaker. Caps does clearly have the stronger average, with his early-game gold differentials being higher as shown above. However, ShowMaker, has dealt with more high pressure international matches, and picked up the win several times to win the Esports World Cup, including against G2 previously.

Our Tips to Win G2 Esports vs Dplus KIA
Our G2 Esports vs Dplus KIA prediction tips remain the same: we believe Dplus KIA will edge this one out, with moderate confidence. There’s a few different reason why we think Dplus KIA will once again beat G2:
International record
It is true that G2 have a stronger domestic record, but Dpus KIA’s international results don’t lie. They defeated G2 back in July, have several high profile international victories and were victorious in dominant fashion in the Esports World Cup this year.
Jungle and Mid matchups
We talked before how ShowMaker has more experience dealing with high pressure differentials in the mid. The jungle matchup is also important, as both SkewMond and Lucid both have positive early-game gold differentials. However, Lucid is known to be unpredictable in jungle gameplay, and he outplayed SkewMond before back in July.
If you’re looking for an alterative market to back, we’d buy into the G2 getting the first Baron as a trade or as a prop bet. Their total average Baron is higher, and the odds are competitive on prediction markets and bookmakers, specifically favoring G2 to get the first Baron.
