Preview

DRX v Kwangdong Freecs

T1 have grabbed the headlines in the ever-popular LCK Spring Split season by breaking the record for the competition's longest unbeaten streak but, only a couple of places below them in the standings, DRX are also progressing well.

With a 10-5 record in the Spring Split, DRX are in a great position for a playoff berth and could even push for a top-two finish and a consequent bye to the semi-finals.

Beating Kwangdong Freecs, who have lost three of their last four matches in the Split, would be a good start and DRX can justify favouritism.

Minnesota ROKKR v Toronto Ultra

Although they were hosts, OpTic Texas defied expectations to win Major One in the Call of Duty League season and Minnesota ROKKR will hope to follow suit in their home Major, which starts at the end of March.

There is firstly the small matter of the qualifiers and with the added motivation of hosting Major Two, ROKKR can record a surprise win over Toronto Ultra.

These sides finished with identical 2-3 records in the Major One qualifier and Minnesota can put up more of a fight than the prices suggest.

Paris Legion v LA Guerrillas

Qualifying for Major One in the Call of Duty League went badly for Paris Legion, who lost all five of their matches, but the addition of Challengers talent Thomas "GRVTY" Malin seems to have improved them.

Legion managed to win their first match in the losers' bracket of the actual Major One event against Seattle Surge and with former Atlanta FaZe Academy starlet Bryan "Jimbo" Sabmanm joining their roster this week, they could go from strength to strength.

They can be competitive in Saturday's clash with LA Guerrillas and are worth backing at -1.5 maps on the handicap.
