Hanwha Life Esports vs Dplus KIA LCK Spring 2024 Group Stage: Who is expected to win?
Prediction
Hanwha Life Esports has made a plethora of changes to their League of Legends roster before the new season. They now have a superstar team with the addition of top, jungle, and support players. HLE won three consecutive series in the initial stage against DRX, Freecs, and FearX.
However, when they faced one of the strongest squads in the world, T1, HLE had an underwhelming performance. T1 dominated the series and showed great prowess against HLE's top-notch players. HLE's team fighting was a mess, and the players didn't have good individual performances either.
As for Dplus KIA, they also started the LCK journey with high expectations for the new squad. The team now has a new top, jungle, and an ADC player. They won the first series pretty convincingly. However, Dplus lost three of their next four series.
Notably, Dplus' new ADC, Aiming, is having a poor tournament with underwhelming stats and early-game performances. Moreover, the team struggles quite a bit when fighting for late-game dragon or baron fights.
The matchup between HLE and Dplus will be pretty interesting to witness, as both teams are having a bittersweet split right now. As for the prediction, though, HLE is expected to win the series with a 2-1 scoreline.
