Dplus KIA confirmed on May 29 that 18-year-old jungler Kim "Sharvel" Dan-woo will start their LCK Week 9 final against Kiwoom DRX at the LCK Arena, with Choi "Lucid" Yong-hyeok moved to the Challengers League for the same matchday. The organisation said the change was made to give the rookie an LCK start.
Dplus KIA sit fifth at 9-7 and have already locked their Legend Group berth for Rounds 3-4, with BNK FearX and mathematically out of reach. Today's match — DK's last of Rounds 1-2 — decides only intra-group seeding.
