Six Months Ago, DAMWON Gaming Made a Remarkable Turnaround
DAMWON Gaming, once a mediocre team in the LCK, surprised everyone with their impressive performance in the Summer Split. From being a middle-of-the-road team, they quickly became a threat both domestically and internationally. Despite their defeat in the Spring Playoffs, they showed tremendous growth and potential.
In the Summer Split, DWG had an outstanding record of 51-8, solidifying their position as one of the strongest teams in the Korean region. This record was further exceeded by their remarkable World Championship run, where they outperformed all expectations.
Overcoming Past Challenges to Achieve Victory
DWG had to confront their past demons during their journey to the top. They defeated DRX in the quarterfinals, a team that had previously eliminated them in the Spring Playoffs. They also breezed past G2 Esports, the team that knocked them out of Worlds 2019, in the semifinals. DWG sought redemption and vengeance against every team that stood in their way.
The ultimate test came in the final round against Suning, a team from the LPL. This victory restored the LCK’s dominance in the international scene after two consecutive years of absence in the Worlds finals.
An Unprecedented Run Towards Victory
DWG’s dominance throughout the 2020 season cannot be denied. With a final game record of 51 wins in their last 59 matches and a 14-3 record at the World Championship, they have secured their place in history as one of the greatest teams to win Worlds. Only the 2015 SKT team had a higher win percentage.
Nuguri, one of DWG’s players, emphasized their continuous improvement throughout the season, which is evident in their impressive win rate. The team never slowed down and constantly pushed themselves to become better.
A Dynasty in the Making
Looking ahead, DWG has the potential to dominate not only the LCK but the entire world of professional League of Legends. With star players like Nuguri, Canyon, and ShowMaker, they have the foundation for long-term success. However, the organization will need to make efforts to retain their key players and build upon their historic victory.
While challenges lie ahead for DWG, their potential is unmatched by any other team. The question for 2021 is not whether they can repeat as world champions, but who can actually stop them from achieving greatness once again.
After today’s victory, it is clear that DWG has the capability to maintain their dominance in the upcoming year. With their groundbreaking results and a solid roster, we may witness DWG lifting the Summoner’s Cup once again in the future.
