On the 18th, kt Rolster defeated DN Supers at LoL PARK in Jongno during the first round of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season, securing a comfortable victory without any major setbacks to extend their winning streak to six. Conversely, DN Supers fell to a 1-5 record, marking their fifth consecutive loss.

In the first game, kt Rolster's 'Bdd' attempted a dive toward the bottom lane with Akali. DNS anticipated the move and retreated, resulting in a 1-for-1 trade between Akali and Ashe. However, kt Rolster clearly held the edge in macro play thereafter, skillfully dodging enemy attempts while landing effective plays of their own.

After securing two dragons and the Rift Herald, kt Rolster began to tighten the screws on DNS. While there were no massive, game-deciding teamfights, the momentum gradually shifted in kt Rolster's favor as they monopolized objectives to bolster their late-game strength. 'Aiming's' Ezreal proved particularly troublesome, landing precise poke damage throughout. In the final teamfight, kt Rolster executed a perfect formation to achieve their desired outcome, taking the first set with ease.

In the second set, kt Rolster drew first blood in the bottom lane thanks to a gank from 'Cuzz's' Nocturne, while 'Perfect's' Jayce won a 1-on-1 duel against 'DuDu's' K'Sante in the top lane. kt Rolster began to accelerate, winning skirmishes across the mid and bottom lanes and stacking dragons. By the 16-minute mark, they had built a 5,000-gold lead.

Despite the deficit, DNS managed to land a few punches and pick up kills, but it wasn't enough to turn the tide. kt Rolster eventually used Bard's ultimate to lock down 'Clozer's' Orianna, winning a decisive teamfight and securing Baron. They went on to claim the Dragon Soul and destroyed the enemy Nexus to close out the series.
