In the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 23rd, Dplus KIA defeated BNK FEARX 2-1. With this win, Dplus KIA reached 9 victories, officially securing their spot in the 'Road to MSI' and moving one step closer to the Legend Group. Conversely, BNK FEARX has been confirmed for the Rise Group.

Early in Game 1, Dplus KIA led the laning phase in the top and mid lanes, widening the CS gap. BNK FEARX showed resilience by securing kills and stealing a dragon, but they surrendered the initiative after losing a teamfight over the Rift Herald. 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok’s Jarvan IV performed exceptionally well, initiating the fight and stealing the Herald simultaneously. Dplus KIA continued to pressure BNK FEARX through side-lane operations, utilizing 'Siwoo' Jeon Si-woo’s Gnar and 'ShowMaker' Heo Su’s Ryze.

Around the 27-minute mark, 'ShowMaker' secured a solo kill against 'VicLa' Lee Dae-kwang’s Orianna while pushing the top lane. The reward was Baron. With the Baron buff, Dplus KIA pressured all three lanes simultaneously, and Ryze and Jarvan IV caught out 'Taeyoon' Kim Tae-yoon’s Lucian, who was defending the mid lane alone. With a numerical advantage, Dplus KIA destroyed all three inhibitors and pushed forward relentlessly to destroy the Nexus and take Game 1.

BNK FEARX took Game 2. Despite falling behind early after giving up three kills to an aggressive bottom-lane dive by Dplus KIA, they rallied behind 'Raptor' Jeon Eo-jin’s Lee Sin, who found success in the top side of the map. The turning point came around the 20-minute mark when Lee Sin pulled off a superplay, kicking 'Smash' Shin Geum-jae’s fed Ezreal into the enemy team. BNK FEARX secured Baron, successfully flipped the momentum, and calmly snowballed their lead to close out the game.

In the decisive third game, Dplus KIA took the early lead. Drafting Viktor and Jayce for their top side, Dplus KIA utilized 'Career' Oh Hyeong-seok’s Poppy and 'Lucid's Skarner to score consecutive kills in bottom-lane skirmishes. They also monopolized the Voidgrubs, dragons, and the Rift Herald. BNK FEARX responded by focusing on 'Siwoo's Jayce, allowing 'Clear' Song Hyeon-min’s Yorick to grow and reclaim side-lane priority. Although Yorick was caught out once, the main squad managed to take down 'ShowMaker's Viktor and reset the dragon stack.

The two teams traded blows in a fierce battle thereafter. BNK FEARX repeatedly forced chaotic fights to destabilize Dplus KIA, and around the 28-minute mark, they caught out the Skarner and headed for Baron. However, during a moment of hesitation, Dplus KIA regrouped, rushed to the Baron pit, secured an Ace, and stole the Baron. Dplus KIA then charged straight into the top lane, ending the match in one final push.
