Fans call “Dplus KIA” one of the worst name changes in the history of esports.
Recently, the DWG KIA team announced that it will officially “change its name” to become Dplus KIA in the next season of the LCK. And fans of the game LoL are not as excited about this decision as the organization had hoped.
Fans are constantly criticizing this organization’s name change on social networking sites such as Twitter or Reddit. They also confirmed that this was another failed name change of the organization. “The name of this organization is only getting worse and worse” – Comment at the top of the thread about “changing the name” of Dplus KIA on Reddit.
Fans criticize the new Dplus KIA name
Other Reddit users could not hide their disappointment at the new name of the DWG KIA organization.
“DWG KIA’s new name is terrible, so is their logo. I can’t help but like their new uniform.”
“This is probably the worst name change I’ve ever seen” – Fans decry DWG KIA’s new name
Most fans agree that DAMWON GAMING, the original name of this organization, has good brand recognition as well as uniqueness compared to other teams. Compared to the new Dplus KIA name, fans want this organization to be able to separate the word DAMWON to increase the brand identity of the team.
Not only Reddit, fans also expressed dissatisfaction with the new name – Dplus KIA on Twitter. In addition, they also emphasized why the organization removed the mint green color commonly found on the players’ uniforms – a color that has become an iconic part of Dplus KIA. Although there are a few people who show interest in the new outfit, they still think that this “last name change” of the organization is really bad. “This is probably the worst name change this season,” – a Reddit account shared.
