In the first round of the regular season of the '2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)' held at LoL Park in Jongno on the 17th, Dplus Kia won 2:1 in the match between Dplus Kia and T1. The last 3 sets were games where you could see the changed D Plus Kia. Although we started at a disadvantage, we did not collapse, but made up for the losses little by little, and did not miss the momentum of the turnaround that we had brought about until the end.

It was Dplus Kia that took the first set lead. The good play from all lines was effective. ‘Smash’ Shin Geum-jae’s Jin and ‘Career’ Oh Hyeong-seok’s Karma took control of the lane and widened the gap, while ‘Siwoo’ Si-woo Si-woo’s Rumble gently let go of the opponent’s gank. 'Showmaker' Heo Su's Cassiopeia and 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok's Shin Zhao continued to score in small-scale skirmishes. Although Cassiopeia was cut once, Dplus Kia safely took the third dragon.

Around the 25th minute, Dplus Kia's chemical engineering soul appeared. T1 opened the teamfight with the ultimate of 'Owner' Hyun-Jun Moon's Pantheon and Sang-Hyeok 'Faker' Lee Sang-Hyeok's Rise, but the difference in damage was too large. Dplus Kia swept 4 kills with no casualties. Dplus Kia, who easily took Baron, widened the gap by 8,000 gold in 31 minutes. In the end, in the final team fight held in front of Elder, Dplus Kia won the first set with a clean ace.

T1 took the lead in the second set. Kim Soo-hwan's Caitlin and 'Keria' Ryu Min-seok's Lux scored duo kills, and 'Owner' Nocturne also took the lead by catching Leblanc of 'Showmaker'. Instead of giving a kill, Dplus Kia also counterattacked by breaking the dragon stack and pushing out the first mid tower. T1 then responded by immediately demolishing the bottom and mid towers.

At around the 23rd minute, T1, who captured the opposing jungle-supporter in a teamfight ahead of the third dragon, headed for Baron. Dplus Kia tried to defend, but ended up giving up 3 more kills. T1, who quickly widened the gap by more than 5,000 gold, continued to win game after game. The damage done by the dealer line consisting of Jace-Azir-Caitlyn was devastating. T1, who had an ace in the soul teamfight, destroyed Dplus Kia's Nexus and tied the score at 1:1.

The final 3 sets will decide the winner. T1's bottom duo, who chose Mel and Pike, took the lead by catching 'Smash' Corki. Pike of 'Keria', who was on his feet, visited mid and top in turn and gave the laners a kill. In particular, 'Siwoo's Vayne became 0/4/0 due to Pike's persistent roaming. However, Dplus Kia did not just collapse. They dispatched personnel to the tower to take care of the situation, and they continued to engage in a melee and somehow created an exchange structure.

Dplus Kia, who delayed T1's snowball, completely brought the momentum to the table by scoring a large number of points in the Dragon teamfight held around the 25th minute. Before the teamfight, Vayne started off with a solo kill on Faker's Aurora, and Lucid's Lee Sin's hit-and-run movement was also good. As Lee Sin once again cut Aurora, Dplus Kia even took care of Baron. It was the moment when global gold turned around.

Dplus Kia showed off its destructive power by launching an ace even in teamfights without Bane. It was a battle where the limits of non-ADD were felt. T1 collapsed helplessly from the damage caused by the overgrown Corki. Now it was time for complete deplus starvation. Dplus Kia, which took Baron too easily, cut the pike and headed toward the enemy camp. They achieved a huge victory with Corki's triple kill, putting an end to the match.
