Nongshim surprises struggling DWG KIA in 2022 LCK Spring Split

Nongshim Redforce Defeats DWG KIA in Thrilling Match

In a highly-anticipated match in the 2022 LCK Spring Split, Nongshim Redforce emerged victorious against league favorites DWG KIA. Throughout the series, Nongshim demonstrated exceptional skill and coordination, particularly in the mid and late game.

DWG KIA tried various strategies and even made substitutions, including bringing in top laner Burdol. However, their efforts were not enough to overcome Nongshim’s dominance.

This strategic adjustment allowed them to gain an edge over DWG KIA. Notably, deokdam showcased his exceptional skills with his signature pick Aphelios.

Nongshim’s Superior Gameplay

This advantage enabled Nongshim to snowball their way to victory. Although there was a slight slowdown during the mid game, Nongshim closed out the match by utilizing their Baron buff at the 39-minute mark.

DWG KIA Struggles

While DWG KIA started the 2022 LCK Spring Split with a strong victory over KT Rolster, they have been facing difficulties in finding their playstyle and maintaining cohesion in the league. New top laner Hoya has been underperforming and heavily focused by opponents, as seen in their loss to Gen.G and Nongshim. It remains uncertain if the team will continue with substitutions throughout the season.

DWG KIA’s next match is against Fredit BRION on Saturday, Jan. 22, while Nongshim Redforce will face KT Rolster on Friday, Jan. 21, with hopes to extend their win streak.
