Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The group stage of the LCK Summer 2024 regular season continues with Week 9 matches. The final matches of the summer split are ahead.
One of those matches is BRION vs DPlus KIA. The game doesn't matter for BRION, but DPlus KIA will have to sweat a lot not to lose the "free" points.
Let's find out how the DPlus KIA vs BRION match will end and who will be the winner.
Let's go.
DPlus KIA uniforms
Let's open the DPlus KIA vs BRION match with an analysis of DPlus' form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.3.
In the season before last, Dplus were still DAMWON, but the essence of the matter does not change. 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, 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. 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.
In the first play-offs match, DPlus pulled off a mini-sensation. They defeated their more title contender KT Rolster in a very difficult bo5. Next was a match against Gen.G, which Dplus almost won, but still fell short on the fifth map and as a result lost 2-3. As a result, Dplus KIA finished in the top 4, which is pretty good.
DPlus KIA, as of week 7 of LCK Summer 2024 have a score of 9-5 and are ranked #3.

BRION Form
We continue our analysis of BRION vs DPlus KIA with an analysis of BRION's form. In this match they play as an outsider with win odds around 8.
BRION have been on the competitive scene of League of Legends for a long time, but they have not been able to collect results. Speaking specifically about LCK, they have been playing there since 2021.
In the 2021 season, the team had two back-to-back losses: at LCK Spring they were in the top 10, and at LCK Summer they were in the top 9. Then came 2022, but the performance didn't change at all: first top 6 at LCK Spring 2022, then top 9 at LCK Summer 2022.
Last season BRION strengthened a little bit, but they did. They finished top 8 at LCK Spring 2023 and top 8 at LCK Summer 2023.
- BRION roster: Morgan, GIDEON, Karis, Envyy, Effort.
The "veteran" of BRION is Karis. He has been playing in the team since last June.
LCK Spring 2024 Brion finished in their repertoire. The team finished 10th in the final standings with 3 wins and 15 losses.
BRION dropped out of the race for the LCK Summer 2024 play-offs early. As of week 7 of games, the team's score is 2-12.

Predicted result of DPlus KIA vs BRION at LCK Summer 2024
In this match I expect a logical victory for DPlus KIA. BRION surprised once by beating KT Rolster, but I think that's the end of their "fervour".
Bottom line: 2-0 win for DPlus KIA.
