Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We're continuing our journey through the LCK Summer 2024 Regular Season. We're talking about the new, third day of games after a short break.
We'll be watching KT Rolster vs FearX. Both teams are in desperate need of points to get into the play-offs and this match is a great time to earn those points.
Let's try to see who from the pair KT Rolster - FearX will be stronger and take an important win here, and who will be left with nothing.
Let's go.
FearX Form
Let's open our analysis of FearX vs KT Rolster with an analysis of FearX's form. In this match, they play the number one with odds to win at around 1.3.
FearX is a relatively new name in the LCK. The team shone on the competitive scene back in 2018, but got to LCK 2024 by merging Liiv Sandbox and SANDBOX Gaming, which is what we'll be basing our analysis of FearX on.
Having been on the competitive scene since 2018, they started playing on LCK in 2019. First it was Top 5 at LCK Spring 2019, followed by Top 4 at LCK Summer 2019 and Top 3 at Regional Finals 2019, which wasn't enough to attend Worlds 2019.
What followed was a string of failed performances and playing at TIR tournaments. Things started to turn around in 2021 when FearX, while still Liiv Sandbox placed Top 4 at Regional Finals.
It wasn't going badly in 2022 when SANDBOX were one step away from Worlds. First they finished top 3 at LCK Summer 2022 and then top 3 at Regional Finals, Ledgeiv DRX at 2-3, failing to make it to Worlds. By the way, DRX won Worlds that year, so there you go.
2023, on the other hand, was a flop, after a pretty good showing the previous season. LCK Spring 2023 was top 6, and LCK Summer 2023 was top 7.
- FearX lineup: Clear, Willer, Clozer, Hena, Execute.
FearX changed their roster significantly during the November 2023 transfer window. Clear, Clozer, Hena and Execute joined the team, while jungler Willer remained the only player from the previous roster.
At LCK Spring 2024, FearX finished in the top 7, failing to reach the championship play-offs.
Before their match against KT Rolster, they are 2-4.
