BRION made two roster changes in November, adding a new jungler, Kim “GIDEON” Min-seong, and ADC Lee “Envyy” Myeong-joon. Although solid signings, GIDEON and Envyy won’t be enough to help BRION bounce back from a shaky season.
BRION finished the LCK 2023 summer split in eighth place with a 5-13 record, and while the Korean side made some improvements, it’s tough to believe they’ll be competitive against top contenders in the LCK.
Like many other Korean LoL teams, Dplus KIA replaced some key pieces this offseason and added a new top side with top laner Hwang “Kingen” Seong-hoon and jungler Choi “Lucid” Yong-hyeok, as well as a new ADC in Kim “Aiming” Ha-ram. This team seems very hit-or-miss, as a lot of their success will come down to how good Lucid is.
It’s tough to say how Dplus KIA’s new line-up will work out. They’re individually much better than BRION, but games tend to be a bit more open early into the season, so we’re trusting the underdogs to take one map.

KT ROLSTER vs FEARX LoL BETTING & MATCH DETAILS |
|
|---|---|
| Best Odds: | KT -714.29 at BetOnline | FEARX +400 at BetOnline |

KT Rolster enters the 2024 LCK season with four new players, including top laner Lee “PerfecT” Seug-min, jungler Hong “Pyosik” Chang-hyeon, ADC Kim “Deft” Hyuk-kyu, and support Cho “BeryL” Geon-hee. This is not a terrible lineup, but it’s tough to imagine KT Rolster competing for top spots in the LCK.
That’s not because KT lacks talent but because other top contenders from the LCK are that much better, potentially including FearX.
Unlike KT Rolster, FearX doesn’t have as many proven players; however, this team has growth potential. Jungler Kim “Willer” Jeong-hyeon and mid laner Lee “Clozer” Ju-hyeon are incredibly talented and can easily develop into elite players in their positions.
Even though FearX can fall apart, their ceiling is significantly higher, and that alone is a good enough reason to side with them at the offered odds with esports betting sites.
