KT Rolster, one of the most recognizable names in Korean League of Legends history, was swept 0-3 by Gen.G on June 13 in the LCK Road to MSI Round 4 elimination match. The loss officially ended KT’s path to the 2026 playoffs, and now the real drama is playing out not on Summoner’s Rift but on Polymarket, where bettors are grappling with what this elimination means for their open positions.
A season of disappointment
The Gen.G loss wasn’t KT Rolster’s first stumble this year. The organization was already eliminated from the LCK Cup 2026 Play-Ins back on February 6, falling to DN SOOPers before the Cup’s main stage even got underway.
The LCK’s 2026 season structure is split into distinct segments: the LCK Cup runs from January through March, the Road to MSI spans April to June, and the main playoffs are scheduled to begin in September following the regular season. KT needed to perform in the Road to MSI bracket to keep their competitive momentum alive heading into the back half of the year.
