Dplus KIA swept HANJIN BRION 2-0 on Thursday, April 23, pushing DK to 5-3 in League of Legends Champions Korea play. (youtube.com) (lol.fandom.com) The match was played in Week 4 of the 2026 LCK regular season, the first stage of a double round robin where all 10 teams play best-of-three series. DK entered the day fourth at 4-3, while BRION were ninth at 1-6. (youtube.com) (lol.fandom.com) Community reaction centered on ShowMaker, DK’s mid laner, after post-match ratings shared by Hupu Esports put him at the top of the vote. The same ratings showed every BRION starter below 4 out of 10. (x.com) That result fits the standings picture in Korea right now. The top six teams from Rounds 1-2 advance to Road to MSI, and DK’s win kept them in the middle of that race while BRION stayed near the bottom. (lol.fandom.com) The 2026 LCK format also raises the stakes on every regular-season series. Teams are split into Legend and Rise groups for the next phase based on these spring results, so a clean 2-0 carries more weight than a narrow win in the table. (lol.fandom.com) ShowMaker remains the best-known name on this DK roster. Liquipedia lists Heo “ShowMaker” Su as a world champion with DAMWON Gaming in 2020 and a Dplus player continuously since December 2021. (liquipedia.net) DK had already shown they could beat top teams this month, with Liquipedia listing April wins over Gen.G on April 11 and T1 on April 17 before the BRION series on April 23. The BRION sweep extended that run with a second straight series victory. (liquipedia.net) For BRION, the loss added to a slide that left them 1-7 in series after the update. For DK, it was another straightforward result in a season where ShowMaker is still the player most fans look to first when the team takes control of a match. (lol.fandom.com) (x.com)
