On the 20th, Hanwha Life Esports defeated Dplus KIA 2-0 in Round 4 of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) at the ChZZK LoL Park in Jonggak, keeping their hopes alive for first place.

In Game 1, Siwoo's Olaf and Zeus's Camille fought fiercely in the top lane right from Level 1. Camille pushed Olaf back, but Olaf reached Level 2 first to secure first blood on Camille. Shortly after, Hanwha Life responded during a big wave crash as Ryze and Lee Sin joined to cleanly execute Olaf, while DK answered in the bottom lane as Smash's Yunara secured a kill on Gumayusi's Ziggs.

Both teams traded kills centered around the top and bottom lanes, maintaining a tight contest. After eliminating Olaf and taking the Rift Herald, Hanwha Life greedily contested the Dragon as well. Unwilling to yield the Dragon, DK engaged in a teamfight where Yunara scored a triple kill, completely taking control of the game for DK. By the 18-minute mark, the gold difference between Gumayusi's Ziggs and Smash's Yunara widened to 3,000.

Riding Yunara's power, DK targeted the next Dragon. Hanwha Life countered by bringing in their well-scaled Camille, who joined Ryze in shutting down Yunara to win the teamfight. Hanwha Life then moved to Baron, but Lucid's Jarvan IV managed a Baron steal. Ultimately, the crucial challenge for Hanwha Life remained how to stop Yunara.

Hanwha Life picked off TF in the top lane and headed to Dragon, while DK overextended by trying to hold it with four players and suffered heavy losses, allowing Hanwha Life to slay Baron. Camille then killed Olaf, and Hanwha Life emerged victorious in a mid-lane teamfight. Securing the final teamfight by cleanly targeting Yunara, Hanwha Life won to claim Game 1.

In Game 2, DK struck first with a three-man dive in the bottom lane to eliminate Delight's Seraphine, while Gumayusi's Ashe caught Career's Shen. DK then put pressure on the Voidgrubs with Smash's Mel, but Hanwha Life ended up winning the teamfight instead. With Zeka's Orianna claiming multiple kills in the bottom lane, Hanwha Life accumulated two Dragon stacks and a 3,000 gold advantage in just 13 minutes.

However, the game turned strange as DK picked off Zeus's Yorick and Kanavi's Naafiri in the bottom lane, while Siwoo's Jayce solo-killed Zeka's Orianna in the top lane. Amidst continued back-and-forth action, Wukong secured the Dragon during a fight at the Dragon pit, but Hanwha Life won the teamfight and took Baron.

Although Hanwha Life lost Naafiri, they shut down Jayce in the top lane using Ashe's ultimate and caught Shen as a bonus to destroy the top Inhibitor. However, DK scored a massive victory in the next Dragon teamfight with a fantastic performance, bringing the Dragon count to 3-3. Nevertheless, Hanwha Life ultimately picked off Shen, secured Baron, and destroyed the DK Nexus to complete a 2-0 sweep.
