BNK FearX's victory allowed them to reclaim the first-place position in their group. The team demonstrated strong form by taking Game 1.

The 2026 LCK season features three splits, with Rounds 3-4 being a double round-robin format. The strong performance by BNK FearX in this crucial group stage match reinforces their position as a top-tier team in the competitive Korean League of Legends scene. For Polymarket traders, the market's resolution serves as a clear indicator of the collective foresight present in well-liquidated prediction markets.
