Meeting statistics

Current form and & playstyle: BNK FEARX

FEARX enters this series as a team that has impressed with roster resilience and adaptability throughout the LCK Cup. After progressing through their playoff matches and even pulling off a notable upset against T1 earlier in the bracket — a sign of strong macro play, decisive objective control, and strategic adaptability — FEARX have shown they can weather early pressure and pivot through draft phases.

Their playstyle leans toward disciplined scaling and mid-game decision-making, often focusing on safe early waves and letting their engagement tools open windows in mid- to late-game fights. While they’ve dropped series against top teams like Gen.G, their ability to grind out wins through objective pacing and teamfight clarity has been a hallmark of their Cup run.

Current form & playstyle: Dplus Kia

Dplus, on the other side, have long been one of the more established LCK powerhouses with experience in deep playoff runs and international appearances. Their form in this Cup has been strong — notably earning a series win over DRX in the playoffs — and has been characterized by proactive jungle pathing, early pressure in the side lanes, and confident drafting that prioritizes scaling carries with reliable engage setups.

They tend to force tempo through coordinated vision control and a playstyle that can snowball leads into objective pressure, but they sometimes show vulnerability to well-timed counterinitiations, especially if opponents secure early objectives.

Head-to-head

The two teams haven’t met previously in an ongoing LCK Cup action. Across all past official matches between the two teams, Dplus have dominated the rivalry, winning the large majority of games.

According to available historical data, out of 15 total matches played between them, Dplus have prevailed in 12 matches (80 %), whereas FEARX have won three matches (20 %). The total map score across all meetings stands at 30–14 in favor of Dplus, indicating more series wins and more individual game wins in multi-game formats.

Match analytics

In a meta-defined best-of-five, Dplus’s stronger macro pacing and disciplined early tempo edges them slightly as favorites. However, FEARX’s demonstrated ability to adapt and swing draft advantages can make this a competitive series that stretches beyond a clean 3-0 sweep.

Tip: Correct score – 1-3 (Dplus to win 3-1) at 4.36 odds on 1win.

Note: On this particular online bookmaker, Dplus is a “visitor”, which differs from the official match listings where FEARX is the “visitor”; hence, the 1-3 correct score bet instead of 3-1.
