Get LCK playoff betting tips for BNK FEARX vs Dplus KIA, including odds, form notes and our best League of Legends pick.
BNK FEARX and Dplus KIA will cross swords on Thursday, September 3, in the lower bracket of League of Legends Champions Korea 2026 Season Playoffs in a rematch from the KeSPA Cup, when BNK FEARX won 1-0.
Both squads kicked off the playoffs with defeats. Dplus KIA got swept by KT Rolster, while BNK FEARX lost a very competitive five-map series against T1.
DK’s game against KT Rolster was very winnable, as all three maps went the distance, with both teams opting for solid scaling.
Ultimately, however, the games were decided by Dplus KIA’s mid-late game errors, which have been an issue with this team for a while now.
This is a worrying thing, as even though Dplus KIA have the players to keep up with anyone, they tend to shoot themselves in the foot more often than not.
That stings even more, knowing DK were in very winnable positions on at least two of the three maps against KT and arguably should have won in both scenarios.
It was the second recent game in which Dplus KIA looked off, having previously produced a shaky performance against HAJIN BRION.
That said, this is still a very stacked roster and a team who are known to pop off at any moment. Choking, however, is a problem.
BNK FEARX nearly defeated T1 in their opening match of the playoffs.
But it is worth noting that T1 entered the knockout stage cold, having lost four out of five games in the final stretch of the regular season.
While BNK FEARX did their job of punishing T1’s sloppiness, the end result really came down to T1 making mistakes more than BFX showing anything exceptional.
BNK FEARX were not great during the regular season, and their performances in the Play-In against Nongshim RedForce and HAJIN BRION were not all that memorable either.
Besides the near upset against T1, BNK FEARX have not had a very successful split, so it is fair to question whether they have the tools to deal with Dplus KIA.
Qualitatively, DK are a much stronger team and rightly priced as favourites on the top-rated LoL bookmakers.
The only concern with this team is their tendency to choke and lose winnable positions, so Dplus KIA to sweep becomes less likely.
We are getting -136.99 for Dplus KIA to win with at least two maps to spare, which is an inviting offer.
Dplus KIA -1.5 maps
