Dplus Kia, who won against Gen.G for the first time in about five years since 2021, will meet KT Rolster and T1 one by one in the third week of the 2026 LCK.
Dplus Kia’s first opponent in week 3 of the 2026 LCK is KT Rolster, the league’s No. 1 player, who recorded 4 consecutive wins since the opening game in about 9 years. If D Plus, which is in the middle of the rankings with 2 wins and 2 losses, catches KT, it will immediately close the gap with first place.
The top laner is mentioned as the core strength of both teams. KT’s ‘Perfect’ Seung-min Lee and D-Plus’ Si-woo ‘Siwoo’ Si-woo frequently create scenes where they take the lead with aggressive picks. What kind of structure the two top laners will show can be said to be the key point to watch in this match.
Following KT, D Plus will also face T1. The two teams are competing tightly with a 1-1 record in 2026. After losing 0-3 to T1 in the 2026 LCK Cup Super Week, D Plus achieved a reverse sweep in the playoffs and earned a ticket to Hong Kong. If D Plus catches KT and T1 following Gen.G, they can enter the top rankings even faster.
Mid laner ‘Showmaker’ Heo Su’s great record is also worth noting. Heo Su currently has 697 matches in LCK total set, with only 3 games remaining until he appears in 700 matches. If all scheduled matches are played this week, Heo Soo will become the fourth mid laner to join the 700 match club, following Sang-hyeok “Faker” Lee, Bo-seong “BDD” Kwak, and Ji-hoon “Chovy” Jeong.
