LCK Team Records a “Forgettable” Performance
At the start of this season, DNS made some minor roster changes by adding the 2025 Worlds runner-up bot lane duo Deokdam and Peter. With these changes, fans naturally expected positive results. Even without aiming for titles, this lineup was expected to deliver impactful plays. However, up to now, DNS holds the record for the longest losing streak in LCK history.
Specifically, since their 2-0 win over KRX in the first half of LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2, DNS has lost 12 consecutive matches, all with a 0-2 scoreline. This translates into 24 straight game losses without a single comeback after falling behind. This surpasses the previous record of 22 consecutive game losses held by Jin Air Green Wings. Even DRX during their last-place slump did not suffer as badly as DNS.
DNS’s Chances of Turning the Season Around Are Slim
Currently, even teams considered “easy opponents” like BRO and KRX are putting up notable performances. BRO is on a short winning streak and sitting mid-table, while KRX recently snagged a game win against HLE. Opponents like NS and BNK, despite some inconsistency, remain too challenging for DNS at this time.
Therefore, the LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2 stage is effectively over for DNS. Their best hope now is to reset and try again from Rounds 3-4 onward, as their chance to qualify for the Road to MSI has already slipped away.
