Dplus KIA Advances to CKTG 2026 After 3-1 Victory Over KT Rolster in LCK Playoffs

Dplus KIA has officially qualified for CKTG 2026 after defeating KT Rolster 3-1 in the LCK playoffs. The road to CKTG 2026 for Dplus KIA was not easy. After the initial matches in the LCK playoffs, ShowMaker's team officially entered the top 4 after beating KT Rolster 3-1 on Friday. This result not only helped DK secure a spot at CKTG but also relegated KT Rolster to the Demacia Cup Global Invitational. Notably, just a few days ago, Dplus KIA suffered a 0-3 defeat to KT Rolster. That weak performance caused concern among fans, especially since DK was the team that had just won Esports World Cup and was in high form in the mid-season LCK. Furthermore, DK nearly faced danger when BNK FEARX led 2-0 in the previous match. However, the team quickly regained form, completed the comeback, and continued to defeat KT Rolster to secure a top 4 spot in LCK. The bottom lane duo became the foundation of DK. After the reverse sweep against BNK FEARX, Dplus KIA entered the match against KT Rolster with revenge in mind. However, the first game made fans worry as KT quickly controlled the game and won relatively easily. However, DK immediately responded in game 2. The two teams created a tense stalemate lasting up to 42 minutes. After that, careful preparation and reasonable ban/pick helped Dplus KIA gain the upper hand. DK continuously limited KT's familiar options, leaving the opponent with few opportunities to unleash their strength. 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 by continuously creating advantages for the home team in the games DK won. In addition to Smash, Oh 'Career' Hyung-suk also had a notable comeback. After struggling in the first game, Career quickly regained confidence and coordinated effectively with his teammate on the bottom lane. DK returns to the CKTG stage. With the victory over KT Rolster, Dplus KIA officially returned to the biggest stage of LMHT after missing CKTG 2026. Notably, Smash, Career, and Jeon 'Siwoo' Si-woo will be making their debut at a CKTG event for the first time. However, before thinking about lifting the world championship trophy, DK still has a long road ahead. The team must win three more matches to claim the LCK title. 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 strong contenders in LCK this season.
