Raptor's Lee Sin Drives BNK FEARX Past HANJIN BRION

TL;DR: Raptor’s Lee Sin anchored BNK FEARX’s 38:40 victory over HANJIN BRION, turning a narrow game into an 18-17 kill win through decisive control. Clear’s K'Sante created the top-lane edge with +1093 gold@15, while the result puts BNK FEARX ahead 1-0 in this LCK 2026 BO3.

Key Takeaways

• Clear built a +1093 gold@15 advantage on K'Sante, a top-lane gap that gave BNK FEARX the durable frontline needed to win late fights.
• Raptor produced a 5/1/9 line and 14.00 KDA on Lee Sin, converting jungle pressure into the game’s most reliable source of control.
• BNK FEARX claimed 9 towers to 3 and 1 barons to 0, showing how their 2.6k gold lead became a map-winning advantage.

Trading Blows

HANJIN BRION did not fade quietly. Teddy’s Corki posted 5/2/8 and held +637 gold@15, while his team matched BNK FEARX on 3 dragons and stayed within 77.1k to 74.5k gold.

The early skirmishes favored the underdog narrative around HANJIN BRION’s lanes, especially as GIDEON’s Pantheon reached 4/5/8. Yet the 18-17 kill score concealed a larger territorial problem: BNK FEARX consistently translated close fights into structures, leaving their opponents with only 3 towers.

The Deciding Factor

The story began in top lane, where Clear’s K'Sante absorbed pressure and still finished 3/1/8 with a 11.00 KDA. That +1093 gold@15 lead overturned the pre-draft expectation that Casting’s Olaf could dictate the matchup; despite 5/3/4, he could not become the uncontrollable split-push threat envisioned.

From there, Raptor made every opening matter. His Lee Sin finished 5/1/9, carrying 78% KP and a 14.00 KDA while repeatedly giving BNK FEARX the numbers advantage around contested space.

What Made the Difference

BNK FEARX won through composition execution rather than a runaway kill total. VicLa’s Annie went 3/5/12, and Kellin’s Neeko added 5/5/12, supplying engage and follow-up for a team that eventually secured the lone Baron.

The pre-draft analysis flagged Ryze, and he did appear, but Roamer’s 3/5/6 performance did not deliver the scaling edge predicted against Annie. The live draft model favored HANJIN BRION at 51%, so that edge never materialized in-game. Likewise, the pre-match call of BNK FEARX 5% versus HANJIN BRION 5% did not truly identify a winner, although BNK FEARX did deliver the stated outcome.

Polymarket Market

Polymarket treated Game 1 as nearly even at draft close, placing BNK FEARX at 48% against HANJIN BRION’s 52%; that was a reasonable read of a game decided by only 2.6k gold. The market did not fully anticipate how decisively BNK FEARX would own the map, winning 9 towers to 3 and taking the only Baron despite the close kill race. Earlier series pricing had leaned toward BNK FEARX at 56% to 44%, so this result restored rather than reversed that expectation. After the game, the series market moved to BNK FEARX 76% versus HANJIN BRION 24%, signaling that Game 2 now demands a sharper answer to their top-jungle control.
