Dplus KIA vs HAJIN BRION Betting Tips – Can In-Form BRION Cook Up an Upset?

Dplus KIA goes into their LCK clash with HAJIN BRION as favorites, boasting better experience and a higher skill ceiling. However, Dplus KIA has shown volatility, dropping four of their last five games, whereas BRION has hit strong form, winning five out of their last six after an easier fixture run. The key recommendation is to consider BRION on a +1.5 map handicap, anticipating a competitive match rather than a blowout, with Dplus KIA likely to win but BRION capable of taking at least one map.

Dplus KIA Are Strong & Volatile


Dplus KIA do not appear to be in the best shape, having lost four of the last five games. In their defence, those defeats came against Gen.G, KT Rolster, T1, and Hanwha Life Esports – who defeated DK last week.

The latter was a weird game and a frustrating one for Dplus KIA. They were in better game states for most of the series and had better compositions, and yet failed to win. That mainly came down to some questionable decisions.

The thing with this team is that they look very good at times and bad the next. Some of their matches this season have been real headscratchers, but there were also many excellent performances mixed in between.

Great team, with very high ceiling. They just need to find more stability and show their good side more often.

Dplus KIA Squad & Team News


No changes for Dplus KIA.

  • Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo – top lane
  • Choi "Lucid" Yong-hyeok – jungle
  • Heo "ShowMaker" Su – mid lane
  • Sin "Smash" Guem-jae – ADC
  • Oh "Career" Hyung-suk – support

HAJIN BRION Are Improving


BRION’s run over the last few week is something else. Up until their loss to Kiwoom DRX on Sunday, BRION were on a perfect 8-0 run with four straight series win, beating KT Rolster, BNK FEARX, Nongshim RedForce, and DN SOOPers.

Over that stretch, they’ve shown much better early game and the ability to use early leads to make something happen. All that was largely thanks to Gideon, who is doing a lot of work from the jungle, finding openings to get his lanes ahead.

Their recent loss was a tough one. BRION took the series lead, got stomped on map two, and while HAJIN BRION were in a good spot to win the third map, they failed to close it out and got punished for it. It was a sloppy game from BRION, but it does not change the fact that they’ve been playing better lately.

HAJIN BRION Squad & Team News


HAJIN BRION have not announced any roster changes.

  • Shin "Casting" Min-jae – top lane
  • Kim "GIDEON" Min-seong – jungle
  • Lee "Loki" Sang-min – mid lane
  • Park "Teddy" Jin-seong– ADC
  • Namgung "Namgung" Seong-hoon – support

Verdict

Dplus KIA have shown much higher highs this season and should be considered favourites to win. On the other side, BRION has been improving and appears to be in much better shape than Dplus KIA, granted, BRION also had a much softer schedule over the last couple of weeks.

Form aside, Dplus KIA are the better team, but the main question is how much better? They have the players and the experience to contest the LCK title, but are also volatile enough to believe they can lose to anyone.

With side choice, Dplus KIA should be set to come out ahead, but they’re shaky enough to believe BRION can steal a map.
