Hanwha Life Esports defeated BNK FEARX 2-0 in the second round of the 2026 LCK regular season at LoL PARK in Jonggak on the 21st, bringing their record to 13-2. This victory is particularly meaningful for Hanwha Life, as they fielded 2008-born rookie Park 'Bluffing' Gyu-yong instead of Yoo 'Delight' Hwan-joong.

Q. How do you feel about today's victory?

I'm relieved that we won 2-0 in my first match playing alongside 'Bluffing.'

Q. What was the reasoning behind 'Bluffing's' start

'Bluffing' is young, recently hit rank 1 in solo queue, and has strong mechanics. I think that's why he was chosen, and he showed those strengths well today.

Q. How was it playing together?

Honestly, there have been so many tournaments lately that we didn't have much time to practice. I think we were able to win today because our top-side players are just that talented.

Q. In Game 2, the opponent targeted the bottom lane aggressively. You died quite a few times—could you explain that situation?

Once a champion like Ashe dies once, it's easy to keep dying. The opponent's composition was also well-suited to exploit that. However, I felt it was okay because Ashe can still contribute in many ways even after dying repeatedly, and the gold given to the opponent isn't that significant.

Q. It seems that using the Rift Herald for crowd control (CC) in mid-game teamfights is crucial these days. It often shifts the tide of the game—what are your thoughts on this?

That happens a lot these days. Many teams use it to zone out the area before a teamfight starts. Everyone's 'driving' skills have improved, and it definitely helps a lot in teamfights.

Q. You're heading back to Vietnam at the end of June. Your last trip to Hanoi must have been too short—is there anything you want to do this time?

So many fans welcomed us that I'm looking forward to it again. When I was in Hanoi, I didn't have time to go swimming or even eat pho. If I go in June, I want to do both.

Q. Any final words for the fans?

There isn't much of the season left, but we will prepare well to finish in first place.
