KT vs DK – a pivotal series for seeding
While the LEC and LPL are already in their final stages, the LCK is wrapping up its regular split in week 9. With Kwangdong Freecs eliminated from playoffs contention after a loss to DRX, the battle for seeding intensifies. KT and T1 are vying for fourth and fifth place, with KT delivering a surprising victory over Gen.G last week. However, KT’s unpredictable nature makes their matchup against DK uncertain.
Match breakdown
KT’s win against Gen.G was attributed to their adaptability in drafting, targeting Gen.G’s key comfort picks. As teams gear up for Bo5s, draft flexibility will be crucial. DK, currently locked into third place, may experiment with riskier drafts as they set their sights on playoffs. Improving Lucid’s jungle champion pool could give DK a strategic edge.
The focus will likely be on the mid and bottom lanes, where both teams rely on their carry players. KT may have an advantage in the bottom lane if Aiming is not on his comfort pick, while Showmaker is expected to shine over Bdd in the mid lane.
Overall, KT has the edge in this series, with a win propelling them towards securing fourth place. As for DK, the outcome is less crucial as they focus on maintaining form for postseason play. Understanding each team’s performance in this matchup will be key for assessing their chances against other top teams.
