SourceJune form favors Dplus after a 3–1 win
In their June 21 series, Dplus Kia Challengers defeated T1 Esports Academy 3–1 with the core lineup of Jaehyuk, Garden, Wayne, Sharvel, and Loopy, suggesting they enter this rematch with tangible momentum and confidence.
SourceObjective-based identity gives Dplus a strategic edge
Dplus Kia Challengers post elite objective control numbers in 2026, including win rates above 85% on first dragon and nearly 90% on first baron, indicating a game plan built around early neutral objectives and tempo.
SourceBot lane duel between Wayne and Cloud could decide teamfight outcomes
Wayne’s 4.95 KDA over 58 games highlights his reliability as Dplus’s primary carry threat, while Cloud has been a consistent starter in T1’s recent LCK CL lineups, making the bottom lane a focal battleground for this series.
SourceMid lane clash of stability vs playmaking
Garden’s 3.59 KDA and full-time starting status in 2026 anchor Dplus’s mid lane with stability, whereas Guti’s recurring starts for T1 Esports Academy suggest a more playmaking-oriented focal point in their drafts.
SourcePick Ideas
Slight lean toward Dplus on moneyline
Season-long data showing positive KDAs for all five Dplus starters and strong performance across 58 games make Dplus a justifiable favorite on the match-winner market if odds remain reasonably close to even.
Look to the over on total kills
With Sharvel averaging 3.3 kills and 8.2 assists and Loopy contributing 10.7 assists per game, Dplus’s playstyle tends to produce high-action midgame fights, making an over on total kills attractive if the line is set conservatively.
Top lane kill prop on Jaehyuk
Jaehyuk’s 2.5 kills and 4.9 assists per game across 58 appearances suggest solid contribution without reckless deaths, making moderate over lines on his kill count reasonable in competitive series versus T1’s rotating top side.
Value spot on T1 as statistical underdog
T1 Esports Academy’s higher global ranking relative to Dplus Kia Challengers in spring 2026 suggests underlying quality that has not fully translated into results, so plus-money positions on T1 or small map handicaps merit consideration if bookmakers heavily favor Dplus.
