Dplus KIA secured a 2-0 victory over HanJin Brion in the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) Spring regular season Round 1, held at LoL PARK in Jongno on the 23rd. After a comeback win in the first game, Dplus KIA dominated the second to reach their fourth win of the season.

Game 1 featured an unusual sight in the top lane with Anivia facing Varus. The first blood came from the bottom lane, where a sharp gank by 'Lucid' Choi Yong-hyeok's Lee Sin resulted in a kill on 'Namgung' Namgung Seong-hun's Neeko. HanJin Brion responded in the top lane, winning a 2v2 skirmish decisively. 'Gideon' Kim Min-sung's Pantheon picked up two kills, accelerating his growth. 'Lucid' soon balanced the kill score at 2-2 by taking down 'RoKie' Lee Sang-min's Aurora.

HanJin Brion took the initiative, building a lead by securing consecutive dragons. Around the 28-minute mark, the Ocean Soul appeared. Dplus KIA, needing to contest it, set up position first and began the dragon, forcing HanJin Brion into a disadvantageous position. Dplus KIA capitalized on this to win a massive teamfight. Having successfully turned the game around, Dplus KIA maintained control and closed out the first game.

In Game 2, the two junglers opted for different strategies: 'Lucid's' Jarvan IV focused on the bottom lane, while 'Gideon's' Sejuani targeted the top, both securing multiple kills. HanJin Brion attempted to gain a larger advantage through Voidgrubs, but the subsequent teamfight proved costly. Led by a Jarvan IV equipped with Sundered Sky, Dplus KIA swept the kills. Within 10 minutes, the gold lead had widened to over 4,000.

Although 'Teddy' Park Jin-sung's Yuna made a super play by aggressively flashing forward to take down 'Smash' Shin Geum-jae's Aphelios, the sheer size of the fed Jarvan IV proved too much, leading to the deaths of both Yuna and 'Namgung's' Lulu. 'ShowMaker' Heo Su's Ahri had also reached a 4/0/1 scoreline by that point. Dplus KIA leveraged their growth advantage to snowball the game, ending the match in just over 26 minutes.
