DWG KIA (DK) announced to swap positions of 2 players from the DK and DK Challengers lineup to create new factors for the upcoming matches.
Accordingly, top laner DK Burdol will play for the youth team (DK Challengers) and player Bible in the youth team will take on the role of backup support for DK. Most likely, Bible replaced Kellin in the last 4 matches of the second leg of the LCK group stage. The LCK 2 champion in the 2021 season at this time is only ranked 3rd, almost standing on the sidelines in the race to compete for the top 1 position and even potentially breaking out of the top 6, not qualifying for the playoffs. .
This decision of the DK team’s leadership is quite understandable, because DK’s top lane has been controlled by player Nuguri throughout the past season and has successfully completed the task of laning as well as coordinating with teammates. Nuguri played better than Burdol in the spring and during practice it was easy for the coaching staff to see who should be the main player. Therefore, letting Burdol compete in the Challengers is good for him personally and for the team.
When Burdol left, DK had a spare position left, the one chosen as Bible was the support in the youth team. Many LoL viewers who heard this news were quite regretful, because they thought that DK should replace the deokdam AD carry position instead of the support position. The deokdam player has been underperforming recently in the spring or early summer weeks. The performance of the deokdam marksman made DK noticeably weaker from laning to teamfights.
However, deokdam can’t be blamed alone, because the two core positions in DK are Canyon, ShowMaker also competed in clear performance. Canyon no longer competes on the head of a colleague on the other side of the front line, Canyon no longer has the moves, handling as many IQs as before. And ShowMaker has become the Laugh Show as the audience mocked, he is no longer the team bearer for the team, weak competition, losing himself is what ShowMaker has shown recently.

Perhaps at this moment DK can’t find a better ADC than deokdam and the rest of the positions, although they are in decline, are much better than the personnel that DK has in hand. After all, a Bible sub as a support could bring a breath of fresh air to DK.
Bible has a lot of battle experience, high achievement, enough quality to compete in the LCK. This player has won the KeSPA Cup 2021 and LCK CL Spring 2022. In the LCK CL Summer Split, Bible used 12 champions out of a total of 28 games he played. Bible is proficient in all 3 groups of champions, which are initiating combat, buffing, and parrying. Hopefully Bible will work hard to roam, use Yuumi in combination with the Canyon jungler to hold assassin champions to gank all over the map like Yuumi + Talon, Yuumi + Hecarim, then DK will play better.
Before the second leg of the group stage ends, DK will face Gen.G, T1 on August 5 and August 13, respectively, in the 2nd match of the day. Remember to watch and see if DK’s personnel change in the sprint will bring any positive changes to the team.
