Meeting statistics

The current form of Hanwha Life Esports

Hanwha Life Esports is the favorite in this game among all bookies on the Internet that have eSports in their offers. It’s a strong mid-table squad that’s always near the very end of regular splits. However, it wasn’t until 2023 that this began to occur. HLE was the poorest team in the race before then, during the 2022 season.

They underwent a significant restructuring and were able to improve by 2023. The Hanwha Life Esports roster gained two current world champions, Kim “Zeka” Geon-woo and Hwang “Kingen” Seong-hoon, which significantly bolstered the squad, so much so that they made it to the top 4 of LCK Spring 2023. Because of the intense pressure, HLE were unable to get a ticket to the 2023 Worlds. They once again failed in their attempt to qualify for the Worlds in the regional finals. In the LCK Spring 2024 season, Hanwha Life Esports were among the top three. They missed out on qualifying for the international LAN event by one series once more. HLE are 9-2 at this LCK Summer and they occupy second place in the standings.

The current form of Dplus KIA

Dplus was DAMWON two seasons ago. They advanced to the Worlds 2022 after winning the LCK Regional Finals 2022; however, their journey ended there with a playoff loss in an exciting encounter against Gen.G.

Dplus assembled a new squad after their rebranding. An attempt was made to form a super-team; however, such attempts have rarely been fruitful in the LCK. At Dplus’s first competition following the rebranding, reigning world champion Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu didn’t do much to help the team. They placed in the top 5 at LCK Spring 2023. Dplus lost in the first round of the LCK Summer 2023 playoffs, ending their run early in the competition. They qualified for the Worlds 2023 by placing second in the regional championships of South Korea; however, they were unable to advance to the play-offs.

Dplus KIA had a respectable performance at LCK Spring 2024 (the top 4), following a somewhat disappointing Worlds 2024. With seven wins and three losses at the LCK Summer 2024, they should be pleased with their performance. Such a record is enough for third place in the charts.

Head-to-head

HLE and Dplus KIA played each other twice in the 2024 season, and the former prevailed on both occasions.

Match analytics

Our suggestion for this match is the win of Hanwha Life Esports. They performed admirably in the playoffs last season, defeating T1, and we don’t think anything will drastically change during the summer break (and it didn’t).

In summary, HLE prevail without losing a single map. This market is named Correct score (in maps) 2:0 at the Anonym Bet Casino and valued at 2.6.
