In the match between D+ Kia and DN Supers in Round 1 of the '2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK)' held at Jongno Chijijik LoL Park on the 25th, D+ Kia reached the milestone of 5 wins with a 2-0 victory. Furthermore, they extended their winning streak to 3 consecutive wins. D+ Kia's final opponent in Round 1 is BNK PierX.

In Set 1, D+ Kia got off to a good start. They secured first blood in an open 4v4 skirmish over the bottom Rift Scuttler and added a kill through a bottom lane gank by 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok's Pantheon. In response, DN Supers managed to recover a point with a top lane gank but suffered another loss at the Rift Scuttler. Pantheon used his ultimate to repeatedly ambush the mid lane, handing 'Clozer' Lee Ju-hyun's Oriana two deaths, while 'Showmaker' Heo Su's Twisted Fate secured a kill through a bottom lane roam. Having widened the gold gap to approximately 4,000 by the 15-minute mark, D+ Kia continued to snowball by demolishing towers one by one. They aggressively entered the enemy jungle to secure vision, inflicting a fifth death on 'Quantum' Son Jeong-hwan's Nautilus in the process. Although they were pushed into a crisis after giving up 3 kills in front of the Baron, 'Siu' Jeon Si-woo's Illaoi extinguished the immediate fire by securing a double kill. After taking the Baron as well, D+ Kia quickly widened the gap to 10,000 and ended the match. The early stages of Set 2 were tight. Both teams maintained a delicate balance by continuously exchanging kills. Duo kills in the bottom lane also alternated. Subsequently, a macro battle focused on objectives unfolded for quite a long time, during which DN Supers secured 2 stacks of the Dragon and the Rift Herald. Conversely, D+ Kia quickly pushed down the first mid tower. The tide turned at the third Dragon. D+ Kia achieved a decisive victory with a clean ultimate combination, firmly seizing the initiative. Although 'Showmaker's' Yone was caught once, it did not affect the overall flow of the game. As Yone single-handedly attacked the Dragon, DN Supers headed for Baron, which proved to be a bad move. With about one-third of Baron's health remaining, Yone teleported away, and D+ Kia secured a decisive victory in the teamfight before finishing off Baron as well. The global gold gap widened to over 8,000 in an instant. Advancing with the second Baron buff, D+ Kia finished off the second set with a victory.
