Being a degen is a core principle of our SGPN listeners and readers. Well, what’s more degen than sweating out how many 180s will be thrown in a darts match? Or how many kills a player will get in Call of Duty? Allow us to introduce our Random Play of the Day, a pick so obscure, it will have you friends questioning your sanity.
Every day, we scour the books and DFS sites for that one special play off the beaten path. Today, we turn our attention to our friends across the Pacific Ocean and the League of Legends LCK Cup which is entering Week 11 of the regular season.
Degens Only Play of the Day: August 1st, 2025

T1 enters this match 14-7 on the season and directly behind Hanwha Life for third place in the Rise Group. They’ve jumped out to a 3-0 to start this round. They even handed Gen.G their first and only loss so far this season. On top of that, they have shut out their last two opponents.
Despite their recent momentum, T1 has struggled this season against Hanwha Life. T1 was shutout in both of their regular season matches However, they were able to exact some measure of revenge knocking Hanwha Life out of the Road to MSI bracket with a 3-0 Round 5 victory.
The books agree that this will be a tightly contested match as ESPN BET has Hanwha Live -275 to cover the -1.5 map spread. DraftKings has them at -265 to cover. We’re weighing their regular season success over T1 and take the underdog moneyline price for our pick.
Good luck on this and all of you plays today. We’ll be back with another Degens Only Play of the Day tomorrow.
