BFX Dethrones NS in Thrilling LCK Play-ins Match

BFX defeated NS in the LCK Play-ins on August 27, 2026, thanks to a decisive 3-1 victory at Jonggak Chzzk LoL Park in Seoul.

Kim 'Taeyoon' Tae-yoon played a central role in sending his former team home for the season. He was traded from NS to BFX on April 30, 2026, and did not disappoint against his old teammates.

The series was Play-In Round 2, meaning the loser's season would be finished regardless of the outcome. NS needed a win to keep their playoff hopes alive, while BFX required a victory to advance to the LCK 2026 Playoffs.

BFX has had an interesting trajectory in the LCK, previously competing under the SANDBOX Gaming banner before BNK Financial Group became the primary sponsor and rebranded the team.
