DN SOOPers 2-0 BNK FEARX — LCK 2026 Results & Stats

TL;DR: DN SOOPers swept BNK FEARX 2-0 in LCK 2026 by surviving a Game 1 deficit and then overwhelming the pre-series favorites in Game 2. The result matters because BNK FEARX’s projected scaling advantage never arrived: DN SOOPers’ coordinated engages, led by Sharvel, turned draft potential into a statement sweep.

Key Takeaways

• Sharvel was the series MVP: after recovering to 3/2/10 on Lee Sin in Game 1, he exploded for 10/1/14 and 89% KP on Vi in Game 2, turning a difficult opening into a jungle-led rout.
• The defining moment was DN SOOPers erasing BNK FEARX’s +1792 gold@15 advantage in Game 1. Peter’s flawless 0/0/17 Karma gave the comeback fights the protection and tempo they needed.
• DN SOOPers won the series 2-0 despite BNK FEARX entering as a 60% Polymarket favorite. Game 1 ended 20-10 in kills after 29:50, while Game 2 was even more decisive at 27-10 in 30:20.

Before the Series

The pre-match case favored BNK FEARX at 60.5%: a 15W-18L record, a recent 2-0 over DN SOOPers, and a scaling core expected to withstand early aggression. Raptor, carrying a 5.4 KDA and +188 GD@15, looked positioned to decide the matchup against Sharvel.

The nightly draft analysis identified Vi, Rumble, Lee Sin, Karma, and Ezreal as champions likely to shape the series. It also warned that Orianna’s 78.6% presence, Varus’s 74.7% presence, and Rumble’s 73.5% presence made draft pressure central. The live model gave DN SOOPers a narrow 51% edge in both games; that modest edge translated twice, even if the paths could not have been more different.

Game 1 — Setting the Tone

BNK FEARX initially played the script everyone expected. Raptor’s Pantheon built +970 GoldDiff@15, while VicLa’s Syndra added +511, helping BNK FEARX establish the +1792 gold@15 team lead. For a side favored to scale, it looked like the foundation of a controlled win.

Instead, DN SOOPers made the series’ first great reversal. Sharvel’s Lee Sin was down -970 GoldDiff@15, yet his 3/2/10 finish proved the pre-draft read correct about the champion’s impact, if not its early route. Peter made Karma decisive rather than merely safe, posting 0/0/17 and a 17.00 KDA as DN SOOPers found repeated clean engages. Clozer’s Ryze added 7/4/7, and the team converted its coordination into a 64.8k to 55.3k gold finish.

The flagged Ezreal did not deliver the same payoff. Taeyoon’s 5/4/1 line provided early opportunities, but not the carry threat BNK FEARX needed once the map reset around DN SOOPers’ fights.

Game 2 — The Pivot

Game 1 had been a comeback; Game 2 removed all doubt. With the series at 1-0, DN SOOPers immediately attacked the jungle matchup, and Sharvel’s Vi made every opening permanent. His +1779 GoldDiff@15 over Raptor’s Jarvan IV became a 10/1/14 masterpiece, converting early picks into a lead BNK FEARX could never stabilize.

This was where the champion forecast fully landed. Vi and Rumble had both been flagged before draft, and DuDu’s Rumble validated that billing with 4/0/13. Alongside Clozer’s 9/3/11 Ahri, the Vi-Rumble-Ahri core created engage after engage, leaving no space for BNK FEARX’s scaling composition to breathe.

DN SOOPers finished with 69.1k to 52.5k gold, 10 towers, 3 dragons, and 1 barons. The 27-10 kill score showed not a close game lost in one fight, but a team repeatedly denied a route back.

Aftermath

DN SOOPers won the series 2-0 because they answered both versions of BNK FEARX’s challenge. In Game 1, they absorbed a substantial early deficit and trusted their teamfighting. In Game 2, they never allowed that deficit to exist. Sharvel changed from resilient recovery story to unstoppable initiator, while Peter, DuDu, and Clozer supplied the structure around him.

For BNK FEARX, the defeat overturned every major pre-series assumption. Their head-to-head edge and scaling identity mattered less than DN SOOPers’ ability to force the game onto their terms.

Polymarket Trajectory

Polymarket began with BNK FEARX as the 60% series favorite, a reasonable conclusion from the available form and recent head-to-head result, but one that underestimated DN SOOPers’ draft cohesion. The market’s clearest miss came in Game 1, where DN SOOPers won after closing as a 44% game chance despite BNK FEARX’s early gold lead. That comeback changed the series assessment sharply, correctly recognizing that DN SOOPers had seized control of the matchup’s rhythm. By Game 2, the market had essentially arrived at a coin flip, and DN SOOPers validated the slightly favorable read with a far more commanding victory. The earlier signal was not raw scaling: it was the way Lee Sin, Karma, and then Vi gave Sharvel and his teammates reliable access to fights.
