During the 2026 League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) regular season Round 2 match at LoL Park in Jongno on the 14th, kt Rolster emerged victorious over Kiwoom DRX with a 2-1 score. It was a thrilling series that culminated in kt Rolster’s 10th win of the season after a decisive team fight in the end.
The first set kicked off with ‘Aiming’ Kim Ha-ram’s Sivir and ‘Effort’ Lee Sang-ho’s Karma securing an early duo kill. ‘Cuzz’ Moon Woo-chan’s Pantheon in the top lane executed a flawless response to an enemy dive, securing a double kill. With control established across all lanes, kt Rolster dominated the bottom lane skirmishes, accumulating kills and building a substantial lead. Their coordination and damage output during dives were exceptional.
Although Kiwoom DRX managed to eliminate ‘Bdd’ Gwak Bo-seong’s Annie, they suffered heavy losses, conceding four kills in the ensuing clash. Despite their attempts to gain an advantage with ‘Andil’ Moon Gwan-bin’s Bard, they were met with fierce counterattacks from kt Rolster. With a gold lead surpassing 10k at the 20-minute mark, kt Rolster secured Baron easily and destroyed the Nexus to claim the first set.
In the early stages of the second set, Kiwoom DRX secured solo kills in both the jungle and mid lane simultaneously. Despite kt Rolster’s efforts to stay competitive by forcing trades during rotations, Kiwoom DRX continued to find success in the mid-jungle area. Unlike the previous set, Kiwoom DRX took the lead in every lane. They also emerged victorious in a crucial 5-on-5 bottom lane team fight that involved both top laners. ‘Ucal’ Son Woo-hyeon’s Orianna quickly snowballed to a 5/1/0 scoreline.
Kiwoom DRX secured both Baron and the Mountain Dragon Soul. Although kt Rolster managed to narrow the gap by eliminating ‘Rich’ Lee Jae-won’s Kennen and ‘Willer’ Kim Jeong-hyeon’s Vi, they were compelled to concede a second Baron after ‘Cuzz’s Jarvan IV was caught out. While scouting for the Elder Dragon, ‘Lazyfill’s’ Yunaara initiated a fight by eliminating ‘Effort’s’ Nami, enabling Kiwoom DRX to eliminate the remaining members and secure the set.
In the deciding third set, kt Rolster turned the tables on Kiwoom DRX’s aggressive Caitlyn-Lux bottom lane, securing multiple kills. Kiwoom DRX tried to retaliate by focusing on ‘Bdd’s’ Hwei, but they lost control of the game after a significant defeat at the dragon pit. ‘Cuzz’s’ Naafiri stole the dragon, with additional kills going to Hwei and ‘Aiming’s’ Jhin.
From that point on, kt Rolster dominated every dragon team fight, eventually securing the Mountain Soul. Despite this, Kiwoom DRX displayed resilience; they engaged in a fight targeting the flashless Hwei, trading 2-for-1, and then executed a remarkable clean ace at Baron. Nevertheless, a regrouped kt Rolster minimized their losses at Baron thanks to ‘Perfect’ Lee Seung-min’s Zahan drop. Eventually, kt Rolster clinched the victory in the third set by securing four kills in a team fight at the Elder Dragon.
