LCK 2026 Regular Season Day 7: KT Is the Last Undefeated Team Alive

KRX was one of two teams that did not get a win in the opening week of the LCK. On the other hand, both KT Rolster and Nongshim Redforce went 2-0. KRX won their first series of the regular season following a turbulent match with HANJIN BRION. KT has asserted themselves as the best team in the league at the moment. They are the only team with an unbeaten record after they defeated NS.

Game One – GIDEON and Teddy Stop the Comeback

GIDEON led BRO to a significant gold lead in the mid-game. KRX only got their first kill at 26 minutes. They stemmed the bleeding and looked primed to deny BRO’s Hextech Soul. However, GIDEON and Teddy won a 2v5, and GIDEON stole the Drake. With Baron and the Soul at their backs, they ended the game.

Game Two – A Ucal Flank Ends the Chaos

Game two saw seven Drakes and two Barons dying before it ended. BRO surged to a gold lead early into the game, and it seemed doomed for KRX. They kept fighting, and the game went back and forth. From nail-biting fights to crazy base defenses, this game had it all. Ucal would be the one to make the decisive play, flanking the entire BRO team as they pushed down the mid lane. KRX won the game despite BRO having the gold lead for most of it.

Game Three – KRX Controlled Game

After a chaotic game two, the teams returned to the rift. It was the second time a series had gone the distance in the LCK regular season. KRX took control of the final game of the series from start to finish. Andil and Willer had their best performance of the regular season. KRX has earned their first series victory of the LCK season.

KT Rolster Versus Nongshim Redforce

Game One – No One Wins Until KT Does

Whenever it seemed like a team was getting a lead in game one, the opponent responded. The teams played tennis, trading kills and fight wins. There were some silly moments, with strange engagements, mispositions, and objective steals. Ultimately, KT got the crucial advantage and ended the first game.

Game Two – A More Assured Victory

While game one could have gone either way, KT dominated the second game. Cuzz and Bdd took over the rift on the classic Vi and Ahri combination. They were monstrous from start to finish as they won their battle against the NS mid-jungle duo. The rest of KT delivered alongside them for the win.

A More Assured Victory

KRX were moments away from losing the series 2-0. They had to recover in the final game to have a chance at winning. But after that, they finally showed why teams feared them in the LCK Cup. Game three was a stomp, and we will need to see more of the same if they want to rise in the LCK standings.

KT Continue to Perform

For the third consecutive series, KT has been the better team. Game one was not the most comfortable of victories, but KT emerged victorious. There are no calls for KT being the LCK winners, nor should many expect them to qualify for MSI yet. We have eight more weeks of LCK competition, which could see a variety of results by the time we reach Road to MSI.
