TL;DR: LYON (2024 American Team) 53.5% vs Team Liquid 46.5%. LYON are the narrow pick because Berserker owns a major bot-lane advantage at +726 gold at 15, giving the LCS leaders a reliable carry route. Team Liquid’s superior early-game profile makes this BO3 exceptionally close.
LYON enter in first place at 17W-5L and 77.3%, having won 4 of their last 5 series, but Team Liquid arrive hotter. Liquid are third at 16W-7L and 69.6%, yet their 5W-0L recent run includes clean wins over FlyQuest, Sentinels, and Cloud9. The contrast is straightforward: LYON have been the season’s most consistent side, while Liquid are currently converting advantages faster, averaging +5,485 gold compared with LYON’s +1,904 and finishing games in 30.8 minutes rather than 33.1.
The individual matchup around Berserker and Yeon could decide whether LYON can withstand that pace. Berserker has posted a 7.4 KDA, 28.9% damage share, and +726 gold at 15, while Isles contributes 80.1% kill participation behind protective picks such as Milio and Lulu. Liquid’s pressure begins elsewhere: Morgan holds +333 gold at 15, Quid is at +403, and Josedeodo has a remarkable 10.8 KDA despite sitting at -4 gold at 15. There is no supplied recent head-to-head record, so current form and matchup-specific data should carry more weight than narrative.
Draft may determine which team gets to play its preferred game. Orianna brings 70.2% presence and a 49% ban rate, with an 80% win rate over 10G, making her the most credible B1 expectation. Varus, at 67.3% presence and a 54.8% ban rate, is another likely priority, while Nocturne at 65.9% presence and a 51% ban rate could force Liquid to protect Josedeodo’s jungle options.
Polymarket makes LYON the modest favorite at 53.5%, against 46.5% for Team Liquid. That market split reflects LYON’s first-place 17W-5L record and Berserker’s lane edge, while respecting Liquid’s 5W-0L streak, stronger +5,485 early gold differential, and faster 30.8-minute wins.
LYON (2024 American Team) 53.5% vs Team Liquid 46.5% remains the call: LYON’s bot-lane carry ceiling narrowly outweighs Liquid’s early-game momentum.
