ShowMaker's explosion led DK to the winner's group finals, aiming directly at the LCK championship

On February 16, the LCK Spring Season semifinals officially kicked off, with DK facing off against dark horse NS in the first match . After T1 was eliminated early, DK successfully advanced to the winner's bracket finals with a strong performance. The team's core player ShowMaker shined in this game, leading the team to a 3-1 victory over NS with an impeccable performance , showing the demeanor of a top LCK mid laner.

After Faker was eliminated, ShowMaker undoubtedly became the most dominant mid-lane player in the LCK region. In this game, he maintained 0 deaths in three wins and repeatedly made decisive plays in key team battles, showing a long-lost peak state. In contrast, NS mid-lane Fisher 's performance was obviously inferior, and he was completely suppressed by ShowMaker and failed to continue his highlight performance in the previous round.

In the first game, NS 's bottom lane combination failed to find its form, Lehends 's Titan failed to play its due role, and BeryL 's support Poppy established the advantage with accurate teamfighting. In the critical mid-term dragon fight, BeryL successfully wall-banged Kalista, cooperated with teammates to take down the dragon, and completely locked the victory.

Entering the second game, DK continued with a bold tactical system. ShowMaker took out the mid-lane tank Pantheon, with a similar play style to Doinb, and formed a strong lineup with jungler Lucid 's Lillia and top laner Siwoo 's Jax. In the crucial dragon team battle, Siwoo cut into the battlefield from behind, and Lucid seized the opportunity to complete a triple kill, helping DK establish a huge advantage and eventually win another game.

After leading 2-0, DK tried the " scientific research bureau " and selected a new combination of mid laner Time and support Shen. However, NS quickly adjusted its tactics and formed a global flow system with Galio, Nightmare, and Shen to frequently launch attacks, successfully defeating DK and winning back a game.

Entering the fourth game, DK resumed their serious mode. ShowMaker took out his signature mid-lane Ahri and killed Fisher in just two minutes. He then led the team to snowball. In the 20- minute key team battle, ShowMaker accurately focused his fire to kill Tsar, and DK took advantage of the situation to wipe out NS . In the end , they won the game with a score of 3-1 and advanced to the winner's group final.

In the post-match interview, ShowMaker said that his mid-lane Pantheon play style was inspired by Doinb , and emphasized that the current team atmosphere is very good. The former world champion mid-lane is now in good form, making DK one of the favorites to win the LCK this season .

At present, the most competitive teams in the LCK semi-finals are DK and HLE , and the two teams are very likely to meet in the finals. Although T1 is also strong, it was unfortunately eliminated by HLE in advance due to the competition system arrangement. For ShowMaker , this is his best chance to return to the top, aiming directly at the LCK championship.
