Neither team have impressed recently, especially Dplus KIA, who have much higher expectations put on them. However, some may argue that DK deserve some slack as they’ve had to deal with a very rough schedule, playing some of the league’s better teams.
BNK FEARX have also had to face some of LCK’s top dogs, and while they’ve shown some good things, they have become known for shooting themselves in the foot more times than not.
FEARX will consistently find openings and put themselves in favourable positions, only to throw it all away by being too confident.
A small, yet impactful weakness, which Dplus KIA could look to exploit.
- Dplus KIA have more to show
- BNK FEARX can be overly confident
- Both teams have weaknesses

Dplus KIA Are Not in Great Shape
Dplus KIA are 8-7 ahead of Saturday’s game, which puts them in an excellent spot to finish the regular season inside the top five. They’ve won two of the last six games, including against DN SOOPers and HAJIN BRION, who Dplus KIA defeated on Thursday.
With a 2-4 record from the last six, Dplus KIA are not in the best shape; however, their losses came against Gen.G, KT Rolster, T1, and Hanwha Life Esports – some of the league’s strongest teams.
Over that stretch and this split, Dplus KIA have shown some flashes of greatness, but also weaknesses, including poor late game transitions. This was also noticeable in DK’s recent 2-1 victory against BRION, although it is fair to say that ShowMaker and his men also showed good things, mainly in the drafting phase.
Dplus KIA are a strong team, but they are not in the best shape, and some may argue they’re at their lowest point form-wise.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 21 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | HAJIN BRION | 2-1 (W) |
| May 15 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | Hanwha Life Esports | 0-2 (L) |

BNK FEARX Can Get Overly Confident
BNK FEARX are 5-10 this split and fresh off a 0-2 loss against Hanwha Life Esports. They’ve had a bit of a rough stretch recently, but they also had to play KT Rolster, Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, and Nongshim RedForce, beating the latter 2-0 at the end of Week 7.
Even that game was very close to a coin-flip, so they do not deserve much praise for beating RedForce.
On a more positive note, Kellin and Taeyoon are both playing exceptionally well and are two strong points on BNK FEARX.
Looking back at their recent loss to Hanwha Life Esports, BNK FEARX were in an excellent position to win both maps, but they threw away substantial leads on both maps due to overplaying. This has been a problem with this team this entire season – they can get themselves in good spots, but also get way too confident.
| Date | Event | Opponent | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| May 21 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | Hanwha Life Esports | 0-2 (L) |
| May 19 | EWC 2026 Korea Qualifiers | Nongshim RedForce | 1-2 (L) |
| May 16 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | Nongshim RedForce | 0-2 (W) |
| May 14 | LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 | Gen.G | 0-2 (L) |
| May 12 | EWC 2026 Korea Qualifiers | T1 | 0-2 (L) |

Verdict
Dplus KIA are expected to win, and that’s fair. They’re a stronger roster, capable of higher highs than BNK FEARX, but they’ve not been playing that well recently, and their mid-late game transition has been struggling.
BNK FEARX have their own issues. They can find openings and will put themselves ahead, but then get too confident, overplay their positions and lose it all.
This is a clash between two volatile teams, prone to making mistakes that lose them games. So even though DK should be favoured, they are too volatile to imagine this ending in a sweep, despite Dplus KIA having side choice.
