On January 25 at 08:00 EET, a match between Hanwha Life Esports and Dplus will take place as part of the group stage of the LCK Cup 2025 tournament. The teams will face off in a bo3 format on LAN. We analyzed the current form of the teams and their rosters to make a prediction for this showdown.

Current Team Form

Hanwha Life

HLE is showing quite confident results in the tournament. After a 0:2 loss to Gen.G Esports on January 17, the team regrouped and proved stronger in the next two matches: on January 19, they confidently defeated KT Rolster 2:0, and on January 23, they crushed Nongshim RedForce 2:0. Leadership in the team is shown by experienced players like Viper in the bottom lane and Zeka in the center, while Peanut provides stability in the jungle. The Hanwha Life roster appears balanced and ready for further challenges.

Dplus

Dplus confidently passed the first stage of the tournament, achieving three consecutive victories. On January 16, they narrowly defeated T1 2:1, then on January 18, they easily handled Freecs 2:0, and on January 22, they won a tense match against FEARX 2:1. The leading roles in the team are played by ShowMaker in the center and Aiming in the bottom lane, while newcomers Siwoo and BeryL, despite recently joining, are already showing their best sides.

Match Prediction

Both teams come into the match in good form. Hanwha Life demonstrated confidence in the last two games, but Dplus appears to be more stable throughout the tournament. Their synergy between players works better, which might be a key factor in this confrontation.

PREDICTION: Dplus win 2:1
