Taeyoon’s Ziggs Leads BNK FEARX’s Game 4 Rout

BNK finished with a 26-11 kill edge and an 11k gold lead, closing the series and lifting the 2026 trophy hopes.

• Raptor’s Vi went 8/4/10 as BNK FEARX built a 26-11 kill advantage, delivering the threat flagged in the pre-draft analysis.

Building the Lead

With KT Rolster facing elimination, Game 4 demanded a response. Instead, BNK FEARX made the bot lane the center of its case for ending the series. Taeyoon’s Ziggs entered the game with a +1536 gold difference at 15 minutes, a sizeable head start that gave BNK the tools to press advantages across the map.

KT’s Caitlyn, Jiwoo, did manage 6/5/1, but those kills could not offset the wider map collapse. BNK’s lead stretched to 11k gold, while its team reached 26 kills to KT’s 11. Those numbers describe more than a winning fight or two: BNK paired its combat advantage with control of the map and an increasingly difficult game for KT to recover.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The pressure was not confined to one lane. Raptor’s Vi recorded 8/4/10, repeatedly contributing to BNK’s fight wins and showing why the champion had been highlighted before the match. The prediction that Vi would appear in the draft proved correct, and the pick delivered a major share of the winning team’s takedowns.

BNK’s composition also had useful follow-up around its carries: Viktor provided zone control, while Shen could support engagements. The numbers show how thoroughly that plan translated into objectives. BNK claimed 3 dragons and 1 Baron, compared with KT’s 1 dragon and no Barons, and took 11 towers to KT’s 1. The game ended after 28:10 with BNK ahead 62.8k to 52.1k gold.

The live draft model favored BNK FEARX at 52%, and the win confirms that its modest pre-game edge materialized. It was no guarantee of a stomp, but the execution turned the advantage into a decisive result.

The Final Push

KT never found the map foothold needed to make a comeback. Effort’s Bard finished 0/9/5, while BNK spread its impact across the lineup: Kellin’s Shen posted 4/3/13, and Clear’s Nidalee ended 5/1/9. Those performances helped BNK keep the pressure on rather than relying on a single source of damage.

The final margin—26-11 kills, 11-1 towers, and 62.8k to 52.1k gold—made the outcome plain. BNK FEARX won Game 4, finished the series 3-1, and sent KT Rolster out of the 2026 Demacia Cup Global Invitational.

Polymarket Market

At draft close, the Game market put BNK FEARX at 46% and KT Rolster at 55%, a near-even read that leaned slightly toward KT. The result went the other way: BNK’s bot-lane advantage and 11k gold lead exposed an execution edge the market had not priced as the likelier outcome. Before the series, the market had also leaned toward KT, at 58% against BNK’s 42%. This result closes the series, KT Rolster 1-3 BNK FEARX; the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
