This is the matchup the LCK has been built around all split — and it delivers every single time.
Both teams come in at identical 83% form, both on strong winning streaks with just one recent loss each. T1 dropped to HLE on May 1st, DK fell on May 2nd. Everything else? Wins. This is as even as it gets on paper — but the details favor T1.
Right now, T1’s greatest weapon is their botlane. Gumayusi has been on fire, and Keria is doing what Keria does best — pulling out unconventional picks like Camille support and completely warping how the enemy team has to draft and play. That kind of unpredictability is incredibly hard to prepare for. If T1 can funnel resources bot side and let that lane take over, DK will struggle to respond.

Faker has also looked sharper lately — more assertive, more impactful beyond just surviving his lane. And Doran continues to be the quiet engine of this team, playing his role with remarkable consistency week after week.
The head-to-head adds an interesting wrinkle though — DK has actually beaten T1 twice in 2026, including a 2-1 on April 17th. This team is not afraid of T1, and they know how to beat them. Expect a proper fight.
Pick: T1 2-1 — The botlane advantage is real, and with playoffs approaching, T1’s best is starting to show up at the right time.
