KT Rolster really lived up to their name in LoL Champions Korea 2024 Spring. Their run through the season was a complete rollercoaster, ending in the first round of the playoffs with a 2-3 defeat against Dplus KIA.
Results aside, KT Rolster showed a lot of good things but were also extremely volatile. That worked in their favour, as KT displayed a very high ceiling — they just didn’t hit their highs at the right time.
Kwangdong Freecs were also anything but consistent last split, but not in a bad way. There were runs where they looked like they were the real deal, but Kwangdong struggled in some areas — especially with accumulating leads in the early game.
On a more positive note, Kwangdong Freecs are very efficient in closing out games, so they have the potential to compete if they can iron out their early game. But that is a big ‘if’, and even then, the Freecs might not have enough raw talent to hang with the top contenders.
There’s a reason esports betting sites have KT Rolster priced as such big favourites. They should be good enough to sweep this one.

DRX ended LCK 2024 Spring with just three wins from 18 series played. They produced a few good games, but the constant player-swapping didn’t help DRX find the needed stability to accomplish anything noteworthy.
For the summer split, DRX decided to keep their roster intact and made just one change by adding coach Oh “Raise” Ji-hwan at the end of May. Not adding players might seem like an odd move, but DRX have enough talent to perform better.
OKSavingsBank BRION managed just three wins last split and also decided to keep the lineup relatively untouched, adding just Ko “YoungJae” Yeong-jae as a new jungler. It is, however, highly likely that BRION will look to call up academy players throughout the season.
Similarly to DRX, BRION have enough talent to do well, but they don’t have a player that would lead the team to be more proactive. Perhaps YoungJae could be the one to take over that role, but we have to see it first.
Both teams are flawed, but DRX have at least made the necessary changes to address their weaknesses. OKSavingsBank BRION might’ve found their solution in YoungJae, but he doesn’t seem the type, so we’ll remain sceptical.
