Hanwha didn't change the roster. This is a common thing in the Korean league; however, a couple of positions looked necessary to be strengthened. Nevertheless, according to Korean journalists, the team performed well in training matches, where they won even playoff-level teams in long series. It is difficult to say whether they will keep this form in official meetings, but such information is encouraging for the fans of this team.
NS showed nothing outstanding last season either. There is an obvious decline in the level of play of Canna and Dread, on whom the result largely depended earlier. At the start of the current season, we also see two defeats in a row, so the team can unlikely fight for the playoffs.
We disagree with the assessment of the strength of these teams by the bookmakers. They do not have a big difference in the level of skills, so Hanwha may well claim victory.
Our prediction: Hanwha to take at least 1 map. We recommend the “1 Hand (+1.5)” bet, odds 1.67
