DN SOOPers Extend Winning Run as Vi Takes Over LCK

TL;DR: DN SOOPers closed out BNK FEARX after taking a 1-0 series lead, extending their winning run to 4 with a one-sided 30:20 Game 2. Sharvel’s Vi created the decisive jungle gap, converting a +1779 gold@15 advantage and 89% KP into a 17k gold snowball.

Key Takeaways

• Sharvel turned Vi’s 10/1/14 line and +1779 GoldDiff@15 into the engine of DN SOOPers’ decisive early-game control.
• DuDu made Rumble’s pre-draft billing count, finishing 4/0/13 as DN SOOPers claimed 10 towers and denied any top-side recovery.
• DN SOOPers won the kill race 27-10, adding 3 dragons, 1 barons, and 69.1k gold to make their fourth straight win emphatic.

Building the Lead

BNK FEARX entered Game 2 needing to equalize the LCK 2026 series, despite arriving as the pre-series 60% Polymarket favorite. Instead, DN SOOPers found the tempo immediately. Sharvel’s Vi repeatedly turned pressure into picks, while his gold lead over Raptor’s Jarvan IV showed where the game broke open.

The jungle advantage mattered because it gave the rest of the composition room to execute. Clozer’s Ahri followed those openings with a ruthless 9/3/11, and the intended Rumble-Vi-Ahri core delivered exactly as the draft analysis predicted. Vi and Rumble were both flagged before draft; each appeared, and both proved decisive rather than merely available.

The Numbers Tell the Story

The final economy told a brutal story: DN SOOPers finished on 69.1k gold to BNK FEARX’s 52.5k, a gap that made later fights increasingly impossible to stabilize. Although Taeyoon’s Jhin held a +373 GoldDiff@15, that isolated lane edge could not compensate for the damage elsewhere on the map.

In particular, Peter’s Rell supplied 1/3/24, constantly ensuring the engage had a second layer after Vi went in. Across 30:20, DN SOOPers converted their fight wins into 3 dragons, 1 barons, and 10 towers, while BNK FEARX managed only 1 dragons, 0 barons, and 3 towers. That is what a stomp looks like: every successful fight becomes another piece of the map.

The Final Push

BNK FEARX still had an assassin threat in VicLa’s Akali, whose 5/5/4 was the team’s best kill total, but there was no safe route to reach the back line. deokdam’s Corki contributed 2/3/15, while the protection around him removed the side-lane pressure the underdogs needed.

DN SOOPers then marched through the remaining structures without allowing a comeback fight. The 27-10 kill score reflected more than aggression; it reflected clean target selection, objective control, and a game plan that snowballed faster than BNK FEARX’s scaling could arrive.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket had this Game 2 close, pricing DN SOOPers at 52% at draft close against 48% for BNK FEARX. The market correctly identified a slight DN SOOPers edge, and the live draft model’s 51% preference materialized emphatically in-game. What neither narrow forecast captured was the scale of the jungle separation: Vi’s early advantage became a 17k gold lead, far beyond coin-flip territory. The day also reversed the pre-series expectation, where BNK FEARX held 60% roughly 90 minutes before Game 1. This result closes the series 0-2, and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
