The first series of the day will see seventh-placed BRION taking on ninth-placed DRX, with the former needing a win to keep in contact with the jam-packed top six on the LCK table.
BRION come into this matchup with DRX off the back of losing five of their last six series, with their only victory being over fellow strugglers Kwangdong Freecs two series back. However, in three of those six series, BRION have managed to go the distance and play all three maps against Hanwha Life Esports (twice) and Freecs. The one thing that keeps hindering BRION is their consistency in between maps and in between series, with their relatively young roster struggling to play at the high level that is needed in a top league. BRION will go in as favourites this Sunday, but they will still need to play at their best to get past the second-bottom team.
After recording their only win of the LCK Spring split in week two, DRX have since gone on to lose their last six series (at the time of writing). As we have spoken about all split, this DRX roster is nowhere near as talented as the one that claimed the 2022 LoL World Championship, with four new players being signed in the offseason. DRX are starting to fall off as we hit the middle part of the LCK Spring split, with their last three losses coming in 0-2 fashion against T1, KT Rolster and Hanwha Life Esports. With their rapid decline in form, DRX will struggle to record another win before the end of the split.
BRION and DRX went the distance in their last meeting, so we will taking the overs again in the total maps market.

The second of the two series to be played on Sunday will feature eighth-placed Kwangdong Freecs taking on one of the hottest teams in the LCK, Hanwha Life Esports.
Kwangdong Freecs are the best of the bottom three teams, owning 2-8 record with wins against KT Rolster and Nongshim RedForce in weeks three and four before going on their current two-game losing streak. Outside of those two winning weeks, the Freecs have struggled in the majority of their series, and we predict that they will struggle again this weekend.
One of the hottest teams in the LCK is the now fifth-placed Hanhwa Life Esports, who have won five of their last six series – including a massive win over T1, which is still the only defeat the league leaders have suffered so far this split. The last time these two teams met was in the first week of the season, where HLE were very impressive recording a 2-0 victory. With a win 2-0 win against the Freecs in this series, HLE would jump into fourth spot on the table behind T1, Gen.G Esports and Dplus KIA.
With the Freecs going through a tough run of form of late, we expect to see them struggle against Hanwha Life Esports; therefore, we will be taking the favourites at the match line.
