Hanwha Life Esports defeated Dplus KIA 2-0 in Round 4 of the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) on August 20 at Jonggak Chzzk LoL Park. On this day, 'Zeka' Kim Geon-woo played Ryze in Game 1 and Orianna in Game 2, anchoring the team and leading them to victory.

Regarding the long-awaited 2-0 victory, 'Zeka' Kim Geon-woo shared his thoughts: "We hadn't won 2-0 recently, so I'm happy to win with a clean score. While there were a few mistakes in-game, I'm satisfied that we effectively played to the strengths of our teamfight composition."

Explaining how they heavily targeted Yunara, the opponent's core pick in Game 1, he explained, "Since the opponent was built around Yunara, using Camille and Ryze created a setup where we could easily target Yunara even after clearing the front line." Regarding the close contest following a large early lead in Game 2, he said, "We built a huge lead from the laning phase by taking kills, but positioning mistakes during the bottom skirmish while holding 1,000 gold and during the dragon teamfight remain disappointing."

He also maintained a calm attitude regarding moments during the match where teammates got caught out or the snowballing was delayed. 'Zeka' stated, "There were regrettable mistakes that shouldn't have happened, but those are areas that can definitely be corrected," adding, "If we focus a bit more and make adjustments, it will improve."

He also shared his mindset ahead of the upcoming marathon schedule stretching from the LCK Playoffs to the Asian Games and on to the World Championship. He expressed confidence, saying, "This is the most crucial period when we must maintain peak form for the important tournaments following the end of the season. My form is definitely improving compared to early Rounds 3 and 4." He added his gratitude, stating, "Our agency, Shadow Corporation, is also providing full support so that I can focus solely on my matches, which is a great source of strength."

Finally, he expressed his determination: "Now only our final regular season match against T1 remains. We will finish with a good performance through the last game and show a much stronger side in the playoffs."
