Prediction for the match between Liiv SANDBOX – DWG KIA
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the Korean LCK Championship 2022. An interesting confrontation between the Liiv SANDBOX and DWG KIA teams is ahead of us. These teams have already met in the group stages, where the victory was for DK. This time the outcome may be completely different, so let's start to take a closer look at the situation within each of the clubs.
Form Liiv SANDBOX
This season, the team is showing amazing results, and in the last meeting we clearly observed this. In the recent battle, Liiv SANDBOX played an incredible three cards against DRX, which helped them to level with their current opponent in terms of statistics. Although the bookmakers did not consider them favorites, LSB were able to secure a victory, thanks to which they placed in 4th place in the tournament line with a score of 9-5. Their indicators are completely identical to DWG KIA, so you should not blindly trust the coefficients, because this battle can carry a very unpredictable result.

Although the history of Liiv SANDBOX matches is rather unstable, it is still worth paying attention to the quality of their games, and not to the final result. The team shows great promise this season, so I strongly recommend not to miss their meetings.
DWG shape KIA
I would like to talk about DWG KIA, so to speak, separately. The team shows a good result, thanks to which it is placed in the top three teams. Now DK are in 3rd place in the tournament line with a score of 9-5. In general, they play quite stably, both last season and this season, they are in the same position. It seems like it's good, but to be honest, I want much more from a composition of this level. In general, DK has recently won several unexpected defeats, which casts doubt on their success.

As I already said above, the last DWG KIA matches are amazing, and not for the better. The team's performance dipped significantly at the end of the group stages, they are in danger of worsening their situation.
History of personal confrontations
Previously, the teams held 17 meetings with each other. In most of them, and to be more precise in 15 matches, the victory went to the DWG KIA team.
Exodus
The favorites are DWG KIA, but their current form makes you wonder. In recent weeks, their performance has dropped significantly, maybe they just relaxed, as they are well ahead of the rest of the competition. It is difficult to say what is happening to them now, but this calls into question their ability to maintain their current position. Liiv SANDBOX proved to be more successful this season, as no one expected such a breakthrough from them. Therefore, thoughts creep in that they are able to win the current meeting. Therefore, I recommend taking a risk, as we already know, LSB are capable of a lot and the victory in the current match is no exception.
Outcome: The Liiv SANDBOX team will become the winners of this confrontation.
