SOOPers Hoping to Bounce Back
SOOPers started the 2026 season with a 1-2 loss against KT Rolster. They took the series lead with a strong early-game, shutting down KT Rolster, who opted for a very odd draft.
The next two maps went more like you would expect. KT Rolster crushed SOOPers on map two and blew open a huge lead in the early game on map three and never turned back.
SOOPers actually fought well on map three and almost clawed back into the game. The game ended in KT's favour, mainly thanks to Bdd. So even though SOOPers lost, they had their moments.
SOOPers Squad & Team News
SOOPers have signed a new mid laner, support, and ADC for the 2026 season.

- Hong "Pyosik" Chang-hyeon – jungle
- Lee "Clozer" Ju-hyeon – mid lane
- Seo "deokdam" Dae-gil – ADC
- Kim "Life" Jeong-min – support
- Jeong "Peter" Yoon-su – support
Dplus KIA To Keep Thier Momentum Going
Dplus KIA opened the LCK Cup with a 2-0 sweep of BRION. There is not much to say about this one, as Dplus crushed their opponents with ease.
The second map was an absolute obliteration, which in part has to do with the simple fact that Dplus KIA have a better and far more experienced roster. However, it is worth noting that Dplus looked very confident, which is not something to ignore.
This core had potential last season, but they just couldn't find their footing. If Dplus KIA's victory over BRION is any indication, they appear to be in much better shape this season, which could be thanks to the new coach, cvMax.

Verdict
Dplus KIA enter this match as heavy favourites, and for all the right reasons. They looked excellent in their opening match of the season, when Dplus KIA swept BRION. Admittedly, they had the luxury of playing a weak team, but it is not like SOOPers are that much stronger.
Credit is where credit is due. SOOPers showed some fight against KT Rolster, but their best moments came due to KT's errors. Dplus are much more complete team and less prone to slipping up, which should make it harder for SOOPers to find their openings.
