Team BDS defeated SK Gaming on Saturday and, with that, set themselves nicely to secure a spot in the playoffs. However, beating SK Gaming does not really prove much, nor does BDS' previous victory against Rogue, who, like SK Gaming, are in terrible shape.

Team BDS are actually not a terrible team if we focus purely on their performance stats, but the eye test proves that BDS are far from great. They have not been playing well any only really looked good against the league's bottom teams.

GIANTX are doing well this season, although they have suffered back-to-back one-sided losses against Fnatic and G2 Esports. A good indication that GIANTX are not quite one of the top two teams granted they do well against weaker opponents, and this game should be one of those.

  • Team BDS's stats are misleading; this is an average team at best
  • GIANTX are in good form despite their struggles against the league's top teams
  • The favourites should win

Head to Head


Team BDS and GIANTX have yet to meet this season.

Team BDS Form


Team BDS enter the penultimate day of LEC Winter 2025 with a 3-4 record, which puts them in a decent spot to secure a spot in the playoffs. That does not mean this is a good team.

Their statistics this split are not terrible, especially if we look at their gold differential at pre-20 minutes. Moreover, their neutral objective numbers are quite solid. Yet despite all that, Team BDS are not playing well – especially when faced with good squads.

Their numbers are a bit inflated due to Team BDS' trashing of weaker teams.

Team BDS Squad & Team News


Team BDS have not made any roster changes.

  • Joel "Irrelevant" Scharoll – top lane
  • Doğukan "113" Balcı – jungle
  • Ilias "nuc" Bizriken – mid lane
  • Yoon "Ice" Sang-hoon – ADC
  • Polat "Parus" Çiçek – support

GIANTX Form


GIANTX are 3-4 ahead of the penultimate day of the LEC Winter 2025 regular season, with losses against Karmine Corp in the first week and G2 Esports and Fnatic in their last two outings.

While seeing three losses next to their name is not too inspiring, GIANTX have been playing well and are probably a much better team than how it seems. For this match, they will be offside, which bumps them down a bit, but even then, we have to consider that Team BDS do not do well against strong opponents.

GIANTX Squad & Team News


No changes for GIANTX.

  • Eren "Lot" Yıldız – top lane
  • Can "Closer" Çelik – jungle
  • Adam "Jackies" Jeřábek – mid lane
  • Oh "Noah" Hyeon-taek – ADC
  • Yoon "Jun" Se-jun – support

Verdict

GIANTX are priced as 1.70 favourites, which looks like a very cheap number, mainly because Team BDS usually struggle when faced with capable teams. On the other side, Team BDS might actually be a good team who were a bit unlucky, given their solid performance figures, but until they perform against a good squad I'll continue to doubt them.

With side choice, Team BDS will be in the best possible position to cause an upset and I'll go back on my word and admit BDS are actually good if they come out ahead.

But until BDS show something, I would much prefer to be on the side of GIANTX.
