The poor performance at that time made fans worry, especially since DK was the team that just won Esports World Cup and had high form in the mid-season of the LCK season. But then the team proved its strength by quickly regaining spirit and playing more determined. Not only that, DK nearly fell into danger when BNK FEARX led 2-0 in the previous match. However, the team quickly regained form, completed the comeback, and continued to defeat KT Rolster to secure a spot in the top 4 of LCK. The bottom lane duo has become the foundation of DK. After the reverse sweep against BNK FEARX, Dplus KIA entered the match against KT Rolster with the desire to avenge. However, the first game made DK fans worried as KT quickly controlled the game and won easily. However, DK responded immediately in game 2. The two teams created a tense stalemate lasting 42 minutes. Then, careful preparation and reasonable ban/pick helped Dplus KIA gain advantage. DK continuously restricted KT's strong picks, making the opponent have few opportunities to unleash their power. One of the most prominent names on DK's side is sniper Sin "Smash" Geum-jae. The MVP of the Esports World Cup final continued to have an impressive performance by continuously creating advantages for the home team in the games Dplus KIA won. Besides Smash, Oh "Career" Hyung-suk also had a notable return. After not performing well in the first game, Career quickly regained confidence and coordinated effectively with his teammate in the bottom lane. DK returns to the CKTG stage. With the victory over KT Rolster, Dplus KIA officially returns to the most prestigious stage of LMHT after missing CKTG 2026. Notably, Smash, Career, and Jeon "Siwoo" Si-woo will be participating in a CKTG for the first time. However, before thinking about raising the world championship trophy, DK still has a long road ahead. The team will have to win three more games to win LCK. The next challenge for ShowMaker and his teammates will be T1 in the match on Sunday. After the impressive return, Dplus KIA is showing that they are still one of the formidable contenders in LCK this season.
