LYON vs JD Gaming is the most attractive upset pick of Day 1 for all you gambos, although projecting LYON as an underdog after what we’ve seen at MSI, almost feels wrong. They swept FURIA, Team Secret Whales and G2, before pushing Hanwha Life Esports to a decider in the lower final. Inspired has been central a center piece to their early-map pressure, while Berserker finished MSI with a 5.4 KDA, repeatedly giving LYON a dependable late-game carry.
JDG still have enough quality to punish any team. GALA remains a constant damage threat, while JunJia and HongQ are one of the best jungle-mid duos in the LPL. JDG also beat LYON 3-1 the last time they met at First Stand, so this should not be a matchup anyone can approach as the clear favorite, although recent form have changed the picture slightly. LYON looked far more coordinated at MSI and proved their success is going well past NA competition. This might be the least confident prediction of the eight, but LYON’s momentum makes them a more attractive pick in a best-of-one.
