Dplus KIA Secures CKTG 2026 Spot After Defeating KT Rolster 3-1 in LCK Playoffs

Dplus KIA has officially qualified for the top 4 after defeating KT Rolster 3-1 in the match held on Friday. This result not only helped DK secure a spot at CKTG 2026 but also relegated KT Rolster to the Demacia Cup Global Invitational. Notably, a few days ago, Dplus KIA had suffered a 0-3 defeat to KT Rolster. The poor performance then made fans worry, especially since DK was the team that just won Esports World Cup and was in high form in the middle of the LCK season. To add to that, DK nearly fell into danger when BNK FEARX led 2-0 in the previous match. However, the team quickly regained form, completed the reverse sweep, and continued to defeat KT Rolster to secure a spot in the top 4 of LCK. The bottom lane duo became the cornerstone of DK. After the reverse sweep against BNK FEARX, Dplus KIA entered the match against KT Rolster with the determination to avenge. However, the first game turned out to be worrying for DK fans when KT quickly controlled the game and won easily. Nevertheless, DK responded immediately in game 2. The two teams created a tense and close match lasting 42 minutes. Then, the careful preparation and reasonable ban/pick helped Dplus KIA gain the advantage. DK continuously limited KT's favorite picks, leaving the opponent with few opportunities to shine. One of the most prominent names on DK's side was ADC Sin "Smash" Geum-jae. The MVP of the Esports World Cup final continued to deliver an impressive performance, continuously creating advantages for the home team in the games Dplus KIA won. Alongside Smash, Oh "Career" Hyung-suk also had a notable return. After struggling in the first game, Career quickly regained confidence and coordinated effectively with his teammate in the bottom lane. DK returns to the CKTG stage. With the victory over KT Rolster, Dplus KIA officially returns to the biggest stage of LMHT after missing CKTG 2026. Notably, Smash, Career, and Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo will be making their first appearance at a CKTG. However, before thinking about lifting the world championship trophy, DK still has a long road ahead. The team will have to win three more games to win the LCK. The next challenge for ShowMaker and his teammates will be T1 in the match on Sunday. After the impressive return, Dplus KIA is showing that they are still one of the formidable contenders in the LCK this year.
