KT Rolster enters the LCK 2026 playoffs lower bracket round 2 matchup against Dplus KIA with strong momentum after sweeping DK 3-0 in upper bracket round 1 on August 30, highlighted by dominant teamfighting, objective control, and standout plays from top laner PerfecT and bot laner Jiwoo. KT advanced through a grueling 3-2 series against Hanjin Brion to reach playoffs and later fell 0-3 to Gen.G, but their recent synergy following roster adjustments has translated into consistent execution. Dplus KIA dropped to the lower bracket after the initial sweep yet stayed alive with a resilient 3-2 win over BNK FEARX on September 3, leveraging their experience in high-stakes series and occasional reverse-sweep capability shown earlier in the season. Both teams face a Bo5 Fearless Draft format where the winner secures a 2026 Worlds berth, with KT holding the edge in recent head-to-head results and form while DK must overcome historical deficits in key matchups.
