Preview of Dplus KIA vs DRX at League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split Group Stage

Prediction

Dplus KIA and DRX's journeys started dissimilarly in this competition, as the former (DK) won their first game in a convincing manner. However, the latter's first match was pretty underwhelming. Currently, Dplus KIA sits in second place on the table, and their opponents are in eighth.

They saw a tough matchup in the first game against Liiv SANDBOX. However, all their star players performed well in important moments, earning them a 2-0 victory. Their jungler Canyon and mid-laner ShowMaker dominated the series with some admirable performances.

Both of Dplus KIA games against Liiv SANDBOX were over in 29 minutes. In the former's second match, ShowMaker picked LCK's Aurelion Sol and helped his team earn 11-0-7. The early-to-mid-game laning phases, team fights, and objective controls were on point for Dplus in this series.

Despite seeing a good start to this tournament, this team has to maintain the same performance throughout it. Last time in the Spring Split, they failed to do so. Fans are expecting more from them this time, as the star power and caliber of their team are impressive.

DRX saw a pretty rough start to this Group Stage, losing 0-2 against Freecs. They fell behind in terms of creep score from the beginning and struggled in both matches in this series. Although they'd picked meta-champions from the 13.10 patch, Freecs completely outplayed them.

DRX's journey seemed to be on a downward trajectory after their win at the League of Legends World Championship 2022. Subsequently, four out of five of their main players left the team in November 2022. Following that, they finished in 9th place in the LCK Spring 2023 after mediocre performances throughout this season.

Hence, it's obvious that they would want to bounce back and qualify for the playoffs. DRX made only one roster change before this event that's worth taking into account: Park "Padeck" Seok-hyeon was added to take on the ADC role.

As far as the upcoming Dplus KIA vs DRX matchup's prediction goes, the former is expected to win the series decisively, 2-0.
