The Group Stage of Worlds 2022 brings forth a remarkable new rivalry in modern League

JD Gaming and DWG KIA: A Thrilling Rivalry at Worlds 2022

This year’s League of Legends World Championship has witnessed an intense matchup between China’s JD Gaming and Korea’s DWG KIA. After their three games, fans are eager to see them face off again in the future.

Impressive Beginnings

The potential for an exciting rivalry between JD Gaming and DWG KIA can be traced back to their first meeting in 2020. JD Gaming was one of the few teams to defeat DWG KIA in that year’s World Championship, setting the stage for their future clashes on the international stage.

Rivalry Intensifies in 2022

In this year’s tournament, JDG and DWG KIA faced each other once again in the group stage. Their matches were highly competitive and filled with action, capturing the attention of viewers. Their tiebreaker game, in particular, stood out with its high kill count and thrilling team fights.

Stats Highlight the Intensity

Across all their games, JDG and DWG KIA have consistently delivered thrilling performances, averaging a high number of kills per game. In fact, they have never had fewer than 27 combined kills in a single match. Their aggressive playstyle and desire for bloodshed have made their matchups must-watch events.

A Promising Future

If JDG and DWG KIA continue to perform at this level, we can expect to see more clashes between these two teams in the future. While they still have a long way to go to match the rivalries accumulated by teams like T1/Edward Gaming and Royal Never Give Up/Fnatic, JDG and DAMWON are quickly establishing themselves as a fierce rivalry in the League of Legends scene.

And as fans, we can’t help but be excited about the possibility of more epic showdowns between these two powerhouses.


JD Gaming will face Rogue in the quarterfinals on Thursday, Oct. 16, while DWG KIA will take on Gen.G on Saturday, Oct. 18.
