January 22, 2025, 10:00 EET. As part of the opening of the group stage of the LCK Cup 2025, a match between Dplus KIA and BNK FEARX will take place in a best-of-3 format. We analyzed the current rosters and prepared a prediction for the match result.

Current Team Form

Dplus KIA

Dplus KIA recently wrapped up the transfer period with roster updates, losing key players and adding new ones, including top laner Siwoo and support BeryL. New players like Lucid, ShowMaker, and Aiming are already showing consistent results, while the team demonstrated solid performances in the LCK Cup, defeating T1 2:1, but secured a victory over DN Freecs in the group stage of the LCK Cup 2025 with a score of 2:0. Despite Dplus KIA still having issues with adaptation and team chemistry, they continue to be one of the strongest teams in the region.

BNK FEARX

BNK FEARX underwent significant roster changes at the end of 2024, losing several key players and adding new ones such as VicLa and Kellin. Despite inconsistent results at the start of the tournament, where the team faced defeats from Gen.G and KT Rolster, BNK FEARX still managed to showcase good moments at Fearless Foxes Festa, defeating 100 Thieves. However, at the LCK Cup, the team encountered difficulties, and their current form does not warrant expectations of a victory in such a tough match.

Match Prediction

Dplus KIA, despite recent roster changes, are in a more stable form compared to BNK FEARX, whose changes have yet to yield the expected effect at a high-level tournament. Dplus have more experienced players and have proven their ability to defeat top opponents, making them the favorites in the upcoming match.

PREDICTION: Dplus KIA to win 2:1

The LCK Cup 2025 is held in a group stage and playoff format with 10 teams divided into two groups. Each group consists of 5 teams based on the results of the 2024 tournaments. A spot for the First Stand 2025 is at stake. All information about the tournament can be found at this link.
