Dplus KIA solidify third place in LCK

Dplus KIA defeated Liiv SANDBOX with the aid of an academy player, solidifying themselves as the sole team in third place in the 2023 LCK Summer Split. Unexpectedly, the squad decided to pit Liiv SANDBOX against Yoon "Bible" Seol of Dplus KIA Challengers. The 23-year-old had a few solo outings in the LCK in past splits, but he didn't have much prior experience in South Korea's top league.

Nevertheless, he performed admirably and enabled Dplus KIA to win handily by a score of 2-0. Although Bible's gameplay wasn't particularly noteworthy, Dplus KIA as a whole did a good job in their individual positions, capturing early leads and largely carrying them into late-game supremacy. However, the inexperienced backup held his ground, which allowed Deft to excel in the game's closing phases. Even more miraculously, the AD carry world champion defeated Elder Dragon-powered foes one-versus-four to win Dplus KIA game one.
