Summary

Prediction: Dplus KIA 2–1 KT Rolster

Recent H2H: Dplus KIA won 2–1 on August 9

Competition: LCK Rounds 3–4

Group: Legend Group

Confidence: Medium

KT were good enough to win Game 1 in the previous series, but Dplus adapted and completed a reverse sweep.

That ability to change the matchup between games is the main reason Dplus remain the pick for the immediate rematch.

What Happened in the August 9 Match?

KT dominated Game 1.

Cuzz and Bdd used Pantheon and Ryze to create global pressure, while PerfecT’s Olaf became a major side-lane and team-fight threat. KT built a significant gold advantage and closed the opening map decisively.

Dplus then changed the series.

ShowMaker became increasingly influential in Game 2, while Dplus secured two Barons and Infernal Soul. In Game 3, their bottom lane established early priority and created a substantial ADC gold advantage.

The result was a 2–1 Dplus KIA reverse sweep.

KT vs Dplus KIA Quick Pick

Why Dplus KIA Remain the Pick

The previous match demonstrated two important advantages.

First, Dplus were able to recover psychologically after being dominated in Game 1.

Second, they found a repeatable win condition through bottom-lane priority and ShowMaker’s scaling damage.

Inven’s match report specifically highlighted Dplus’ bot-lane advantage in the deciding map.

That creates a difficult rematch problem for KT: they need to reproduce their successful Game 1 strategy while also preparing for the adjustments Dplus made afterward.

How KT Rolster Can Win

KT’s Game 1 was not lucky.

PerfecT, Cuzz and Bdd created genuine map control. Cuzz finished that first game 4/0/7 on Pantheon, while Bdd posted 2/0/11 on Ryze.

That provides a clear blueprint:

1. Draft strong side-lane access.
2. Give Cuzz an active early jungler.
3. Prevent Dplus’ bottom lane from freely scaling.
4. Force ShowMaker to respond to map movement rather than control the pace.

If KT execute those conditions for two games, the prediction can fail.

The Biggest Rematch Question

Can KT repair the bottom-lane problem quickly enough?

Dplus won the deciding Game 3 after establishing lane priority with Kalista and Renata Glasc. The ADC gold gap became a major part of the game.

KT must either strengthen the lane directly or create enough top-side pressure to make that advantage less relevant.

KT Rolster vs Dplus KIA Prediction

Because the teams just played a competitive three-map series, a sweep in either direction looks less likely.

KT have already shown a functional winning draft, but Dplus demonstrated stronger adaptation over the full BO3.

Final pick: Dplus KIA

Predicted score: Dplus KIA 2–1 KT Rolster

Estimated probability: Dplus KIA 59% – KT Rolster 41%
