Kwangdong Freecs and Hanwha Life Esports will face off on Saturday, March 30, in the opening series of League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) 2024 Spring Playoffs. Hanwha Life Esports defeated Kwangdong Freecs in both head-to-head meetings during the regular season, and based on LoL esports betting sites’ offer, they’re expected to do it again.

Unlike Hanwha Life Esports, who nearly caught up to T1, Kwangdong Freecs barely made it into the playoffs, ending the regular season with a 7-11 record. But besides their poor record, there are other things to feel concerned about.

The Kwangdong Freecs have terrible early-game metrics and consistently end up with a significant gold deficit at the 20-minute mark. Moreover, they have not looked great in their recent outings and have always struggled when faced with stronger teams. Even with side choice, Kwangdong Freecs have shown very little.

It makes sense that Hanwha Life Esports picked Kwangdong Freecs for this match since they’re arguably the worst of the remaining five teams. Hanwha Life Esports field better players in all five positions, have significantly better early games, and are more efficient with their gold.

Hanwha Life Esports have their weaknesses as well. They tend to pray on their opponents making mistakes rather than being active on the map. So, as long as teams can avoid making huge errors, they can take a bite out of Hanwha Life Esports. The problem is that Kwangdong Freecs are a sloppy team prone to making mistakes.

There are enough reasons to justify Hanwha Life Esports’ price, and even at $2.02, they’re a solid pick to sweep the unconvincing Kwangdong Freecs.
