Welcome to EGamersWorld.
We continue to watch the LCK Spring 2024 regular season matches. We're talking about the second week of confrontations in the world's most titled professional LoL league.
Closing out the second game day of the LCK Spring 2024 regular season will be Nongshim Red Force with a match against DPlus KIA. Another match with unequal weight classes.
We are trying to figure out who will be stronger in this match and will be able to seriously improve their performance in the standings.
Let's go.
Form DPlus KIA
Let's open the match with an analysis of DPlus KIA's form. In this match, the top Korean club will play as favourites, having a much better chance to win. And this is not surprising at all, given the team's status as a top-8 team at Worlds 2023.
In the season before last, Dplus were still DAMWON, but that doesn't change the point. Back then, Korea's top team finished top-3 at LCK Spring 2022 and top-4 at LCK Summer 2022.
Thanks to a win at LCK Regional Finals 2022, the team went to Worls 2022. The World Championships ended with a play-offs loss in a colourful match against Gen.G with a score of 2-3.
After rebranding, Dplus put together a new roster. There was an attempt to make some sort of "super" team, but that story doesn't work too well in LCK.
- Dplus roster: Kingen, Lucid, ShowMaker, Aiming, Kellin.
Reigning world champion Deft didn't help Dplus much at the first tournament after the rebranding. At LCK Spring 2023, Dplus finished in the top 5, which is not good.
At LCK Summer 2023, Dplus made it to the play-offs in 4th place, 11-7. That's better than T1.
However, LCK Summer 2023 Dplus KIA did not stay in the play-offs for long. In the first round of LCK Summer 2023 Playoffs Dplus Ledge and T1 with the score 1-3, leaving the main stage of the prestigious championship early.
The team made it to Worlds 2023 thanks to a second place finish at the South Korean regional finals. To do so, they first outplayed DRX (3-0) and then HLE (3-1).
Dplus opened up Worlds 2023 with a match against G2 Esports. The titular Koreans were weaker than the best team in Europe and went into the set 0-1.
There, Dplus played their fellow countrymen from KT Rolster. And again Worlds 2022 champion Deft and their distinguished colleagues lost: now Dplus had 0-2.
After falling into the relegation zone, Dplus finally got their act together and showed their game. They knocked BDS out of the tournament and now continue the arduous march to the play-offs. Later they outplayed GAM Esports and came out on top 2-2, but in the final match Ledge and KT Rolster, thus losing their chance at the play-offs.
In the first match of LCK Spring 2024 DPlus should have no problem beating BRION. Next up will be a match against KT Rolster, where I see the latter winning despite DPlus having a nominal advantage.
Most Popular T1 Champions
For the top line the team picks KSante (4 matches, 50% wins), Renekton (3 games, 33% wins), Gnar (3 matches, 66% wins).
In the forest all the same, more or less standard: VI (7 games, 57% wins), Maokai (3 games, 66% wins), Poppy and Sejuani 2 matches and 0 wins each.
On the centre line with no deviations. There are Azir (4 matches, 50% wins), Ryze (4 games, 50% wins), Syndra (2 games, 50% wins), Cassiopeia (2 matches, 50% wins).
The championship among shooters is held by Lucian. Champion appeared 5 times, but won only 2 matches. Tried to Zeri, but failed: 0-3 in three appearances.
Among the supporting champions, Nami was a success. She was picked up 5 times, and her winrate was 40%. Yummi (3 games, 0% wins) and Ashe (3 games, 66% wins) were also picked.
Nongshim RedForce uniforms
Let's move on to the analysis of Nongshim RedForce's game form. In this match, the team will have to play as the second number. In principle, as usual.
Nongshim Red Force is a team that does not grab stars from heaven. It is a solid "average" in Korea, but rather even one of the worst teams in the best region.
In the arena LCK Nongshim RedForce have been in the LCK Nongshim arena since 2021. It also became the best in the not yet long history of this particular tag: at that time Nongshim RedForce managed to take Top 6 at LCK Spring 2021 and Top 4 at LCK Summer 2021, and there was also Top 3 at Regional Finals, but it was not enough to pass to Worlds.
Things started to get worse in 2022. Nongshim RedForce finished top-8 at both LCK Spring 2022 and LCK Summer 2022.
In the 13 competition season, Nongshim RedForce can be called the worst team in the region. At LCK Spring 2023 the team took the last, 10th place, and at LCK Summer 2023 they were not far away - TOP-9.
- Nongshim RedForce roster: DnDn, Sylive, FIESTA, Jiwoo, Peter.
The only member of Nongshim RedForce from last season is Jiwoo. The remaining 4 players are newcomers to the team.
Nongshim RedForce will play against DRX in the first match. In that match I expect Nongshim RedForce to win. Next will be a game against Gen.G, where RedForce has no chance not only to win, but to take at least a map.
The most popular champions of Nongshim RedForce
The most popular champion on the top line is Gnar (10 games, 90% wins). Jayce appeared 8 times and had a winrate of 87%. Kenen was played 4 times and won all matches, KSante 4 times and 3 wins, Renekton 4 times and 2 wins.
In the forest were Vi (11 matches, 72% wins), Sejuani (10 games, 80% wins), Wukong (7 matches, 85% wins), Le Sin (6 games, 83% wins).

Predicted result of the match Nongshim RedForce - DPlus at LCK Spring 2024
I am not expecting any revelations in this match. This is the match where DPlus will gain their points.
Bottom line: victory DPlus.
