Dplus KIA has secured a spot in the quarterfinals of EWC 2026 as the second seed in their group. This achievement comes after a decisive 2-0 victory over G2 Esports in the final match of the Round of 16, which took place at the Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in France on the 16th. Despite a challenging start with a loss to AGAL in their opening match, DK managed to overcome the setback and advance to the next stage.
Following the match, ‘ShowMaker’ Heo Su shared his thoughts on reaching the quarterfinals: “Although we had a rough start, I am thrilled that we managed to progress, and I am determined to go as far as we can.” Reflecting on facing G2’s ‘Caps’ after a long time, he mentioned, “While I did have a showdown with ‘Caps,’ the outcome was heavily influenced by our team’s strategic movements rather than individual performance in the mid lane.”
DK is now set to take on BLG in the quarterfinals. When asked about the upcoming match against such a formidable opponent, ‘ShowMaker’ expressed his excitement, stating, “I am looking forward to the challenge, especially facing ‘knight’ again after a considerable time. I am focused on giving my best to secure a victory and ultimately aim for the championship.” Addressing the recent wage arrears issue that has been making headlines in Korea, a Dplus KIA representative declined to comment, urging understanding from concerned fans.
Concluding the interview, ‘ShowMaker’ expressed gratitude towards the fans, promising to give his all to reach the championship as they have successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
