The EWC 2026 League of Legends match between Dplus KIA and G2 Esports, held on the 16th at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, ended in a 2-0 victory for Dplus KIA. By defeating G2 2-0, DK finished second in the 'Group of Death' and advanced to the quarterfinals.

DK took an early lead by securing kills and dominating G2 in Dragon teamfights, holding a 7-1 kill score and a 6k gold lead by the 14-minute mark. G2 collapsed quickly; rather than playing defensively, they continued to attempt their signature aggressive, high-variance plays, but DK shut them down, accelerating the game's conclusion. Maintaining control over objectives, DK secured the Dragon Soul and Baron before destroying G2's Nexus in 26 minutes to claim the win.

G2 caught 'ShowMaker's' Zoe with a three-man mid-lane gank. In response, DK dove the top lane to take down 'Broken Blade's' Rumble, and G2 countered with a kill in the bottom lane. The match remained a tense, back-and-forth affair with constant trades.

The skirmishes were intense, with both teams splitting the first two Dragons. While DK's damage dealers showed balanced growth, G2's 'Caps' on Sylas was growing at an exceptional rate. However, DK won a dramatic mid-lane teamfight, handing Sylas his first death and gaining a significant advantage.

G2 managed to pick off 'Kellin's' Rell and 'Siwoo's' Jayce near the Baron pit, successfully securing the Baron. Nevertheless, DK overwhelmed G2 in the two major teamfights that followed, ultimately winning the series 2-0 and advancing to the quarterfinals as the second seed in their group.
