G2 Esports vs Dplus KIA Prediction 23 October 2026
π G2 Esports and Dplus KIA are set to clash in the opening round of the Swiss stage at the League of Legends World Championship. The matchup will be decided in a best-of-one format, meaning a single game will determine who comes out on top. The European squad arrive at the tournament on the back of a strong LEC campaign, while the Korean side are eager to prove their regionβs pedigree on the world stage. In their last two head-to-head meetings, both teams have claimed a win apiece: G2 Esports prevailed at Worlds 2023, while Dplus KIA took their revenge at the Esports World Cup 2026. Bookmakers rate their chances as fairly even, adding extra intrigue to this highly anticipated showdown.
G2 Esports Team Overview
G2 Esports closed out their European campaign with a three-game winning streak. In their most recent outing, they swept Movistar KOI 3-0, following earlier victories over Karmine Corp (3-1) and Team Vitality (3-0). Before that, G2 suffered defeats to GIANTX (1-2) and Fnatic (0-2), so they've taken three wins from their last five matches. Key players like BrokenBlade, SkewMond, Caps, Hans Sama, and Labrov bring valuable experience from major tournaments.

Dplus KIA Team Overview
Dplus KIA head into Worlds after a challenging end to their campaign in the Korean LCK. In their most recent outing, they fell 1-3 to T1, snapping a two-match winning streak. Prior to that, the Korean side claimed victories over KT Rolster (3-1) and BNK FEARX (3-2), and also managed to edge out Gen.G (2-1). In total, Dplus KIA have won three of their last five matches, proving they can compete with top-tier opposition. However, the squad have lost all of their last seven best-of-one encounters, raising concerns about their consistency in shorter formats.

βοΈ Editorβs Prediction
We suggest backing G2 Esports to win. The European side closed out the season with three straight victories, including two sweeps where they didnβt drop a single map. Adding to their case is Dplus KIAβs rough patch-theyβve lost their last seven best-of-1 matches. G2 Esports also defeated the Korean squad at the 2023 World Championship, although they did fall 0-2 to them in July this year. Given G2βs strong form and Dplus KIAβs struggles in short-format matchups, weβre tipping G2 Esports to come out on top.
