T1 vs Dplus KIA betting tips – LCK Cup 2026 Playoffs

T1 vs DPLUS KIA

T1 and Dplus KIA are set to clash on Sunday, February 22, in the third round of the lower bracket in League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) Cup 2026. It marks their second meeting of the season and the first since January 31.

Dplus KIA faced the reigning LoL world champions in the third week of group play and lost in three maps. Heo “ShowMaker” Su and his crew are not expected to find much success on Sunday.

The top LoL betting sites are giving Dplus KIA mere 30.8% implied probability of success. They have been playing better than what this figure might suggest, granted not consistently.

Dplus KIA started their playoffs campaign with a 3-2 victory against DRX, but they could not make it past Gen.G who defeated them 3-1 in the upper bracket round 2. Dplus bounced back with a 3-1 win over DN SOOPers.

In the clash against Gen.G, Dplus KIA performed well. While they got stomped on maps one and three, Dplus won the second map thanks to an incredible performance from ADC Sin “Smash” Guem-jae, and they managed to keep up with Gen.G on the fourth until the very end.

On the other hand, the recent victory against DN SOOPers was a complete fiesta, highlighting just how volatile and unpredictable Dplus KIA can be.

T1 have been more stable this season. They topped Group Baron with a 5-0 record but had to admit defeat to BNK FEARX in the upper bracket finals, when T1 struggled to contain the bottom lane.

As it seems, T1’s weakness is their bottom lane, giving Dplus KIA a clear win condition for Sunday. However, given Dplus KIA’s volatility and their tendency to botch the mid-late game scenarios, it makes more sense to take the side of the smarter team.

T1 have also had a week to prepare for this game, which gives them an additional advantage for what should be a straightforward game for them.
