T1 Esports Academy and KT Rolster will battle for the 2026 LCK Challengers League (LCK CL) championship at WDG Studio Hongdae on the 15th at 5pm.
T1 Esports Academy earned a direct path to Round 2 of the playoffs after finishing top of the regular-season Challenge Group. They then defeated KT Rolster and Dplus KIA in consecutive playoff series, winning both 3-1 to book their place in the Grand Final.
KT Rolster, meanwhile, secured their spot in the title decider after edging Dplus KIA in a five-game battle in the lower-bracket final on the 14th.
After falling short of a third straight championship last year, KT are once again within reach of the LCK CL title.
The teams have met seven times this season across Kickoff, the regular season and playoffs, with T1 Esports Academy holding a dominant 6-1 head-to-head record.
However, KT have momentum on their side. They have won their last two meetings with T1A, including a Round 3 lower-bracket clash and the lower-bracket final.
The Grand Final winner will take home 40 million won and the championship trophy, while the 2026 LCK CL Regular Season Awards will also be announced before the match.
Fans can watch the Grand Final live on the official LCK CL SOOP and CHZZK channels.
The 2026 LCK CL is hosted and organized by Riot Games, with the Korea e-Sports Association overseeing management. WDG is responsible for broadcast production, while Woori Bank serves as a sponsor.
