Прогноз на матч: Gen.G - Dplus KIA | LoL
LCK Spring 2024 - Group StageWelcome to EGamersWorld.
The fierce battles of the LCK Spring 2024 regular season continue. Here is a look at the second week of fights.
The opening day of the game week will be Gen.G vs DPlus. The match is worth watching, as two participants of Worlds 2023 and one of the strongest teams on the world stage are playing. At least, that was the case last season.
Let's see which team will be able to increase their advantage in the group table, and who will get an additional defeat in the second week of games.
Let's go.
Gen.G Form
We open the match review with an analysis of Gen.G's form. Here they play as clear favourites and have a much better chance to win than their counterparts.
In the 2022 season Gen.G finished top 2 at LCK Spring 2022 and won at LCK Summer 2022, and then went to Worlds 2022, where they lost dramatically in the match for the grand final. However, this didn't do much to shake their position at the 2023 season's Long Segment.
In 2023, Gen.G won LCK Spring 2023, leaving no chance for T1 in the grand finals. A little less luck at MSI 2023, where Bilibili Gaming sensationally kept the Korean champions out of the finals.
- Gen.G line-up: Kiin, Canyon, Chovy, Peyz, Lehends.
At LCK Summer 2023, Gen.G made it to the play-offs without any problems. During the group stage, the titular Koreans gave up only 2 series, eventually finishing in 2nd place in the group stage table with a score of 16-2.
In their first play-offs match for themselves, Gen.G crushed HLE. HLE 3-0 and now Gen.G are ready to advance to the league finals for the second consecutive time.
The Grand Final is a rematch of the playoffs. Last round Gen.G beat T1 3-2 in a very tough series and I think the final will be the same.
And in the grand finals, they did it too. And it was even easier than in the match to get here: Gen.G became the LCK Summer Split champion by beating T1 3-1.
Worlds 2023 Gen.G started off with a solid win over Gam Esports. It was fast and painful for Gam with 22 minutes and only 5 kills for the Vietnamese.
In a 2-0 basket match, Gen.G played against their counterparts, and by extension, bitter rivals T1. The South Korean derby, like the last 4, ended in favour of Gen.G, as Chovy and his Akali left T1 with nothing to lose.
Gen.G advanced to the Worlds 2023 play-offs with a score of 3-0. In their final group stage match, they played against G2 Esports and, expectedly easily, ran over the Europeans 2-0.
Being one of the favourites for Worlds 2023, Gen.G couldn't handle the burden of responsibility and lost in the first round of play-offs, Ledgeiv BLG.
In the first match at LCK Spring 2024, Gen.G will be tested against T1. I'm sure the reigning LCK champions will be proud to pass it, as Gen.G are historically good at home against the Worlds 2023 champions. After that, Gen.G will play Nongshim RedForce, where they should outplay their opponents with unenviable ease. A similar situation awaits us in the Gen.G vs BRION match.
The most popular Gen.G champions
The most popular champion on the top line is Gnar (10 games, 90% wins). Jayce has appeared 8 times and the winrate is 87%. Kenen was played 4 times and won all matches, KSante 4 times and 3 wins, Renekton 4 times and 2 wins.
In the forest were Vi (11 matches, 72% wins), Sejuani (10 games, 80% wins), Wukong (7 matches, 85% wins), Le Sin (6 games, 83% wins).
On the centre line it was Azir (13 games, 69% wins), Gragas (6 matches, 100% wins), Kassadin (5 games, 100% wins), Viktor (4 matches, 75% wins).
The most popular ADC is Lucian (12 matches, 83% wins). Next are Varus (8 games, 87% wins), Caitlyn (5 games, 100% wins), Zeri (4 matches, 75% wins).
Nami (13 matches, 84% winrate). Ashe and Lux have 4 games and 4 wins each.
DPlus KIA Form
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of DPlus KIA form. In this match the team will play as outsiders, which is not surprising.
In the season before last Dplus were still DAMWON, but the essence of the matter does not change. Back then, the top Korean 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 a 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, leaving the main stage of the prestigious championship early.
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. Later they outplayed GAM Esports and came out on top 2-2, but in the final match Ledge and KT Rolster, thus losing their chance at the play-offs.
In the first match of LCK Spring 2024 DPlus should have no problem beating BRION. Next will be a match against KT Rolster, where I see the latter winning despite DPlus having a nominal advantage. Next up will be a match against Nongshim RedForce, where DPlus must win if they want to qualify for the top spots in LCK Spring 2024.
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.
Among the supporting champions, Nami was a success. She was picked up 5 times, and her winrate was 40%. Yummi (3 games, 0% wins) and Ashe (3 games, 66% wins) were also picked.
History of head-to-head meetings DPlus - Gen.G
The teams have played each other 4 times in 2023. All matches were won by Gen.G then.
Predicted result of Gen.G vs DPlus at LCK Spring 2024
There is no The International rigmarole in this match for me. Gen.G is a team of a completely different level and will have no problem finishing the match in their favour.
Bottom line: Gen.G wins.
