Current Roster | ||
Dplus KIA is a Korean team sponsored by KIA Motors. They were previously known as DAMWON Gaming and DWG KIA.
History[]
On 28th May 2017 Damwon signed the roster of MiraGe Gaming who had just qualified for the Challenger scene.
2017 Season[]
The roster with Parang, Crush, TRY, BeryL, and Hoit was kept together going into Summer Split and had a good start where they won their 5 series before dropping to the two other top teams CJ Entus and Kongdoo. During the week off they signed another midlaner in CooN but after seemingly recovering from a 3rd loss in a row with 2 victories they lost all of their remaining series and finished the split in 5th with an even 7-7 record outside of playoff positions.
Damwon went into 2017 LoL KeSPA Cup with a renewed roster after their midlaners left. They signed Nuguri and Alive who had a tough split with I Gaming Star as well as rookie ShowMaker. They found themselves directly in the starting roster as the team managed to beat Kongdoo for the first time in round 1 but was knocked out without a chance by LCK team Jin Air.
2018 Season[]
Going into 2018 Season BeryL moved to support and shared the support position with Hoit. In the Spring Split Damwon had another good first half of the split where they only fell to the other topteam Griffin and brought in jungler Punch who was dropped by Kongdoo in offseason and experienced AD carry Veritas who was a free agent as well after CJ disbanded. In the second half they lost the rematch against Griffin as well as the series against Ever8 Winners but went into playoffs with a 4-match winstreak and as favorites as Griffin was already qualified for the promotion tournament. They met E8W in semifinals and were upset by them again.
In midseason Crush, Veritas and Alive left the team while Nuclear was signed AD carry replacement and a new coach was brought in. This time Damwon were the dominating team of the league and finished the Summer Split with 13-1 record in first place which meant qualification for the promotion tournament. Before the Spring Promotion Canyon was signed as a new jungler but did not play yet. Damwon won round 1 against bbq Olivers slow but convincingly 2-0 before winning the first qualifying round against Team BattleComics in dominating 3-1 fashion.
At the 2018 LoL KeSPA Cup Canyon made his debut in the round 1 victory against challenger team Brion Blade before playing all 3 games in the 2-1 victory against amateur team Seoul in round 2. After the success Griffin had the split before Damwon gained some attention by beating the newly formed superroster of SK Telecom T1 in quarterfinals 2-1 but were absolutely destroyed by Griffin in semifinals.
2019 Season[]
Damwon trusted the roster after qualifying for LCK and showing up at KeSPA Cup and only signed AD carry sub Aries during offseason. After somewhat surprisingly beating both KT Rolster and Gen.G in week 1 DAMWON lost their next 4 series. These were against the teams that were on the top 4 positions after 3 weeks though and they recovered well from it with 6 wins in a row during which they picked up legendary toplaner Flame. After losing against 3 of those 4 again they finished a consistent Spring Split in 5th place with a 11-7 record. Into playoffs they went as complete underdog as they had lost 7/8 series against the other participants. After surprisingly beating SANDBOX Gaming in the wildcard round they got very quickly clean swept by Kingzone DragonX.
In Summer Split Damwon had a bad start losing both matches in week 1 but went on a tear afterwards in which they won all matches until Rift Rivals. There they stayed undefeated against EVOS Esports, Top Esports and JD Gaming winning the tournament with the other participating LCK teams. After Rift Rivals other teams caught up a bit again and Damwon lost a few more series but ultimately managed to end regular season in 2nd place tied in match wins with Griffin which secured them a place in semifinals. There they had to face SKT who just clean sweeped Sandbox and continued their run against Damwon. From behind in the first two games Damwon looked for a desperation fight in early late game but not only lost the game to Khan split pushing into their base but also lost the final fights despite having numbers advantage. Mentally down from these they were stomped in game 3 which meant Damwon was only left with one last chance at Worlds as they went into Regional Finals as 1st seed. In the final they faced KZ who went all the way up from 4th seed. Damwon showed pretty good early games but did not manage to close the games out as well as they would have liked which caused the series to go to game 5 in which they snowballed another good early game into a dominant victory to take the series 3-2 and represent Korea at the 2019 Season World Championship as Korea's 3rd seed.
