We continue to traverse the vastness of LCK Summer 2024 with a betting tir for the FearX - Hanwha Life Esports match.
Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The LCK Summer 2024 split is heating up. Although there aren't many matches left in the regular season, that's no reason to miss out on the remaining games.
One of the central matches on the 15th of August is the clash between Hanwha Life Esports and FearX. Both teams can be equated to "strong" middleweights.
Let's try to find out which team will be stronger in this, rather equal, match and earn extra points before the play-offs.
Let's go.

Let's open the HLE vs FearX match with an analysis of HLE's form. In this match they will play the first number one with odds to win around 1.7.
HLE, being a solid mid-table team, are getting to the late stages of the regular split. Moreover, this started to happen only in 2023. Before that, in the 2022 season, HLE were the worst team in the race, twice finishing in the top 10 in regular splits.
They managed to improve by 2023, after a major Reshuffle. Two reigning world champions joined the HLE roster, which strengthened the club considerably.
- HLE roster: Doran, Peanut, Zeka, Viper, Delight.
With the addition of Zeka and Kingen to the HLE lineup, it was clearly more vigorous. So much so that they made it to the top 4 of LCK Spring 2023. The latest addition to HLE is Grizzly, a jungler who got promoted from the academic roster.
It seems to be working out pretty well. HLE finished in the top 3 in the regular season, which with teams like Dplus, T1 and other top teams is pretty good.
In the first play-offs match HLE warmed up against DRX. Nominally reigning world champions couldn't do anything against their visions and HLE easily closed the match with the score 3-0.
Then the situation was not so rosy: HLE ran into Gen.G and fell 0-3. The favour went to the bottom set of play-offs, but it did not save them for long.
Hanwha Life Esports faced KT Rolster in the first match of the last chance grid. The pressure was too hard and HLE was washed away: 0-3 and a play-offs exit, and at the same time not a pass to the Worlds 2023.
They tried to make it to the Worlds in the regional finals, but again failed. LCK finished the final tournament of the season in the top 3, having failed to use either of the two attempts to qualify for the Worlds: they lost first to KT Rolster with a 1-3 score and then to Ledge or DPlus KIA with the same score.
Hanwha Life Esports finished the LCK Spring 2024 season in the top 3. The team once again fell one series short of advancing to the international LAN tournament.
Hanwha Life Esports started LCK Summer 2024 quite briskly and continue to play in the same spirit: as of 2 August, the team is in second place with a score of 10-3.

FearX Form
We continue our analysis of the FearX vs HLE match with an analysis of FearX's form. In this match they play as the number two with odds to win around 2.3.
FearX is a relatively new name in 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 took 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.
LCK Summer 2024 goes "average" and their stats are 6-7.
Most Chosen FearX Champions
The most popular character for the top line remains KSante (7 games, 42% wins). Gnar (6 games, 83% wins), Fiora (5 games, 60% wins) are also taken.
On foresters there is nothing fundamentally new: Sejuani (7 matches, 57% wins), Wukong (6 matches, 66% wins), Maokai (4 games, 100% wins).
In the centre, the favourite patch champion is Azir (7 matches, 85% wins). Beside him are Akali (4 games, 25% wins), Sylas (4 games, 75% wins).
The most favoured ADC is Varus (6 matches, 66% wins). Lucian (4 games, 100% wins) and Ashe with Caitlyn (3 games and 66% wins each) are also popular.
Among support players Heimerdinger (5 games, 60% wins), Karma (4 games, 50% wins), Ashe (3 games, 66% wins), Nami (3 games, 100% wins) stand out.
History of head-to-head meetings between FearX and Hanwha Life Esports
In 2024, the teams have already played three times and all matches were won by Hanwha Life Esports. At the same time, HLE have only given away 1 card.
Predicted result of HLE vs FearX at LCK Summer 2024
In my opinion, this is not going to be a passable match for HLE. Remembering how HLE played against KT Rolster with their Shivana, there are doubts about their seriousness. I'll trust the card from FearX.
Bottom line: +1.5 on FearX.
