Week 1 of the League of Legends LCK Spring 2024 Group Stage will feature Dplus KIA vs. BRION on January 18, 2024. It's the first matchup for both teams in this Split, and fans are very excited. This is mainly because Dplus now have three new players who are anticipated to perform at their best.
Although the Spring Split Group Stage will go on for nine weeks, every win matters, as only the top six teams will advance to the Playoff Stage. The top two teams will ultimately secure their spot in the Mid-Season Invitational 2024.
Ahead of the Dplus KIA vs. BRION matchup in the LCK Spring 2024 Group Stage, let's jump into their recent statistics and results.
Dplus KIA, formerly DAMWON Gaming, had a tough couple of LCKs in the last two years. Specifically, their performances were quite underwhelming in 2023. The team finished in fifth place in both the Spring and Summer Splits.
Despite qualifying for Worlds 2023, Dplus couldn't go past the Swiss Stage after losing against G2 Esports and KT Rolster. After that, the renowned jungler, Canyon, along with Canna and Deft, left the team. Subsequently, Kingen, Lucid, and Aiming joined the team for the 2024 season.
This will be the first time in six years that ShowMaker will play without Canyon. It'll be interesting to see how the new prospect from the Dplus Challengers, Lucid, will perform in this new lineup. Notably, Lucid has gained immense popularity among South Korean fans because of his performances in the LCK Challengers League.
Meanwhile, BRION also faced difficulties in the previous year's LCKs. They finished both Splits in eighth place and couldn't qualify for the playoffs. Although they had some of the brightest talents from Korea, it wasn't enough to compete against the best.
