Gen.G defeated Dplus KIA 2-1 in their 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match at LoL Park in Jonggak on the 2nd, successfully avenging their loss from the first round.

Dplus KIA opted for Jayce in the top lane and Lee Sin in the jungle, needing to secure early advantages against Gen.G's Sion. However, Gen.G struck first by taking down 'Siwoo's' Jayce in the top lane, allowing 'Kingen's' Sion to have a comfortable laning phase.

DK needed to find openings in the mid or bottom lanes rather than the top. They created an opportunity by winning a pure 2v2 skirmish in the bottom lane without jungle intervention, taking down both of Gen.G's bot lane duo. Despite this, Gen.G continued to execute their game plan, securing two dragon stacks and catching 'ShowMaker's' Annie.

After taking the Rift Herald, DK noticed Gen.G committing multiple players to the top lane to deal with Jayce and immediately used the Herald to destroy the mid and bottom tier-1 towers. A team fight broke out when Gen.G initiated in the mid lane ahead of the next dragon. Annie and Caitlyn were traded, and after Sion recovered health and joined via Teleport, Gen.G secured their third dragon stack, though DK gained a slight gold lead in the exchange.

Gen.G used Sion to secure vision around Baron, successfully sneaked the objective, and then won the ensuing team fight. They pushed straight through the top lane and destroyed DK's Nexus in 27 minutes to take the win.

In Game 2, 'Kingen's' Aatrox and 'Siwoo's' Gnar traded kills in an early 1v1. DK secured a dragon while Gen.G took down 'Kellin's' Pyke. DK, having previously forced 'Chovy's' Aurora to burn Flash, successfully collapsed with Ahri and Jarvan IV to secure the kill on Aurora.

DK continued to snowball by securing dragons and watching Gnar earn a solo kill against Aatrox in the bottom lane. When Gen.G started the Rift Herald, DK contested it, and 'Lucid' successfully stole the objective. DK leveraged their dragon advantage to maintain momentum. Gnar perfectly complemented DK's non-ADC composition, and with clean macro play, they secured the Dragon Soul and eventually destroyed Gen.G's Nexus to tie the series 1-1.

In the final third game, Gen.G's 'Duro' rotated his Karma to the mid lane to take down 'ShowMaker's' Orianna. In a subsequent fight over the Void Grubs, 'Chovy's' Sylas arrived first to help secure kills on Renekton and Pantheon. Although DK's Orianna narrowly escaped a dangerous situation and the team managed to take down 'Canyon's' Skarner, Orianna was caught and eliminated in the mid lane shortly after.

Gen.G accelerated their pace, consistently securing dragons to reach three stacks quickly. 'Canyon's' Skarner found successful plays across the map, widening the gold gap significantly. 'Chovy's' Sylas grew rapidly, showcasing immense power. By the 23-minute mark, Gen.G had secured Baron and the Dragon Soul, holding a 9,000-gold lead. Gen.G maintained their offensive pressure to secure a dominant victory in Game 3, defeating DK 2-1 and marking a successful start to their Round 2 campaign.
