In the second round of the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season held at LoL PARK in Jonggak on the 15th, Hanwha Life defeated Dplus KIA 2-0.

Early in the game, 'Siwoo's' Irelia aggressively initiated a fight at level 4, but 'Zeus'' Sion handled it calmly to secure the kill. DK managed to respond in the bottom lane, where 'Keria's' Seraphine took down 'Gumayusi's' Caitlyn. However, Hanwha Life's 'Delight,' playing Karma, rotated to the top lane to hand Irelia her second death.

DK continued to target the bottom lane, repeatedly focusing on Caitlyn to bring her to 0/4/0 by the 11-minute mark. Conversely, Hanwha Life pressured the top lane, repeatedly catching Irelia, and also took down 'ShowMaker's' Zyra in the mid lane. Later, Hanwha Life attempted to invade the enemy jungle, resulting in their Lee Sin being caught and forcing the Flash spells of their Orianna and Karma. DK capitalized on this, with a well-fed 'Lucid' on Jarvan leading bold engagements alongside the bottom lane to build a lead.

Hanwha Life caught Jarvan near the Baron pit and immediately started the objective at the 20-minute mark. Hanwha Life secured the Baron, and in the ensuing teamfight, they scored multiple kills led by Sion, successfully turning the gold deficit around. This fight also allowed Caitlyn, who had a rough start, to recover, while 'Siwoo's' Irelia fell to 0/7/0, putting her in a dire situation.

Hanwha Life then blocked the enemy's path and hunted the Baron again. DK, however, executed a clean teamfight victory with well-coordinated ultimates from Seraphine and Zyra. They took down the seemingly impenetrable Sion and secured the Dragon, reclaiming the gold lead. Most notably, 'Smash's' Ashe continued to pick up kills, growing significantly and creating a massive damage gap against Caitlyn. Hanwha Life eventually caught Irelia in a side lane and secured the Baron. They caught Irelia again in the top lane to suppress the opposition, destroying DK's Nexus at 37 minutes.

In Game 2, Hanwha Life's 'Zeka's' Cassiopeia secured the first blood against 'ShowMaker's' Twisted Fate. Although Hanwha Life caught the Twisted Fate again, DK found a kill in the top lane, and 'Keria's' Lulu rotated to the mid lane at the right moment, creating a significant advantage through effective aggro-ping-pong.

DK maintained their momentum by consistently picking up small advantages, but the situation flipped as Hanwha Life won consecutive teamfights. Although 'Zeka's' Cassiopeia was caught and killed in the top lane, Hanwha Life won the subsequent fight in front of the Baron and secured the objective. Ultimately, Hanwha Life pushed straight through the mid lane to secure the win in 25 minutes, defeating DK 2-0.
