In the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 22nd, Kiwoom DRX defeated DN Supers 2-0, keeping their 'Road to MSI' hopes alive. Conversely, DN Supers remain mired in a grueling losing streak.

In Game 1, DN Spers' bottom duo, playing Lucian and Milio, secured first blood with a duo kill, but Kiwoom DRX’s counterattack was fierce. 'Andil' Moon Gwan-bin’s Bard roamed to the mid lane to set up a kill for 'Ucal' Son Woo-hyeon’s Cassiopeia, and the team successfully avenged their earlier bottom-lane deficit. 'Willer' Kim Jeong-hyeon’s Xin Zhao also provided support in the bottom lane. Kiwoom DRX ambushed DN Spers while they were taking the Rift Herald, trading kills 2-1 to widen the gap and successfully denying the objective.

With the momentum in their favor, Kiwoom DRX showed no hesitation. Ahead of the third dragon, they initiated a fight targeting 'Deokdam' Seo Dae-gil’s Lucian, winning the skirmish and securing their third dragon stack. Kiwoom DRX then baited DN Spers by starting Baron; they sacrificed only their Bard while taking down all three of the opponent's top-side players. After securing both Baron and the Chemtech Soul, their gold lead exceeded 10k. Kiwoom DRX closed out the first game without any surprises.

Kiwoom DRX’s momentum carried into Game 2. In a 4-on-4 skirmish sparked by a scuttle crab contest, Kiwoom DRX unilaterally picked up two kills. DN Spers caught a brief break when 'DuDu' Lee Dong-ju’s Ambessa secured a solo kill, but the situation in the bottom lane remained dire. DN Spers attempted to rotate their Ambessa to the bottom lane to bolster their team fighting, but Kiwoom DRX still came out on top in the ensuing engagement.

Around the 19-minute mark, before the fed Ambessa could join the fight for the dragon, Kiwoom DRX initiated and swept up three kills without losing a single player. The difference in focus was as stark as the difference in growth. By then, 'Willer's' Pantheon had already racked up 9 kills. Continuing their one-sided dominance, Kiwoom DRX easily secured Baron. The gap in growth was extreme, and it showed clearly in every fight. Ultimately, Kiwoom DRX ended the second game in 28 minutes, putting a definitive end to the series.
