KT Rolster Pulls Off Reverse Sweep vs Dplus KIA in LCK
In the LCK 2026 Road to MSI best-of-five, KT Rolster completed a dramatic reverse sweep against Dplus KIA after losing the first two games. The final result was 3-2 for KT, overturning what looked like a near-impossible series.
Dplus KIA opened strongly at LoL PARK in Jongno, taking Games 1 and 2 to lead the series 2-0. KT then mounted a turnaround, winning three straight to finish the reverse sweep.
Game 4 was the turning point. KT trailed by about 10,000 gold at one stage, then clawed back to force a deciding Game 5. In Game 5, KT again faced a large deficit—around 5,000 gold—but swung momentum with the steal of the Elder Dragon, one of the most powerful neutral objectives in League of Legends. Elder Dragon grants an execute-style buff that can decide fights.
KT followed the Elder Dragon steal with a decisive teamfight victory, effectively ending Dplus KIA’s tournament run.
The result mirrors a familiar theme for Dplus KIA: earlier in the year (around Feb. 22), Dplus KIA had completed their own reverse sweep against T1 in the LCK Cup. This time, they were on the losing side of a 0-2 comeback.
With the win, KT Rolster advanced to face Gen.G in the next round of the Road to MSI bracket.

This is esports-focused news (League of Legends LCK 2026), with no direct mention of any cryptocurrency, token, exchange, protocol, or blockchain-related regulation. Because the story does not impact crypto fundamentals (liquidity, adoption, macro policy, or market structure), it should not change trader positioning or market stability.
Historically, non-financial entertainment or sports results typically do not produce measurable crypto market effects. The only plausible short-term reaction would be speculative “sentiment spillover,” but there’s no such catalyst here—so the expected impact remains neutral for both short-term volatility and long-term trends.
