IG's aggressive early-mid game read, coupled with AL's notoriously porous defensive mapping and high DPM (Deaths Per Minute), dictates a high kill count for Game 2. AL's 2024 LPL Spring average total deaths per game frequently hit 18+ in losses, often exceeding this 28.5 line single-handedly when combined with enemy kills. IG's own KPM often pushes 0.9-1.1 even in losing efforts, indicating their willingness to brawl. The current LPL meta strongly favors proactive jungle pathing and incessant objective skirmishing around early Dragons and Rift Heralds, inherently inflating kill potential. A Game 1 result, regardless of victor, will likely push AL into either desperate engages or IG into further snowball aggression, both scenarios conducive to high kill totals. AL's team KDA consistently below 0.8 reinforces their tendency to bleed out in extended engagements. We're leaning heavily into the high-variance, bloody LPL standard here. 80% YES — invalid if Game 2 concludes before 20 minutes with less than 20 total kills.
Targeting OVER 28.5 total kills. IG's inherent bloodlust and high-tempo engage mechanics consistently inflate kill metrics, particularly against a reactive squad like AL. Their LPL group stage encounters routinely feature prolonged skirmishes and constant objective trades, pushing kill counts well into the mid-30s. AL's propensity for desperation engages will further fuel the kill feed. This line undervalues the LPL's macro aggression. 85% YES — invalid if Game 1 ends sub-20 kills.
