Прогноз на матч: DAMWON Gaming - Freecs | LoL
LCK Spring 2022 - Group StageI welcome everyone! Breaking into with analytics on the second day of the fourth week of the main League of Legends event in Korea - the LCK Spring 2022 spring split.
The first match of the day will be a meeting between the former world champions and the last champions of Korea - DAMWON Gaming or DWG KIA with Kwangdong Freecs.
This season, DWG's game has not gone as smoothly as we would like. The team is quite strong, but still they have already three times flown away from teams of equal playing level.
At the same time, KDF lost to everyone except the top 2 teams from the bottom of the leaderboard (after KDF themselves), SANDBOX Gaming.
The match in absentia will be held "in one goal", because DWG needs to rehabilitate itself after the defeat of T1 and score as many points as possible so as not to fall even lower in the standings.
DAMWON Gaming Uniform
I liked the reshuffle situation in the ex-world champion team at the beginning of the season much more than in all other teams. However, as you can see, the composition did not play well.
Frequently changing players is a normal practice in esports. Especially after DWG failed to take the victory at Worlds 2021 and gave it to the Chinese.
Thus, jungler Canyon and mid- laner ShowMaker remained from the championship DWG. New top laners from T1 Academy and Gen.G became new. And, also, a couple already played on the bot lane from NS Redforce.
If you remember the practice of T1, as soon as they refreshed their main roster, it also took them about a year to reveal their full potential and play. I think that DWG is now in a similar situation. All players are good in terms of personal performance, but team play is lacking in places.
Therefore, we see the following picture: DAMWON Gaming easily beat teams that are an order of magnitude weaker, and they experience difficulties from games with stronger teams.
DAMWON Gaming roster:
- Burdol is the top lane.
- Canyon - forest.
- ShowMaker - mid lane.
- deokdam - bot lane.
- Kelly - support.
Kwangdong Freecs uniform
Before the start of the season, the KFG roster looked extremely intimidating. After all, before the start of the new year, the organization radically changed its main composition and did not spare any money for top players.
So they bought three former T1 players: Ellim, Teddy and Hoit. A good mid laner FATE from SANDBOX Gaming and left Kiin as a top laner.
From such a roster, prior to the start of this split, I expected a lot more results than what we are seeing now. The high personal level of the game from each of the participants turned out to be too little. Such a force still needs to be properly coordinated and directed.
And, it would seem, Kwangdong Freecs, as an organization, also did an excellent job with this, signing the star coach of Team Liquid. But returning Jang " Cain " Nu-ri from North America back to his homeland in Korea could have been a key mistake. For more than five years, the Korean coach has been and lived professionally in the American scene, which is somehow different from Korea.
Composition of Kwangdong Freecs:
- Kiin is the top lane.
- Ellim - forest.
- FATE - mid lane.
- Teddy - bot lane.
- Hoit - support.
Meeting history
Before this match, the teams played each other 13 times. Of these 13 meetings, DAMWON Gaming came out victorious 10 times, and Kwangdong Freecs 3 times.
Moreover, it is not surprising that over the past couple of years, DWG has dominated the confrontation with KFG.
Match result
Judging by the games of Kwangdong Freecs in the past weeks of LCK Spring 2022, I want to immediately give victory to DAMWON Gaming.
But to say that the DWG itself somehow pleases me with the game and shows the height as before is also impossible. I have a feeling that due to the instability of the updated roster, they have a small chance of losing.
I believe in the experience of the DAMWON team, and therefore do not want to think that they will underestimate their opponent. I would bet on them to win.
