BNK FEARX Have More to Show
BNK FEARX qualified for the playoffs via the Play-in stage, where they defeated Nongshim RedForce and HAJIN BRION. In neither game did BFX show anything exceptional, continuing a trend from group play.
BNK FEARX have been serviceable this split, but seem to be having their worst split of the season, having underdelivered compared to the high expectations. They forced a game five against T1 in the first round of the playoffs, but that proves little, mainly because T1 played exceptionally poorly.
Much like in their other matches, BNK FEARX did not produce anything memorable in the 2-3 loss against T1, but they did take advantage of T1’s mistakes. That ability, however, could come in handy on Thursday, as Dplus KIA are anything but a team that doesn’t make mistakes.

Dplus KIA Can Be Very Sloppy
Dplus KIA have had both very high highs and low lows this season and have been playing a lot like Dplus KIA from 2025. This is a very stacked roster, with players good enough for Dplus KIA to challenge a podium finish; but the issue with this squad is a lack of consistency.
They will play a good game, only to slip in key moments or choke massive leads. This has happened many times in the final split of the season, more recently in Dplus KIA’s 0-3 loss against KT Rolster.
So while the expectations on Dplus KIA are justifiably high, you never know what version of DK you’re going to get. They can defeat anyone, but are just as likely to lose to anyone.

| August 30 | LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4 | KT Rolster | 0-3 (L) |

Verdict
Dplus KIA are a much stronger team on paper, and they have produced notably better performances this season. However, as good as DK can be, they’re also more than capable of producing stinkers, with their tendency to choke in the mid-late game.
There’s always a possibility that Dplus KIA lose to anyone, regardless of how much better they appear. However, there is no denying that DK are a tier above BNK FEARX, who’ve spent the entire split competing in a lower division group and even there, they’ve failed to produce much.
