Welcome to EGamersWorld.
The group stage of LCK Summer 2024 is heating up. We continue to review the Long Group Stage matches of the South Korean Summer Split, which has huge implications in terms of earning spots at Worlds 2024 through LCK points.
We are talking about the DRX vs Brion match, which will take place on the 13th of June. And this match can hardly be called the centrepiece.
However, it doesn't take away the importance for the teams. Let's find out who of the pair DRX - Brion will be stronger in this match and start their way through LCK Summer 2024 with a victory.
Let's go.
DRX Form
We open the DRX vs Brion match with an analysis of DRX's form. In this match they will play as favourites with odds to win at around 1.9.
The team had a mediocre 12th season in the South Korean LCK. From the achievements: 5th place at LCK Spring 2022 and 6th at LCK Summer 2022. By any means necessary, the team made it to Worlds by finishing 2nd place at LCK Regional Finals.
Such a poor performance during the competitive year led DRX to Play-In Worlds 2022. DRX travelled the longest road to the finals of all time. They started the World Championship from the Play-In stage.
After making it to Group B at the Play-In, the team had to go through clubs like Royal Never Give Up, MAD Lions and others.
Although DRX performed in the status of a contender for passage, it was difficult to single out the collective as the sole winner. However, that's exactly what happened: DRX took the first stage of the Worlds without a hitch, coming out of their group in first place (5-0).
In the group stage, DRX shared the lead with Rogue. What followed was a true Cinderella story.
In the quarterfinals, the team outplayed the reigning World Champions, and outplayed them. The team did a Reverse Sweep, which is rare at this level of competition. Next, The International was even more interesting: victory over LCK Summer 2023 Gen.G champions LCK Summer 2023 followed by an incredible win in the grand final against T1.
After an unimaginable triumph at Worlds 2022, DRX's fame quickly faded. First the team failed at LCK Spring 2023, finishing Top 9, then Top 6 at LCK Summer 2023 and Top 4 at the Regional Finals, ultimately failing to attend Worlds 2023.
- DRX lineup: Rascal, Sponge, SeTab, Teddy, Pleata.
The main bet for the new season is Teddy. Let's see if the big name Korean can help DRX regain its former glory.
DRX is in an even worse situation than their counterparts. DRX are on the penultimate place in the table with a score of 1-8 and almost zero prospects to qualify for the play-offs. And so it happened: the club gained 3-15 and LCK Spring 2024 finished in the top 9.

In the top most often played on Aatrox (4 games, 75% wins), Camille (3 matches, 66% wins), Ornn (2 matches, 100% wins), Fiora (2 matches, 50% wins).

BRION Form
We continue our analysis of the BRION vs DRX match with an analysis of Brion's form. In this match they are an outsider with odds to win at around 2.1.
BRION have been on the competitive scene of League of Legends for a long time, but they have not managed to collect results. Speaking specifically about LCK, they have been playing there since 2021.
In the 2021 season, the team had two back-to-back losses: at LCK Spring they were in the top 10 and at LCK Summer they were in the top 9. Then came 2022, but the performance didn't change at all: first top 6 at LCK Spring 2022, then top 9 at LCK Summer 2022.
Last season BRION strengthened a little bit, but they did. They finished top 8 at LCK Spring 2023 and top 8 at LCK Summer 2023.
- BRION roster: Morgan, GIDEON, Karis, Envyy, Effort.
The "veteran" of BRION is Karis. He has been playing in the team since last June.
LCK Spring 2024 Brion finished in their repertoire. The team finished 10th in the final standings with 3 wins and 15 losses.
BRION's most popular champions
The top line is inhabited by KSante (4 matches, 75% wins), Jax (2 matches, 0% wins), Quinn (2 matches, 50% wins).

History of head-to-head meetings between DRX and Brion
The teams played each other twice at the spring LCK. BRION won once and DRX won once.
Predicted result of Brion vs DRX at LCK Summer 2024
The clubs are definitely worthy of each other and I am sure that they will show roughly equal play, so I bet a total of +2.5. However, I would not be surprised to see either side win.
Bottom line: total +2.5.
