After MSI 2022 ended, it was time for players to take a short break before the 2022 Summer Split officially kicks off. This is also a lively ranking period as players need to quickly regain their competitive rhythm and adapt to the new meta in preparation for the upcoming journey. One of the teams that is climbing the ranks intensely is DWG KIA. Among its members, ShowMaker stands out the most.
A few days ago, people discovered that ShowMaker was climbing the ranks “insanely” to the point where two accounts made it into the top 10 of the Korean rankings. Among them, DK’s main Mid account topped the chart while the secondary account ranked 8th. Additionally, Canyon – DK’s Jungle player also made it to the top 3 (as of that time). It’s clear that the key members of DK are taking their preparation for the upcoming Summer Split very seriously.
As for ShowMaker, he definitely wants to reclaim his lost glory. Moreover, ShowMaker admits he is ready to learn from the strengths of his opponents. “When G2 Esports defeated us in the quarterfinals of Worlds 2019, I learned from CaPs’ playstyle afterward. Then when FunPlus Phoenix beat G2, I wanted to adopt Doinb’s style. But Doinb’s playstyle is too difficult to learn. Perhaps it’s too ‘unorthodox.’ Like when he uses Malphite or Kled mid. But still, I managed to pick up some useful tips.”

It can be seen that ShowMaker is always learning from his mistakes and wants to adopt the strengths of his opponents. Among those who have defeated DK’s player, many names have become legends in the League of Legends scene, like Faker, CaPs, or Doinb… Following the defeat in LCK Spring 2022, it can be said that DK and ShowMaker will study T1 closely and are filled with intentions of revenge in the new season.
