HANJIN BRION vs KT Rolster match analysis

HANJIN BRION and KT Rolster have a similar reputation, albeit at different levels. BRO is this bottom-place team that has a lot of fans thanks to its name alone. However, they always pull off regular upset wins against the best teams in the league despite being one of the weakest competitors.

As for KT, they’ll historically do the unexpected. When no one believes in them, they can go as far as beating prime Gen.G – both regionally and at the Worlds semifinal. On the other hand, the moment they start looking like favorites, they’ll fall at the nearest struggle.

In 2026, KT has gone through peaks and throughs. Starting the season at 8-0, then dropping down looking like a different roster altogether, then beating everyone again, then failing once more. Currently, they’re in the play-in due to the latest episode of that incident.

Right now, KT has a problem in the bot lane as they’ve gone through three marksmen in the past month. At first, they kicked Kim “Aiming” Ha-ram to replace him with Park “FenRir” Kang-jun right before a match. Since then, they’ve started also sometimes replacing him with Jung “Jiwoo” Ji-woo.

The issue is that by alternating between two brand new ADCs, KT is showing stability problems by never growing used to one of them. On the other hand, BRO has Park “Teddy” Jin-seong as their ADC. As one of the LCK’s best players, he is often the player to win the games for BRO. As such, bot lane will be the one point of hope for them while the rest of the map favors KT.

• Total games under 4.5: BRO should be able to win one game through the bot lane, but two or three seems out of reach.
