DK vs. T1 – DK Secures Elder Group Victory in a Thrilling Series
The 2025 LCK Cup Day 2 delivered an unforgettable match as Dplus Kia (DK) edged out T1 in a close 2:1 series. With this victory, DK has secured a crucial win for the Elder Group, setting a strong tone for the season ahead.
Aiming’s Jinx Shines Bright
The star of the series was undoubtedly Aiming, whose performance on Jinx in the decisive Game 3 was nothing short of spectacular. Aiming’s precise positioning, flawless execution, and game-changing decisions earned him the Player of the Match title.
Gold King Legacy: Aiming was the 2024 Gold King, an honor given to the player who earned the most gold throughout the season. His ability to amass resources and translate them into impactful plays was once again on full display.
In Game 3, Aiming’s late-game dominance with Jinx carried DK to victory, proving why he remains one of the most reliable ADCs that carry the team in the LCK.
Keria’s Bard: Redemption or Irony?
T1’s support, Keria, brought out his iconic T1 Bard skin in Game 3, a moment that stirred memories of the 2022 Worlds Championship. Back then, Bard was wielded by DK’s current support, BeryL, in a legendary Game 5 win over T1.
While Keria’s Bard plays showcased his creativity and resilience, they couldn’t overcome DK’s well-rounded strategy and Aiming’s unstoppable Jinx.
The matchup between Keria and BeryL added an extra layer of narrative to this intense series.
Seeing Keria pull out the T1 Bard skin was an instant fan-favorite moment. It wasn’t just about his gameplay—it was a playful nod to his cheeky comment from the past:
"뒤에서 보면 살찐 럭스."
(Translation: "From behind, Bard looks like a chubby Lux.")
ShowMaker’s Ahri and Doran’s Debut

For T1, Doran made his debut in LCK Cup as the team’s new top laner. While the team showed flashes of brilliance, it’s evident that T1 is still in the process of refining their synergy and strategies with their new roster.
Key Takeaways from the Series
DK’s Momentum: With this win, DK takes an early lead in the Elder Group standings, setting themselves up as a top contender this season.
T1’s Growing Pains: Despite moments of brilliance, T1’s struggles to close out games highlighted the adjustments needed to reach their full potential.
Aiming’s Statement Game: His standout performance on Jinx reaffirms his place as one of the LCK’s premier ADCs.
