LoL - LCK: KT Rolster extend their playoff run with a win over Nongshim, set to face T1 in Busan

KT Rolster pick up a second consecutive win in the Road to MSI. After a 3-0 sweep against Dplus KIA on Saturday, they’ve just clean swept Nongshim RedForce to punch their ticket to Busan. There, they’ll face T1 first, and if they win, they’ll take on the loser of Gen.G vs Hanwha Life Esports. Two more best-of-fives stand between KT and their first-ever MSI appearance.

KT Rolster’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down as they pick up their tenth win in their last eleven LCK best-of series. Against Nongshim RedForce, they made quick work of the series, with no game lasting more than 30 minutes. The first was a clinic in control—KT secured every major objective, leaving Nongshim with just two towers and no real impact.

Game 2 was even faster, ending in under 27 minutes, with Seo "deokdam" Dae-gil's Senna and Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong's Ryze standing out—especially with Bdd finishing the game with a flashy Realm Warp into the enemy fountain. The third and final game was the only one where Nongshim showed signs of life in the early game, but once laning was over, KT steamrolled through. A 29-minute bloodbath with 45 total kills sealed another dominant 3-0, completed in under 90 minutes. KT Rolster are heading to Busan in peak form.

Only three best-of-fives remain in the LCK. The first will take place on June 13 between Hanwha Life Esports and Gen.G. On June 14, T1 and KT Rolster will face off in a high-stakes Telecom War, with the loser eliminated. The winner will move on to play the loser of Gen.G vs HLE on June 15 for a spot at MSI 2025 in Canada. All three series will be played at the Busan Sajik Indoor Gymnasium. No LCK champion will be crowned at the end of this bracket—the title will be decided in the Summer Split.
