Meeting statistics

Current form and & fighting style: SOOPers

SOOPers enters as the clear underdog.

Their recent LCK results show inconsistency and difficulty against stronger teams, including losses to Gen.G, BRION, FearX, Hanwha Life, and T1. Their style tends to look better when they can slow the early game, avoid messy skirmishes, and play through controlled setups around neutral objectives, but against higher-tempo teams, they’ve struggled to keep lanes stable long enough to reach comfortable teamfight states.

Current form and & fighting style: Dplus Kia

Dplus KIA also have had mixed form, but they still carry more individual quality and a higher competitive ceiling.

Their recent results include strong wins over BRION and FearX, but also losses to Gen.G and KT Rolster. DK generally prefer sharper early pressure, cleaner mid-game rotations, and punishing opponents through lane advantages before objective fights fully form. Against SOOPers, their best route is to speed up the map, attack side-lane weaknesses, and force SOOPers into reactive play.

Head-to-head

Historically, Dplus KIA have dominated this matchup against the organization currently competing under the SOOPers identity (previously connected to the Freecs/Kwangdong Freecs lineage in the LCK).

• Dplus KIA wins: 24
• SOOPers / Freecs-side wins: 8

Match analytics

Dplus KIA should be favored because of the recent 2–0 H2H win, stronger individual lanes, and better ability to control the pace of a best-of-three.
