Hanwha Life Esports Brion defeated BNK FEARX 2-0 in the Rise Group match of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season, held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 7th. With this victory, Hanwha Life Esports Brion surpassed BNK FEARX to take first place in the Rise Group.

In Game 1, Hanjin BRION gained an early advantage centered around 'Romer' Jo Woo-jin's Rourke. 'Romer' created effective plays with roams to the top lane and grew rapidly after securing a double kill during a Dragon teamfight. However, BNK FEARX showed resilience, aggressively initiating fights to feed kills to 'Taeyoon' Kim Tae-yoon's Jhin, keeping their hopes alive.

As the teams traded kills, BNK FEARX began to tip the scales after catching 'Kellin' Kim Hyeong-gyu's Shen and following up with three additional kills. Although they were momentarily set back by a stolen Dragon Soul, they baited Hanjin BRION into a Baron fight, where they secured a massive victory and seized full control of the game's momentum.

After securing the Ocean Soul, BNK FEARX pushed toward the top lane. Hanjin BRION, however, looked for one final strike. A teamfight broke out following an engage by 'Gideon' Kim Min-sung's Lee Sin, and Camille made a surprise appearance from the flank to catch Jhin. Rourke then dove in, sweeping up kills starting with Jhin to secure a pentakill, allowing Hanjin BRION to end the game in one fell swoop.

Hanjin BRION took the lead early in Game 2 as well. 'Gideon's' Pantheon teamed up with 'Namgung's' Leona to pick up kills across the map, steadily stacking Dragons based on their jungle dominance. They also successfully countered BNK FEARX's initiations to turn the tide in their favor.

With a gold lead of over 3,000, Hanjin BRION widened the gap slowly but surely. They calmly handled a dangerous teamfight following a Baron burst, resulting in a 4-for-3 trade. Although BNK FEARX targeted and took down 'Teddy' Park Jin-sung's Kai'Sa to contest the Baron, Hanjin BRION's main force resisted fiercely, and a respawned Kai'Sa arrived like a hero to clean up the remaining kills.

Around the 35-minute mark, Hanjin BRION used Leona's initiation to instantly delete 'Taeyoon's' Ziggs. Led by Kai'Sa, they systematically eliminated the remaining BNK FEARX champions, secured an ace, and destroyed the Nexus to close out Game 2.
