Match Analysis
T1 entered the LCK Spring 2026 playoffs as the top seed after dominating the regular season. DRX, seeded fourth, were considered a test of T1’s ability to close out confident opponents.
Why We Backed T1
Regular season dominance — T1 finished 14-4, three games clear of the field. Their consistency across the season, particularly Faker’s mid-lane control, gives them a systematic edge over any opponent.
DRX’s playoff inexperience — Three of DRX’s five starters are playing in their first LCK playoff run. The nerves were evident in their first-round series against Gen.G, where they dropped a game they were heavily favoured to win.
Zeka vs Faker — The mid lane match-up was always going to define this series. Zeka is talented but has not shown he can consistently win the 1v1 against the best player in LoL history.
Result
T1 swept DRX 2-0 in a commanding performance. Faker posted a 8.2 KDA across both games. Tip won at 1.55.
