predict.fun puts GEN’s probability of beating BLG in the League of Legends S16 World Championship final at 60%. According to Odaily, the teams are set to contest a best-of-five final for the Summoner’s Cup at 3 a.m. today.
GEN defeated LYON and IG 3-0 in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively, and has not dropped a game in the knockout stage. Its only lost game of the tournament came in a 2-1 Swiss-stage win over LYON. BLG beat DK 3-0 and defending champion T1 3-1, eliminating two LCK teams.
Neither mid laner, Chovy nor Knight, has won the World Championship. Chovy is making his first appearance in the final, while Knight could become the first non-Korean mid laner to win the title since Season 3.
