LCK 2026 Regular Season Week 4: The DN SOOPers Must Fight
DN SOOPers have had a tragic start to the LCK regular season. It will likely get worse for them this week as they face Gen.G Esports and a surging Dplus KIA. For the rest of the teams, the fourth week is the perfect time to get themselves going. With only three matches left before Round 2, time is running out for the Road to MSI spots.
LCK 2026 Season Week 4 Schedule
KT Rolster Versus KRX
Prediction: KT 2-0
KT has shown no signs of slowing down in the LCK. KRX has not been at a level to compete with KT’s form. The only way KRX wins is if KT’s performance drops.
Hanwha Life Esports Versus Nongshim Redforce
Prediction: HLE 2-0
HLE has started to get the engine going. Only KT has looked more dominant than HLE. Even in the series victories last week, NS has not done enough to be convincing. If they follow the same trend, they will lose both of their series this week.
HANJIN BRION Versus Dplus KIA
Prediction: DK 2-1
It has been going too well for DK without blips in the past week. DK tends to drop a map against teams like BRO. That is the only reason for the 2-1 prediction.
Gen.G Esports Versus DN SOOPers
Prediction: Gen.G 2-0
Even at their best, DNS should not be on the same level. Gen.G might not be at the top of their game, but neither is DNS. The series should be a dominant victory.
FearX Versus KT Rolster
Prediction: KT 2-1
BFX has the capabilities to compete with KT. Their last series showed signs of the team that finished second in the LCK Cup. If they continue that trend, this series should be competitive. KT should still be on top, given their form.
Hanwha Life Esports Versus KRX
Prediction: HLE 2-0
Similar to KRX’s series with KT, they should not be competitive with HLE. There are no signs within the team that match HLE’s level. Ucal will have his work cut out this week. He has to face Bdd and Zeka back-to-back.
T1 Versus HANJIN BRION
Prediction: T1 2-0
T1 will be playing at their Home Ground this week. In most situations, T1 should be the favorite to win against BRO. With their fans’ support, T1 should have a significant advantage. Keria is also at his best, playing up against Namgung.
Dplus KIA Versus DN SOOPers
Prediction: DK 2-0
DNS has not shown much in the LCK regular season. The only team they have beaten so far is KRX. On the other hand, DK is on the rise and should dominate the series.
T1 Versus BFX
Prediction: T1 2-1
The last time the two teams met, BFX destroyed T1 3-0. A lot has changed since then. T1 is not the most confident, but neither is BFX. Against T1’s home crowd, BFX will have a difficult task to beat T1.
Nongshim Redforce Versus Gen.G Esports
Prediction: Gen.G 2-0
Now is the perfect time for NS to face Gen.G in the LCK. They are not at their dominant best, and NS can exploit that fact. However, NS makes too many mistakes in a series to compete with Gen.G at their weakest.
Near The Halfway Point
After this week’s matches, teams would have played against all but one opponent. With only ten matches left after week four, teams must step up if they want to qualify for MSI. KT and HLE are the front-runners, but this week could change everything.
