Dplus KIA fell 1-2 to Gen.G in their 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match held at LoL Park in Jonggak on the 2nd. Although Dplus KIA had managed to defeat Gen.G in Round 1—breaking a five-year winless streak against them—they were unable to repeat the feat in Round 2.

Q. How do you feel about today's match against Gen.G?

Head Coach Kim Dae-ho: It's disappointing to lose.

'Siwoo': It was fun throughout the games, but it's a shame we lost in the end.

Q. Since you won Game 2, you must be feeling quite disappointed, right?

Head Coach Kim Dae-ho: The matches themselves were fun, and our practice went well. I felt that if we just refine the details in our laning phase across all sets, we can take the leap to become a top-tier team.

'Siwoo': In Game 1, it was a Jayce vs. Sion matchup. Jayce should have performed better in the laning phase, but I missed too many CS. In Game 3, I thought Renekton could bounce back against Nidalee after level 6, but the incident during Pantheon's first ultimate timing was too costly. If not for that, I think we could have pressured the Nidalee.

Q. What do you think was the biggest reason for the loss in Game 3?

Head Coach Kim Dae-ho: We lost a lot of momentum early on in the mid-jungle matchup, so we couldn't keep up with the tempo. Also, our draft put pressure on our bottom and top lanes, making it difficult to open up the game. I think the opponent played the laning phase a bit better.

Q. Round 2 has begun. What is your overall outlook for the rest of the round?

Head Coach Kim Dae-ho: Based on what I felt today, our form is good. If we address our weaknesses while maintaining what we do well, I believe we can consistently show a high level of performance.

Q. A final word for the fans

Head Coach Kim Dae-ho: Thank you to all the fans who support us. I've caught a cold, so I hope the fans stay safe and avoid getting sick as well. We will work hard to ensure we win our next match.

'Siwoo': I know many people were cheering for us, and I'm sorry and disappointed that we lost. I will do my best to win the next match and finish the season with good results.
