Welcome to EGamersWorld.
LCK Spring 2024 is heating up after a short pause. The race for 2 slots at the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 and the title of champion of one of the most prestigious leagues.
Among the contenders for the title are HLE and BRION. And while we can believe in the success of the former after their successful Reshuffle, BRION has very little chance to place high at the end of LCK Spring 2024.
Nevertheless, we will see which team will be stronger in the next B3 match of the LCK Spring 2024 group stage.
HLE Form
Let's open the match analysis with the analysis of HLE form. In this match, the team is playing first and the odds for their victory are at 1.02!
HLE, being a solid mid-table team, can reach the late stages of the regular split. And it only started to happen 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. The final LCK tournament of the season finished in the top 3, having failed to use either of their two attempts to qualify for the Worlds: they lost first to KT Rolster 1-3 and then to Ledge or DPlus KIA with the same score.
Since the break, HLE are in 3rd place in the group table, breathing down the neck of T1. The team is 5-1.
Champions Hanwha Life Esports
HLE utilise a wide pool of characters on the top line. The most popular are Gnar (12 matches, 75% wins), KSante (5 matches, 40% wins), Ornn (4 matches, 75% wins), and Sion (4 matches, 50% wins).
Sejuani (9 matches, 11% wins), Vi (7 matches, 85% wins), Elise (4 games, 75% wins) appear most often in the forest.

BRION uniforms
We continue the match analysis with the analysis of BRION's form. In this match the team is playing as the number two with the odds of winning at around 10.
BRION have been on the competitive scene of League of Legends for a long time, but they have not been able to collect results. Speaking specifically about LCK, they have been playing there since 2021.
In the 2021 season, the team had two back-to-back losses: at LCK Spring they were in the top 10, and at LCK Summer they were in the top 9. Then came 2022, but the performance didn't change at all: first top 6 at LCK Spring 2022, then top 9 at LCK Summer 2022.
Last season BRION strengthened a little bit, but they did. They finished top 8 at LCK Spring 2023 and top 8 at LCK Summer 2023.
- BRION roster: Morgan, GIDEON, Karis, Envyy, Effort.
The "veteran" of BRION is Karis. He has been with the team since last June.
BRION looked very poor in the first half of LCK Spring 2024. The team's stats are 0-6, with only 1 map to win.
BRION's most popular champions
KSante (4 matches, 75% wins), Jax (2 matches, 0% wins), Quinn (2 matches, 50% wins) inhabit the top line.
Foresters include Sejuani (5 matches, 60% wins), Maokai (3 matches, 0% wins), Poppy (3 games, 33% winrate).
On the centre line Azir (3 matches, 33% win rate), Annie (2 matches, 50% win rate), Ahri (2 matches, 0% win rate), Orianna (2 matches, 100% win rate).
The most popular shooters are Aphelios (4 matches, 50% wins), Ashe (3 matches, 33% wins), Jinx (2 matches, 0% wins), Xayah (2 matches, 100% wins).
Supporting champions include Rell (4 matches, 50% wins), Rakan (2 matches, 100% wins), Nautilus (2 matches, 50% wins).
BRION - HLE Head-to-head history
For HLE and BRION this will be the 5th game in two second season. All previous matches have been won by HLE, although 3 of them ended 3-1.
Predicted result of HLE vs BRION at LCK Spring 2024
I don't see how BRION can compete with HLE. The latter are a few goals stronger and can compete with T1, Gen.G and KT Rolster, not to mention the worst LCK Spring 2024 team, which is BRION.
Bottom line: an easy 2-0 in favour of HLE.
