On February 8, 2025, at 10:30 EET, a match will take place between Hanwha Life Esports and DRX as part of the Play-in semifinals of the LCK Cup 2025. The match will be held in a bo3 format, and we have prepared a prediction for the outcome of this meeting.

Current Team Form

Hanwha Life Esports

HLE is showing confident play in the tournament, having won three of their last four matches. They defeated KT Rolster, Nongshim RedForce, and DRX, but they lost to Dplus. Key players like Viper and Zeka are showing stable performances, while Zeus is confidently holding the top lane.

DRX

DRX reached the semifinals after a series of tough matches. They managed to defeat BRION, Freecs, and FEARX, but lost to T1 and Hanwha Life. The recent 0:2 loss to HLE may negatively affect the team's morale, especially considering the dominance of the opponent in that game.

Match Prediction

Hanwha Life has already defeated DRX in this tournament, and their current form suggests a repeat success. An important factor will be the individual performances of Viper and Zeka, who are capable of turning the tide of the game. DRX will need to find unconventional strategies to put up a fight.

PREDICTION: victory for Hanwha Life Esports with a score of 2:0
