KT Rollster Straight to LCK Playoff, BNK Confirmed to Advance to the Play-In





With only one week left until the end of the regular league of LCK (League of Legends Champions Korea), KT Rollster has made it to the playoffs, and BNK Pierx has confirmed its advance to the play-in, respectively.

First of all, KT went straight to the playoffs by winning 2-0 against Legend Group T1 on the 24th, regardless of the results of the remaining two regular league games. KT has been losing consecutive games against T1 since the first round of this season, but it will be able to play with confidence in the playoffs by turning the tables in the last five rounds. On the other hand, T1, which is aiming for second place in the Legend Group, lost an important game and fell back to third place after Hanwha Life e-Sports lost the set.




With Gen.G confirming the top spot in the regular league early on, the second place is expected to be decided in the last regular league showdown between Hanwha Life Insurance and T1 on the 27th. In the previous 3rd and 4th rounds, T1 has been strong against Hanwha Life with two wins.

As KT confirmed the fourth place in the legendary group, Nongshim Red Force, which was confirmed to be fifth, will seek to advance to the playoffs in the play-in. Nongshim is in a very sluggish situation with all 10 losses in the 3rd to 5th rounds, which began by dividing into the Legend Group and the Rise Group (lower 5 teams). With the atmosphere completely sagging while only winning two sets while giving up 20 sets in the fight against the strong teams, there are also growing concerns about the match against the Rise group teams they will meet in the play-in.

In the Rise Group, D-Plus Kia confirmed its lead early, while BNK won 2-1 against OK Savings Bank Brion on the 21st, confirming at least third place to play in the play-in.




As a result, one team to play in has narrowed down to a two-way race between OK Savings Bank and DRX. As of the 25th, there was only one game between the two teams, and the results of the last week are drawing attention. If OK Savings Bank fails to win the match against D+ on the 28th and DRX wins the match against BNK on the 29th, the two teams will play a guillotine match for the third place in the Rise group and the remaining play-in ticket in the final showdown on the 31st.
