The routine regular season of LCK Spring 2024 continues. During the group stage, the top 10 teams in South Korea are battling for the right to advance to the play-offs, where 6 teams will advance to the play-offs.
Among the contenders for the main stage of LCK Spring 2024 are place KT Rolster and Nongshim RedForce. And if the former have a much better chance, but NRF will have to sweat a lot to improve the bad position in the standings.
Let's try to figure out who will be stronger in this Bo3 confrontation and earn extra points in the run-up to the allocation of slots in the play-offs.
Let's go.
KT Rolster uniforms
Let's start the match analysis with an analysis of KT Rolster's form. One of the top 4 LCK teams is playing the number one with odds to win around 1.2.
In 2022, KT Rolster finished top 7 in LCK Spring 2022 and top 5 in LCK Summer 2022. The main "achievement" was getting to the TOP-4 Regional Finals, but it was of no use: they didn't make it to the Worlds 2022 anyway.
The new season was better. In the first LCK Spring 2023 KT Rolster climbed all the way to the top 3. They were only beaten by Gen.G, who knocked out Bdd and company with a score of 1-3.
- Gen.G lineup: PerfecT, Pyosik, Bdd, Deft, BeryL.
At LCK Summer 2023 KT Rolster clearly want to at least repeat the result of the spring. In the group stage, KT rolled over all of their opponents, closing it out with a score of 17-1.
In the first round of play-offs KT Rolster chose T1 as their opponent. Confident after a successful group stage, KT Rolster stumbled against T1 and lost the match with a score of 2-3.
In the first round of the lower grid KT Rolster met HLE, who fell there after an uninspiring loss to Gen.G. The match with KT ended with an identical scenario: 0-3 and here KT Rolster are.
Once in the bottom of the grid, Rolster first defeated Hanwha Life Esports (3-0) and then played T1 again. This time the win was even closer as KT Rolster led 2-0, but T1 was there to reverse sweep and turn the series 3-2 in their favour.
KT Rolster made it to the 2023 Worlds via the South Korean regional finals. KT Rolster played one series and that was against Hanwha Life Esports. Winning the match was no problem and Rolster joined T1 and Gen.G in the main event and home tournament of the year.
Rolster opened the World Championship itself with a match against BLG, which they lost. Two wins followed, first beating fellow regionals Dplus and then beating Weibo Gaming.
At 2-1, KT Rolster faced LNG Esports and lost 1-2. In the play-offs match, Rolster played their compatriots from DPlus and ran over them 2-0 without much trouble.
However, KT Rolster failed to advance beyond the first round of the play-offs. They ran into JD Gaming and lost with a score of 1-3, thus ending their performance at Worlds in the top 8.
The first half of the LCK Spring Split went pretty well for KT Rolster. They managed to win 4 series, but against LCK Spring 2024 outsiders, and lost against T1 and Freecs.

Form Nongshim RedForce
We continue our match review with the analysis of Nongshim RedForce's form. In this match the team plays in the status of outsider, with the odds of winning at around 3.4.
Nongshim Red Force is a team with no stars from heaven. It is a solid mid-table team in Korea, or rather one of the worst teams in the best region.
In the arena LCK Nongshim RedForce have been in the LCK Nongshim arena since 2021. It also became the best in the not yet long history of this particular tag: at that time Nongshim RedForce managed to take Top 6 at LCK Spring 2021 and Top 4 at LCK Summer 2021, and there was also Top 3 at Regional Finals, but it was not enough to pass to Worlds.
Things started to get worse in 2022. Nongshim RedForce finished top-8 at both LCK Spring 2022 and LCK Summer 2022.
In the 13 competition season, Nongshim RedForce can be called the worst team in the region. At LCK Spring 2023 the team took the last, 10th place, and at LCK Summer 2023 they were not far away - TOP-9.
- Nongshim RedForce roster: DnDn, Sylive, FIESTA, Jiwoo, Peter.
The only member of Nongshim RedForce from last season is Jiwoo. The remaining 4 players are newcomers to the team.
Nongshim RedForce will play against DRX in the first match. In that match I expect Nongshim RedForce to win. Next will be a game against Gen.G, where RedForce has no chance not only to win, but to take at least a map.
Nongshim RedForce are at the bottom of the standings. The team has 1 win in six matches and that was against DRX.
