KT Rolster and T1 face off in the final week of the LCK Rounds 1-2. With them both sitting at 12-4, this is a pivotal match in the race for second place. The next episode of the Telecom Wars is upon us, and the stakes are at their highest.
Betting tips: T1 has the edge in this matchup, but not by as much as the odds indicate. In fact, their last encounter ended in a stomp in KT’s favor. T1 remains the safer bet, but KT might yield a high payout with decent chances. For what it’s worth, the World champions are 10-0 on the first match of the day and 2-4 on the second (which this one is).

At the start of the split, KT Rolster beat T1 to finally breathe some life into the Telecom Wars. Still, this matchup has gone 12-3 in T1’s favor since the start of 2024. Now, the question is whether the results will follow history or recency.
At the beginning of Rounds 1-2, KT was a dominating team in the same way that Gen.G normally is, and with similar patterns. As luck would have it, T1 has never done well against that style, falling to Gen.G almost every time they meet.
Now, eight weeks have passed and the order in the LCK is fully unknown. KT is no longer at the top, T1 is back in good form, but where does that leave them compared to each other? In terms of scorelines, they’re even, but all the top teams in the LCK are playing weirdly.
KT and T1 have both shown that they’re fully capable of crushing other teams, of getting stomped in the same series, and of giving away most of their lead. However, T1 is particularly good at coming back all of a sudden during a game. Even when 5-10k gold behind, the World champions can turn things around and win the map minutes later.
With only two matches left in the split for each team, this series will be crucial for their chances at qualifying for MSI. The winner has much greater odds of finishing in second place, which would make them start in the upper bracket of Road to MSI.

T1’s proficiency to come back when behind should tip the scales in their favor. With KT sometimes happily giving away their own lead, they’ll accept the gift on the spot.
