Прогноз на матч: KT Rolster - Dplus KIA | LoL
LCK Spring 2024 - PlayoffsWelcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to follow the happenings at the LCK Spring 2024 Playoffs. It's hard to overstate the importance of the tournament. At stake is not only or not so much the title of champion of the world's most prestigious league, but also two tickets to the first international tournament in 2024 - Mid-Season Invitational 2024.
At the LCK Spring 2024 Playoffs, we are now talking about the first round of the main stage. While the first match HLE - Freecs is obvious, the match KT Rolster - Dplus KIA is not so obvious anymore.
We are trying to figure out who of the pair KT Rolster - DPlus KIA will be stronger and will go to the next round, where the Double-Elimination format will start. Also, there they will have to play against Gen.G or T1.
Let's go.

For 2022, KT Rolster have finished top 7 at LCK Spring 2022 and top 5 at LCK Summer 2022. The main "achievement" was getting to the TOP-4 Regional Finals, but it was of no use: they didn't make it to the Worlds 2022 anyway.

KT Rolster made it to the 2023 Worlds via the South Korean regional finals. KT Rolster played one series and that was against Hanwha Life Esports. Winning the match was no problem and Rolster joined T1 and Gen.G in the main event and home tournament of the year.

Form DPlus KIA
We continue the match with an analysis of DPlus KIA's match form. In this match, they will play the number two side, with odds to win around 2.1.
In the season before last, Dplus were still DAMWON, but it does not change the essence of the matter. Back then, Korea's top team finished top-3 at LCK Spring 2022 and top-4 at LCK Summer 2022.
Thanks to a win at LCK Regional Finals 2022, the team went to Worls 2022. The World Championships ended with a play-offs loss in a colourful match against Gen.G with a score of 2-3.
After rebranding, Dplus put together a new roster. There was an attempt to make some sort of "super" team, but that story doesn't work too well in LCK.
- Dplus roster: Kingen, Lucid, ShowMaker, Aiming, Kellin.
Reigning world champion Deft didn't help Dplus much at the first tournament after the rebranding. At LCK Spring 2023, Dplus finished in the top 5, which is not good.
At LCK Summer 2023, Dplus made it to the play-offs in 4th place, 11-7. That's better than T1.
However, LCK Summer 2023 Dplus KIA did not stay in the play-offs for long. In the first round of LCK Summer 2023 Playoffs Dplus Ledge and T1 with the score 1-3, early leaving the main stage of the prestigious championship.
The team made it to Worlds 2023 thanks to a second place finish at the South Korean regional finals. To do so, they first outplayed DRX (3-0) and then HLE (3-1).
Dplus opened up Worlds 2023 with a match against G2 Esports. The titular Koreans were weaker than the best team in Europe and went into the set 0-1.
There, Dplus played their fellow countrymen from KT Rolster. And again Worlds 2022 champion Deft and their distinguished colleagues lost: now Dplus had 0-2.
After falling into the relegation zone, Dplus finally got their act together and showed their game. They knocked BDS out of the tournament and now continue the arduous march to the play-offs. They later outplayed GAM Esports and came out on top 2-2, but in the final match Ledge or KT Rolster, thus forfeiting their chance at the play-offs.
After a slightly dismal Worlds 2024, DPlus KIA took the top 5, closing out the LCK Spring 2024 regular season with a score of 9-9.
Most Popular T1 Champions
For the top line, the team picks KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Renekton (3 games, 33% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins).
In the forest all the same, more or less standard: VI (7 games, 57% wins), Maokai (3 games, 66% wins), Poppy and Sejuani 2 matches and 0 wins each.
On the centre line with no deviations. There are Azir (4 matches, 50% wins), Ryze (4 games, 50% wins), Syndra (2 games, 50% wins), Cassiopeia (2 matches, 50% wins).
The championship among shooters is held by Lucian. Champion appeared 5 times, but won only 2 matches. Tried to Zeri, but failed: 0-3 in three appearances.

Predicted result of DPlus vs KT Rolster at LCK Spring 2024 Playoffs
I am expecting a beautiful League of Legends in this match. Yes, KT Rolster classically beat DPlus, however in the last face-to-face game, it was DPlus who were stronger. I still don't expect an outsider to win, however an even series can be expected. Nevertheless, I bet on KT Rolster to win, especially if the odds allow it.
Bottom line: KT Rolster wins.
