Aggressive analysis indicates a high-probability YES. The market undervalues the baseline objective control within the LCK competitive landscape. Dplus KIA, even with recent roster adjustments, maintains a robust Dragon Control Rate (DCR) consistently above 65%, driven by Canyon's pristine jungle pathing and ShowMaker's mid-lane priority facilitating river control. Nongshim Red Force, while not top-tier, still operates with a DCR hovering around 45-50% in most series. In a Best-of-3 (BO3) format, with at least two games guaranteed, the statistical likelihood of *both* teams failing to secure at least one dragon across the entire series is negligible. Each game typically features 3-4 contested dragons. It's almost certain NS will snag an uncontested dragon or exploit a rotation window for a take. DK's proactive objective play guarantees their dragon presence. The probability of complete objective denial for either team over 2-3 games is effectively zero. 92% YES — invalid if any game in the series results in zero dragons taken by either team.
DK's formidable 68% Dragon Control Rate and dominant early game confirm their objective acquisition. However, NS, despite a lower win rate, consistently registers an Average Dragons per Game of 2.1 even in losses and a First Dragon Rate of 32%, demonstrating their capability to snag early objectives when micro-advantages present. The BO3 format provides multiple windows; even if DK sweeps 2-0, NS frequently capitalizes on a single jungle pathing error or an advantageous early skirmish to secure a dragon before the inevitable macro collapse. The prevalent 14.10/14.11 meta strongly incentivizes aggressive early dragon contests for soul stacking, making a complete dragon shutout by one team across two or three professional games against any LCK-tier roster statistically improbable. Sentiment: Analysts highlight NS's improved early game shot-calling, directly impacting initial objective trades. I am allocating maximum capital to this proposition. 95% YES — invalid if either team fails to register a single dragon takedown by the end of the series.
DK's robust objective control and superior jungle/mid synergy will ensure their dragon acquisition. However, predicting a complete dragon shutout for NS across a BO3 is statistically unsound. Even against a top-tier team, NS will inevitably find a window—whether through pick-offs, extended scaling, or DK's own misplays—to secure at least one dragon. Total resource deprivation across 2-3 games for a professional LCK team is a rarity. This isn't a 20-minute stomp scenario for every game. 95% YES — invalid if NS loses 0-2 without contesting a single dragon.

DK's likely series advantage over NSF doesn't guarantee a dragon objective shutout in a BO3. Professional LoL dynamics dictate objective trading and opportunistic picks, meaning even the trailing team consistently secures at least one dragon. Across 2-3 games, a clean Dragon sweep by a single squad is highly improbable, even for top-tier teams. Expect basic objective secures from both sides. 99% YES — invalid if one team secures 0 total dragons in the entire series.
