On the 1st, Hanjin Brion defeated DN Supers 2-0 in their 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 1 match at LoL Park in Jonggak, snapping a six-game losing streak and savoring a long-awaited victory. Conversely, DN Supers suffered another crushing defeat, extending their losing streak to eight games.

Hanwha Life Esports Brion targeted the opposing bottom lane, taking down both Yunara and Lulu, and also caught 'Clozer's' Aurora in the top lane. Building on this, they began to overwhelm DNS in macro play, giving their opponents no room to breathe and dictating the flow of the game as they pleased.

After securing one-sided advantages in a series of small skirmishes, Hanwha Life Esports Brion monopolized objectives like Dragons and Baron, widening the gold gap to over 10,000 and cruising to victory.

In the second set, DNS drew first blood by taking down 'Roamer's' Galio in the mid lane, but Hanwha Life Esports Brion responded by catching 'Clozer's' Ahri in a fight near the Voidgrubs. The teams traded two kills apiece in a subsequent Dragon fight, with DNS securing the Dragon to reach two stacks. Although DNS gained an advantage by picking up kills near the Rift Herald, Hanwha Life Esports Brion initiated a fight in the mid lane with 'Gideon's' Nocturne ultimate, winning the team fight decisively and turning the global gold lead in their favor.

DNS committed multiple players to the top lane to target Galio but failed to secure the kill. Instead, Hanwha Life Esports Brion pursued them, with 'Teddy's' Corki picking up a triple kill. Hanwha Life Esports Brion then successfully took down Baron, effectively sealing the game.

With a gold lead of over 9,000, Hanwha Life Esports Brion overtook DNS in Dragon stacks, reaching three first despite DNS' early lead. They then destroyed the enemy Nexus to secure their second win of the season and escape the swamp of their 6-game losing streak.