In Play-Ins they were drawn into Group C with Brazil’s Flamengo and Turkey’s Royal Youth. Despite struggling a bit in game 1 they went 4-0 in their group and faced Vietnam's second seed Lowkey Esports in Round 2. They lost game 1 in the late game before performing to expectations and dominated the next 3 games to move on to the main event where they were drawn into group D with LCS 1st seed Team Liquid, defending world champions and LPL 3rd seed Invictus Gaming and LMS 2nd seed ahq. DAMWON won both of their games against Invictus Gaming and ahq, going 1-1 with Team Liquid. This would secure DAMWON the first seed from Group D, advancing to the quarterfinals alongside iG. There they were drawn against reigning MSI champions G2 Esports who showed lived up to expectations themselves and overall won the series dominantly 3-1 to end Damwon's season.
During the off-season coach Kim left the team while the contracts of Flame, ShowMaker and Canyon were extended/renewed. Zefa was signed as a new coach.
2020 Season[]
Despite keeping their roster the 2019 LoL KeSPA Cup was disappointing as they were clean swept in quarterfinals by the new young roster of DragonX. Nonetheless the start into LCK Spring Split went as expected with 2 wins and 2 losses against top teams but after that Damwon did not manage to show constant performances during the first half of the split and found themselves at 4-5 barely in playoff positions. Following a break due to the 2019–20 Coronavirus Pandemic and a switch to online play they lost another two series against an inform KT Rolster and Gen.G. After they already had to move Zefa to interim head coach earlier in the split because Owner and head coach Micro left they now matched BeryL with new signing Ghost in bot lane which lead to their first successful run of the split with 4 clean 2-0 victories including beating T1 convincingly. Despite being upset by Griffin in week 8 they secured the last playoff slot as neither they nor Afreeca managed to beat DragonX. In the wildcard match they kept the upper hand in a close match against KT to face DragonX in round 1. After getting destroyed in the first two games they fought back with a convincing game 3 before securing a decider game with a backdoor in game 4. In game 5 they got dominated once again though which meant the end of their split.
Due to the 2020 COVID19 epidemic the Mid-Season Invitational was replaced by the 2020 Mid-Season Cup, an international event between the Spring and Summer split. The top 4 teams from China and Korea were invited to this event. Damwon's 4th place finish in the Spring playoffs secured them a spot at the Mid-Season Cup. At the Mid-Season Cup, they were seeded into the group stage alongside T1, Top Esports and FunPlus Phoenix. Damwon managed to beat their fellow Korean team T1, but fell to Top Esports and FunPlus Phoenix and ultimately finished the tournament in 6-5th place after finishing 3rd in their group.
During the LCK Summer Split, Damwon absolutely dominated the LCK and after dropping only two series to DRX and Gen G in the first round robin, Damwon went on a near-perfect 9-0 streak in the second round robin of the regular season, dropping only a single game in the process. Their dominant record of 16-2 with a 34-5 game record secured them the first seed and a direct bye into the grand finals. This was also the first time in a single LCK split a team had recorded a 100% winrate on one side (Blue) of Summoner's Rift. In the grand final of the LCK Summer Split Playoffs, Damwon faced second seed DRX. Some predicted a close match, but Damwon absolutely obliterated DRX in a 3-0 stomp and won the LCK Summer Split, winning their first ever LCK title and securing the first seed from Korea going into the 2020 World Championship
At the World Championship, DAMWON were placed in Group B alongside JD Gaming, Rogue, and PSG Talon. DAMWON went 5-1 in the group stage, dropping their only game vs JD Gaming and advancing to the quarterfinals, where they met DRX in a rematch of the Summer LCK Finals. DAMWON quickly dispatched DRX 3-0 in the quarterfinals, gearing up for a rematch against G2 Esports in the semifinals. After going back in forth in Game 1 & 2 against G2, DWG retook the lead in Game 3 and broke the record for fastest game in Worlds history vs G2 in Game 4, securing themselves a spot in the World Championship Final. In the final, they met Suning from the LPL, who had eliminated the #1 and #2 seeds from China. DAMWON managed to win a close Game 1, but then dropped Game 2 to Suning. They retook the lead in another close game in Game 3, before stomping Suning in Game 4 and winning the series, as well as the entire tournament. This meant that DAMWON would become the first Korean world champions since 2017.
