Match Prediction: SANDBOX Gaming - DRX | LoL
LCK Summer 2022Prediction for the match between Liiv SANDBOX – DRX
We continue to review the events taking place on the summer stage of the Korean LCK Championship 2022. Finally, after nine weeks of group games, we waited for the playoff stage. For those who are not aware of the format, I will briefly describe what to expect.
The bo-5 format is expected and the first meetings are held in the quarter-finals, where the teams will fight for the right to reach the semi-finals. In the next round, they are expected by the participants who took the first two places in the group. Liiv SANDBOX and DRX teams will be opening the new stage of the tournament. As for me, the favorite in this meeting is already clear, perhaps we will begin the review of our participants with it.
Form Liiv SANDBOX
Once again, I want to remind you that this line-up has not previously been famous for serious achievements and this season is the birth of new stars. The team finished the group stages in 3rd place in the standings with a score of 13-5, an incredibly good result for Liiv SANDBOX. In the upcoming meeting, they look much stronger than their DRX opponents. I think you already knew this if you followed the events of the group stage. The teams have an incredible gap in the group results and this already says a lot.

Yes, above we see the results of Liiv SANDBOX and they are incredible. The team has an excellent performance in recent meetings, just look at who was victorious.
Form DRX
As for the DRX roster, the team has not shown any innovations this season. The participants finished the group stage in 6th place in the tournament line, with a score of 9-9. It is fully consistent with the results of the LCK Spring 2022, so it is worth wondering about the lack of progress. I don't think they have any chance against LSB. Based on what we observed in the last stage of the tournament, it is hard to believe in their victory. Just look at the results of their last meetings, it's something terrible. Moreover, I want to note that during the summer season, the teams have already met twice and DRX did not win a single victory.
DRX line-up

DRX Latest Match Results
- Lost to Hanwa Life eSports 1-2;
- Lost to KT Rolster with a score of 0-2;
- 2-0 victory over Kwangdong Freecs;
- 2-1 victory over Nongshim RedForce;
- Lost to Liiv SANDBOX with a score of 1-2.
As we can see above, the team was able to get to the next stage only thanks to victories over the weakest representatives of the region. It is quite difficult for them to compete with someone more ready, because there is little faith in the success of DRX.
History of personal confrontations
The teams have played 18 games in the past. Both teams got an equal number of victories, or rather 9 each of them.
Exodus
I don't think you should expect anything phenomenal in this game, its outcome is quite predictable and this is the victory of Liiv SANDBOX. The team shows an incredible growth in performance, despite the fact that it does not have any legendary players in its roster. DRX is doing incredibly badly, maybe this is a cunning plan and they were saving their strength for the playoffs, but this is hard to believe. So, I do not advise you to make your choice in their favor when such remarkable LSBs are sitting on the stage.
Outcome: The Liiv SANDBOX team will become the winners of this confrontation.
