Top players by damage
The stakes could not have been higher for HANJIN BRION in this second game of the series. Facing a massive deficit after a loss in Game 1, they entered the rift needing a miracle to equalize the series. Instead, they found themselves caught in a relentless storm as Dplus Kia sought to close out the series and assert their dominance in the LCK 2026 season. As the predictions suggested, the massive gap in lane stability and jungle pressure proved too much for the underdogs to overcome.

* Dplus Kia showcased absolute mechanical superiority, racking up a massive 21 kills to HANJIN BRION's mere 6. * Siwoo utilized the power of Jayce to dismantle the enemy structure, contributing to a staggering 11 towers destroyed. * The gold gap was insurmountable, with the victors commanding 61.1k gold compared to the 44.1k gold held by the losing side.
Early Game
The early stages of the match perfectly mirrored the pre-match concerns regarding HANJIN BRION's lane stability. While the pre-draft analysis suggested that the blue side's choice of Rumble might provide enough engage to neutralize the scaling, the execution was far from perfect. Dplus Kia immediately began dictating the tempo, with Lucid utilizing Jarvan IV to create massive pressure. The mid lane, which was expected to be a struggle for Loki, became a graveyard for HANJIN BRION's momentum as the gap in gold and pressure widened almost instantly.
The Turning Point
The momentum shifted irrevocably when the jungle and mid lane synergy of the visiting squad took control of the map. The draft advantage for Dplus Kia materialized through the burst potential of ShowMaker on Ahri. By utilizing the CC from Jarvan IV, the mid laner was able to pick off key targets, preventing Loki from ever finding a foothold on his Yone. This period of the game saw the destruction of the first major objectives, as the victors secured 3 dragons and a Baron to effectively starve the opposition of any comeback potential.
Closing Out
As the clock ticked toward the 26:00 minute mark, the game became a clinical execution of a lead. Smash provided the consistent damage on Aphelios to ensure that any attempt at a late-game fight by Teddy on Yunara was met with overwhelming firepower. HANJIN BRION's inability to take a single tower or secure a single Baron left them wandering aimlessly in a gold deficit that had grown to nearly 17k gold. With the series now concluded at 2-0, Dplus Kia leaves the arena having completely dismantled the hopes of the HANJIN BRION roster.
