kt Rolster demonstrated an impressive performance by securing back-to-back 3-0 victories in the LCK MSI representative selection, solidifying their position in Round 4. Building on their successful regular season, the team began their postseason journey with a tiebreaker win over Dplus Kia before sweeping Nongshim RedForce on June 8. Now, they are poised to face T1 at Busan’s Sajik Gymnasium on June 14.
The team wrapped up Rounds 1 and 2 of the regular season with a respectable 10–8 record and a +2 map differential. Their path to the Legend Group began on June 4 in a crucial fifth-place decider against Dplus Kia. After initially losing, kt Rolster rallied to claim the tiebreaker victory. This momentum carried forward into their upcoming match against Dplus Kia on June 7 in the MSI selection’s Round 1, where mid-laner Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong led the team to a convincing sweep, combining forces with jungler Mun “Cuzz” U-chan and support Jeong “Peter” Yoon-su.
Continuing their stellar form, kt Rolster followed up with another dominant performance on June 8 against Nongshim RedForce. Bdd’s strategic use of Weaver’s Wall in Game 1 set the tone for a decisive victory, leading to a staggering 27–6 kill count. In Game 2, the duo of Seo “deokdam” Dae-gil and Peter flawlessly executed a Senna–Tahm Kench pairing, surrendering only two kills and showcasing their teamwork. Game 3 saw Peter’s Rakan amplify the team’s effectiveness, allowing Dae-gil’s Xayah to excel, ending with a remarkable 34–11 scoreline.
With victories over the league’s sixth- and fourth-place teams, kt Rolster now gears up for a significant matchup against third-place T1 on June 14. The winner of this clash will move on to compete for Korea’s second seed in the Mid-Season Invitational in Vancouver. The selection event runs from June 13 to 15, featuring best-of-five matches under a Fearless Draft format, starting with regular-season leaders Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports.
This positive momentum and ability to perform under pressure could bode well for kt Rolster as they continue in the tournament, emphasizing their potential for success in the prestigious international arena.
