Stripped of its title during the Spring Split, DWG KIA has decided to make a change to its roster. The 2020 world champion structure has just formalized the return of Nuguri.
It was a rumor for several days, it is now official. After a competitive break since the beginning of the year, Jang “Nuguri” Ha-gwon returns to competition at DWG KIA. It is a structure that he knows well since he evolved there between 2017 and 2020. From Challengers Korea to an LCK champion title and especially a world champion title, Nuguri rose to prominence as a dominating top laner capable of single-handedly winning a game.
This return is rather positive for the structure which had difficulties during the Spring Split failing in third place in LCK. If DWG KIA made several changes during the winter transfer window, some do not seem to take and especially on the side of the toplane. Alternating between Noh “Burdol” Tae-yoon and Yoon “Hoya” Yong-ho, both players showed shortcomings against many toplaners and in particular against that of T1, Choi “Zeus” Woo-i.
On the other hand, Nuguri’s current level is questionable since he has not played for six months in competition and has not been sparkling at FunPlus Phoenix in 2021. However, it is certain that if he manages to find his level and the cohesion he had with Kim “Canyon” Geon-bu and Heo “ShowMaker” Su, DWG KIA will be a serious candidate for the LCK title but also for the title of world champion 2022.
