Down 0–7, Yet Victorious: Dplus KIA's Stunning Worlds Comeback Against G2

If kills alone decided League of Legends, this match might have been over early. But 0–7 was a midgame snapshot, not the final score. DK protected what it could and rewrote the outcome in one late team fight.

The opening Swiss round took place in Allen, Texas, on October 23 local time, October 24 in Korea. Fourth-seeded LCK team DK faced Europe's top-seeded G2 in a best-of-one. G2 raced to a 7–0 kill lead; DK took early dragons and limited the deficit. A decisive later dragon-area fight, with Siwoo's Olaf central to the engagement, let DK march down mid and destroy the Nexus.

The drama lay in the contrast: Europe's first seed lost despite an imposing early kill lead against Korea's fourth seed. The match showed how kills, dragons and late-game team fights can tell different stories. A post-match discussion thread appeared on the League of Legends subreddit as fans digested the result.

The post-match Reddit thread recorded 'DK 1–0 G2' and a scoreboard with champions and objectives. It confirms public discussion, but does not establish a representative balance of fan sentiment. Match reports emphasized DK's decisive execution while also noting G2's mistakes.

In the Swiss Stage, one win does not guarantee a knockout berth. Teams need three wins to advance, while three losses mean elimination. DK's comeback is a significant opening, not a final standing.

GameView's October 24 report described DK recovering from a 0–7 kill deficit and roughly 3,500 gold behind. Xportsnews reported DK's entry into the 1–0 group at 6:53 a.m. The post-match Reddit record independently lists DK as the 1–0 victor. The 0–7 figure is a midgame kill count, not the match result.

DK moves into the 1–0 pool and G2 into the 0–1 pool. Their next opponents and precise times should be checked after the official next-round draw. A dramatic single game is not the outcome of the entire tournament.
