In the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 27th, BNK FEARX defeated Kiwoom DRX 2-1. The matchup between the two five-win teams was a critical battle for a potential spot in the 'Road to MSI,' and after a fierce contest, BNK FEARX emerged victorious to keep their hopes alive.

BNK FEARX pulled off a thrilling comeback in Game 1. Kiwoom DRX took the early lead by focusing on 'VicLa' Lee Dae-kwang's Ryze, which allowed 'Ucal' Son Woo-hyeon's Annie to scale effectively. Annie, paired with 'Willer' Kim Jung-hyun's Jarvan IV, moved aggressively to widen the gap. During this process, 'Rich' Lee Jae-won's K'Sante also grew well, serving as a sturdy shield for Kiwoom DRX, eventually leading them to secure the Baron.

However, BNK FEARX proved they knew how to catch their opponents off guard. They precisely timed an engagement when the K'Sante, lacking Teleport, had rotated to the bottom lane, resulting in a massive teamfight win. By securing a large amount of shutdown gold, BNK FEARX overturned the global gold deficit. They showcased their firepower in a mid teamfight, picking up four kills without losing a single player. Jarvan IV could not hold them off alone, and BNK FEARX destroyed the Nexus to take Game 1.

Game 2, conversely, went to Kiwoom DRX. By utilizing the active roaming of 'Andil' Moon Gwan-bin on Bard, Kiwoom DRX seized early control, which helped accelerate the growth of 'Ucal's' Viktor. Although BNK FEARX managed to disrupt the flow with a Dragon steal, Kiwoom DRX's top-side trio continued to exert their presence in both side lanes and teamfights. Kiwoom DRX successfully struck back in Game 2, widening the gold gap to nearly 10k.

Game 3 was as intense as a final set should be. The game saw a recurring pattern: whenever BNK FEARX scored in skirmishes, Kiwoom DRX compensated through solo kills or pick-off plays. The game remained deadlocked past the 20-minute mark, with almost no difference in global gold. A head-on Dragon teamfight ended in a 4-for-4 trade as the power of 'Taeyoon' Kim Tae-yoon's Lucian and 'Ucal's' Mel clashed simultaneously.

Around the 31-minute mark, Kiwoom DRX attempted to bait out the Shen by starting Baron, but it proved to be a misstep. Xin Zhao engaged aggressively, starting by taking down 'LazyFeel's' Yun Na-ra and following up by finishing off Mel, allowing BNK FEARX to secure the Baron. Although Mel managed to buy time for his team by solo-killing 'VicLa's' Ahri, the front line continued to be pushed back by Lucian's ultimate skill, forcing Kiwoom DRX to concede both the seventh Dragon and the Baron. With the Baron Buff, BNK FEARX pushed in and put an end to the long-drawn-out series.
