In the 2026 LoL Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 3 Rise Group match held at LoL PARK in Jongno, Seoul, on the 9th, BNK FEARX defeated Kiwoom DRX 2-0. In Game 1, a 'joker pick' top-lane Nidalee proved effective, while in Game 2, 'Raptor' Jeon Eo-jin’s performance on Pantheon helped break through Kiwoom DRX’s persistent defense.

The first half of Game 1 was relatively quiet until a teamfight broke out at the Dragon pit, where BNK FEARX secured a massive advantage. 'Raptor' Jeon Eo-jin’s Nocturne won the Smite battle, and in the ensuing teamfight, 'Clear' Song Hyeon-min’s Nidalee drew the opponent's attention, leading his team to a decisive victory.

'Taeyoon' Kim Tae-yoon’s Lucian and 'Kellin' Kim Hyeong-gyu’s Milio created a highlight play by securing a double kill while surviving a 2v3 situation. BNK FEARX effectively sealed the win by taking down 'Willer' Kim Jeong-hyeon’s Jarvan IV and securing Baron. Lucian showcased an overwhelming presence, racking up 11 kills.

In the following second game, the Dragon pit once again became the turning point. BNK FEARX conceded the Dragon but used 'Raptor's' Pantheon ultimate skill to initiate a fight, picking up two kills. Later, when Kiwoom DRX dove deep to target 'Clear's' Renekton in the top lane, BNK FEARX chased them down and swept up four kills.

Kiwoom DRX’s only hope lay in their accumulated Dragon stacks. They managed to catch out a desperate Pantheon before the third Dragon. However, their hopes were dashed when a bold initiation by Pantheon at the Dragon Soul timing led to a crushing teamfight defeat. Having seized full control of the momentum, BNK FEARX snowballed their lead to over 7k gold.

Kiwoom DRX tried to stall by forcing trades, including a highlight play where 'Willer's' Lee Sin kicked out 'VicLa' Lee Dae-kwang’s Viktor. However, there wasn't enough time to recover their devastated base. Ultimately, BNK FEARX secured an ace in the final mid teamfight to put an end to the match.
