Right in the transfer season, Sports Director kkOma and 2 players Nuguri and Burdol expired their contracts and parted with DWG KIA.
At the last Worlds 2022, it can be said that DWG KIA tried their best when fighting Gen.G Esports until the 5th game in the Quarterfinals. However, DK still did not win and stopped in the top 5-8 of the tournament.
Before that, many people believed that Nuguri would come back and play for DK for many years to come. But recently, not only Nuguri but also Burdol and kkOma have parted ways with this team.
Joined DWG KIA as a coach but kkOma left the team as Sports Director.
“DK announces that the contract with Sports Director Kim ‘kkOma’ Jeong-gyun has expired. DK will cherish every moment with Director kkOma and wish him the best of luck in the future. Thank you…” – DK announced the farewell to kkOma after many years of working together.
In the past, coach kkOma led DK to the LCK Spring 2021 championship, along with the runner-up title at MSI and Worlds 2021. But after he became the Director and gave the coach seat to someone else. , DK has encountered various problems and lost its 2021 form. Therefore, many people are very curious about the next role that kkOma will take on in his career.
DK bid farewell to Nuguri – one of the key players who helped this team win the 2020 World Championship.
“Nuguri became a free agent. We would like to express our infinite gratitude to Nuguri for taking care of DK in 2022. We hope that Nuguri will meet many good things in the future. Thank.” – DK broke up with Nuguri.
With the split of both Nuguri and Burdol, DK’s top lane is left empty.
“Burdol became a free agent. We would like to thank Burdol for accompanying DK in 2022 and DK will not forget the journey that we went through together. DK will support Burdol in finding new challenges. Thank.” – DK broke up with Burdol.
Immediately after parting with 3 names kkOma with Nuguri and Burdol, DK suddenly announced goodbye to both head coach Daeny and coach Zefa.
Similar to the names above, Daeny and Zefa’s contract with DK has also expired and will leave this team after a year of attachment. In the farewell post, DK also sent these two coaches best wishes and hoped that both of them would achieve success in the future.
Currently, the remaining players of DK have contracts until November 2023, so it is highly likely that DK will recruit new top laners to complete the lineup for the next season. As for the coaching staff, currently DK does not have any names, so it is highly likely that this team will rush to recruit a coach in the coming days.
