Dplus KIA Extends Winning Streak to 4 Behind 'Lucid' and 'ShowMaker'

On the 30th, the match between BNK FearX and Dplus KIA for the first round of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season took place at LoL Park in Jonggak. Dplus KIA secured a 2-0 victory, led by the stellar performances of 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok and 'ShowMaker' Heo Su. With this win, Dplus KIA concludes the first round with a record of 6 wins and 3 losses.

The first set was the 'Lucid' Lee Sin show. While BNK FearX’s bot lane pressure created a gold gap between the AD carries, 'Lucid' broke their momentum with a lightning-fast gank that took down 'Slayer' Kim Jin-young’s Lucian. 'Lucid' continued to dominate, finding picks and using his ultimate to kick key enemy champions into unfavorable positions, leading his team to victory in team fights. His steal of the third dragon was also a highlight.

Around the 26-minute mark, BNK FearX finally caught 'Lucid' and breathed a sigh of relief. After taking down the bot lane duo, BNK FearX rushed to Baron, but were denied by the defensive efforts of 'ShowMaker' Heo Su’s Annie and 'Siwoo' Jeon Si-woo’s Jayce. Dplus KIA also survived a crisis when 'Smash' Shin Geum-jae’s Zeri was caught, thanks to 'Lucid' finishing off the enemy Lucian. Eventually, after a long standoff, Dplus KIA caught the enemy Lucian’s forward dash, secured an ace, and closed out the game.

Early in the second set, 'Siwoo' Jeon Si-woo’s Gnar successfully repelled a dive, and 'ShowMaker' Heo Su’s Ahri picked up a kill with a roam to the bot lane. BNK FearX responded by securing a 2-for-1 trade during a skirmish for Void Grubs. As the teams traded kills in a tense standoff, 'ShowMaker' pulled off a super play by assassinating 'Raptor' Jeon Eo-jin’s Xin Zhao, giving Dplus KIA a significant lead.

'ShowMaker's' dominance continued as he dashed in with lightning speed to take down 'Slayer's' Ezreal. Dplus KIA then took down 'Clear' Song Hyeon-min’s Ambessa and secured their third dragon. BNK FearX’s only hope was 'VicLa' Lee Dae-kwang’s Akali, but that hope was extinguished when 'Smash's' Ashe ultimate landed perfectly on the Akali, leading to a kill. With that, Dplus KIA took the second set and the series.
