Kha Y Tran BNK FearX (BFX) continued their impressive run in the LCK 2026 Split 3 Rise Group with a convincing 2-0 victory over DN Supers (DNS) on July 30. Throughout the best-of-three series, BFX displayed excellent teamwork and superior objective control. They also dominated every major teamfight. As a result, DNS never had a chance to build momentum in either game.
Meanwhile, DN Supers introduced rookie jungler Sharvel to the starting lineup in hopes of turning their season around. However, the roster change made little difference. BNK FearX consistently outplayed DNS through better coordination. Consequently, DNS remained near the bottom of the Rise Group standings.

Game 1
Right from the opening minutes, BNK FearX focused on vision control around the river. Instead of forcing risky fights, they prioritized neutral objectives. This approach allowed them to build a steady early lead.
Soon afterward, BFX claimed First Blood in the bottom lane. Taeyoon’s Corki secured the opening kill after a clean play involving Kellin’s Shen and Raptor’s timely rotation. As a result, BNK FearX gained control of the lower side of the map. They also dictated the pace of the early game.
From that point onward, Raptor completely took over the jungle matchup. His Lee Sin pressured every lane with constant rotations. In addition, he landed accurate Sonic Waves before using Dragon’s Rage to isolate key targets. Consequently, DNS’s carries spent most of the game on the defensive.
Meanwhile, Clear delivered another strong performance in the top lane. His well-placed Equalizers repeatedly split DNS’s formation. Because of that, BNK FearX secured Dragons and Void Grubs with little resistance.
Furthermore, VicLa’s Syndra added reliable crowd control and burst damage during the mid game. At the same time, Taeyoon safely scaled on Corki. Therefore, BFX entered the late game with multiple win conditions.
As the match progressed, BNK FearX steadily increased their gold lead. They eventually secured the Ocean Soul and Baron Nashor. Consequently, DNS had almost no chance to recover.
With more than 9,000 gold after 28 minutes, BNK FearX launched one final push through the middle lane. They won the decisive teamfight with ease. Shortly afterward, they destroyed the Nexus and took a 1-0 series lead.
BNK FearX Established Complete Control Early
Although DNS tried to slow the pace, BNK FearX stayed one step ahead throughout the game. Their superior vision allowed Raptor to invade safely. Meanwhile, every lane converted small advantages into objective control.
Moreover, BFX remained disciplined from start to finish. Instead of chasing kills, they focused on Dragons, Baron, and map pressure. As a result, DNS never found a realistic comeback opportunity.
By the end of Game 1, BNK FearX had proven why they are one of the strongest teams in the Rise Group. Their macro play was clean. Their execution was precise. Most importantly, Raptor dominated the jungle and left DNS with almost no answers heading into Game 2.
Game 2
Heading into Game 2, BNK FearX surprised everyone with Tristana top and Pantheon jungle. Although the draft looked unusual, it was built to dominate the early game. Ultimately, the strategy worked perfectly.
Right from level one, Raptor and Clear invaded Sharvel’s jungle. The play immediately disrupted Sharvel’s first clear. At the same time, DuDu had to leave his lane to help. As a result, Clear gained an early advantage in both farm and lane control.
From there, BNK FearX quickly took control of the top side. They then expanded their lead with clean rotations and efficient objective control.
Meanwhile, Clear constantly pressured towers with Tristana. In addition, Raptor roamed across the map with Pantheon. His movements created opportunities for both VicLa and Taeyoon to extend their leads.
On the other hand, Clozer tried to delay the game with Ryze’s wave clear. Meanwhile, deokdam farmed toward his core items on Kai’Sa. However, DNS struggled to find favorable fights because BNK FearX controlled vision around every major objective.
Furthermore, VicLa’s Taliyah played a key role in the mid game. His Weaver’s Wall repeatedly cut off escape routes. Consequently, BFX isolated priority targets before every important fight.
Eventually, BNK FearX secured Baron Nashor at the 26-minute mark. They immediately grouped with the Baron buff. Shortly afterward, they launched the final siege.
Although DNS attempted to defend their base, they lacked both damage and positioning. Just two minutes later, BNK FearX destroyed the Nexus and completed a dominant 2-0 sweep.
Player of the Match
Without question, Raptor was the best player of the series.
In Game 1, his Lee Sin controlled the pace from start to finish. He created constant pressure through aggressive pathing. In addition, he initiated several key fights with perfectly timed kicks. As a result, BNK FearX remained in control throughout the game.
In Game 2, Raptor delivered another outstanding performance on Pantheon. His early invade completely disrupted Sharvel’s jungle pathing. Furthermore, his proactive roams gave every lane a meaningful advantage. His map awareness and objective control also kept BNK FearX ahead at every stage.
Because of his consistency across both games, Raptor was the clear Player of the Match.
Meanwhile, Clear also deserves praise. He consistently pressured the top lane on both Rumble and Tristana. Moreover, he provided excellent follow-up during every major teamfight.
Sharvel
The series also marked Sharvel’s debut as DN Supers’ starting jungler. Unfortunately, it was a difficult first appearance against one of the strongest teams in the Rise Group.
Throughout both games, Sharvel struggled to secure resources. He repeatedly fell behind during the early stages. Consequently, DNS failed to execute its game plan. Clozer and deokdam also had very little room to carry teamfights.
Nevertheless, it would be unfair to judge a rookie after only one series. Adapting to the LCK takes time. This is especially true for a jungler, who must coordinate with every lane. Therefore, Sharvel still has plenty of room to improve.
Conclusion
With a convincing 2-0 victory, BNK FearX strengthened their hold on first place in the LCK 2026 Split 3 Rise Group.
More importantly, the series showcased the team’s greatest strengths. Their macro play was disciplined, their objective control was excellent. Their teamfighting was also well coordinated. Every player fulfilled their role, while Raptor once again proved why he is one of the league’s top junglers.
Looking ahead, BNK FearX will enter their upcoming matches with strong momentum. If they maintain this level of play, they will remain one of the favorites to dominate the Rise Group.
Meanwhile, DN Supers still have plenty of work to do. They must improve their early-game execution, objective control, and teamfight coordination. Otherwise, climbing the standings will become increasingly difficult.
Ultimately, DNS vs BFX highlighted the gap between the two teams. BNK FearX controlled the series from beginning to end, while Raptor’s exceptional jungle performance powered another impressive victory in the LCK 2026 Split 3.
