Hanwha Life Esports vs Dplus in League of Legends LCK 2026 Round 2: Can Dplus break HLE’s win streak?

Prediction

As mentioned before, Hanwha Life Esports is currently on a 10-game win streak in the LCK, and its only loss came to T1 in early April. The star-studded team has finally found its groove after a difficult start to the season. That said, it suffered a 1-2 loss in another tournament, the EWC Korea qualifier, to Dplus. While it was an online match, some HLE players underperformed, and the draftings were not up to par.

HLE’s most pivotal point this season has been its jungler, Kanavi. It seems like he took the aggressive playstyle of LPL and implemented it in the LCK, and outclassed every other jungler in the league. However, the whole team has also been showing an excellent synergy around him, and the current meta is working for them as well.

The mid laner of HLE, Zeka, is having one of the best regular seasons of his career. His laning phase, timely rotations, and team fight participations have been stellar so far. With Zeka facing Dplus’s ShowMaker on the stage, it will certainly be an entertaining watch for the fans.

Dplus, on the other hand, currently has a record of seven wins and six losses. It won its last series against DNS, but before that, it lost three matches in a row to Gen.G, KT Rolster, and T1. This shows Dplus has had a tough time against the top LCK teams lately, and many expect the team to struggle again against HLE, who are now the top team in the region.

That said, Dplus recently defeated HLE on the EWC qualifier with a 2-1 scoreline. While it was an online event, the former had a superior draft strategy, and players like Siwoo and Lucid greatly outperformed their HLE counterparts. Now, doing the same when playing in a crowded arena can seem difficult at times, with higher pressure.

All in all, every Dplus member must show up big time and perform their best to get the better of HLE. However, given HLE’s recent performances, synergy, and momentum in the LCK, the squad is expected to defeat Dplus straightforwardly.

Prediction: HLE 2 – 0 Dplus

Head-to-head record

These two organizations faced each other a total of 17 times in the past, with Hanwha Life Esports securing 8 wins and Dplus getting victories on 9 occasions.
