LCK 2026 Regular Season Day 15: Nongshim Defeat BRO In A Competitive Series
Nongshim Redforce and T1 have kept similar scripts in the LCK. NS either wins both their series or loses them. They barely survived against HANJIN BRION to move to a 4-2 record. T1, on the other hand, has continued bouncing back from losses. Each week has started with a loss for them and then ended with a victory.
HANJIN BRION Versus Nongshim Redforce
Game One – Namgung’s Best Performance
Namgung has not had the most successful start to the LCK. His Neeko performance was his best of the campaign so far. A vast majority of his Pop Blossoms find a crucial member. BRO went for a risky Baron, and NS punished them. They killed most of the BRO players and neutralized the gold lead. Namgung once again found the angle to close out the first game.
Game Two – Live and Die By Lehends
Lehends dies three times in the early stages, which gives BRO a lead. He finds a pivotal flash Bard Q to set up the first fight win for NS. They slowly build a lead in the game and push BRO off their Baron attempt. The game gets a bit shaky for NS as many of their members die in unfavorable positions. Despite that, they win the pivotal teamfight and close out game two.
Game Three – The Teams Play a Game of Tennis
Each team takes turns to make positive and negative plays. Very often, those plays happen right after the other. In the end, it is NS that emerges on top with better executed dives. BRO stalls out the game thanks to multiple Enchanted Crystal Arrows landing. However, in the final teamfight, NS surged to end the game, and are 4-2 in the LCK.

KRX Versus T1
Game One – T1 Pushes Their Advantage
T1’s composition spikes in the mid-game. If they fall behind early, they might struggle to win fights. It is the style of compositions that suits T1. They fight for everything and narrowly build advantages. Small advantages turn into significant gold leads. Willer steals the Baron, but it does not matter. Lazyfeel and Ucal take a mysterious Realm Warp, which exposes the rest of KRX. T1 kills everyone and ends the game.
Game Two – One Mistake Almost Proves Costly
T1 with more proactivity builds an early gold lead. It looks like they will run away with the game until KRX dives Doran on the bot tower. They kill him, the Tower, and Oner, who showed up to try to save Doran. They even out the gold deficit. T1 pulls the trigger on Ucal in the top lane. They win the fight after killing Ucal and push for the end. The push is risky, but T1 has enough to end the series.

Nongshim See-Saw Continues
NS went 2-0 and 0-2 in the first two weeks of the LCK. Now they have finished the third week with a 2-0 series record. Even in this series, you could see moments of brilliance and weakness from the roster. In both of their victories, there were moments where they almost threw away their lead. Game three featured the most mysterious moments. They had a guaranteed Mountain Soul point, but decided to push the fight further. That mistake caused the game to go on longer than it should have.
T1 With Another Bounce Back
After a disappointing loss earlier in the week, T1 bounced back. They had the advantage over KRX for the majority of the series. As is the case with T1, some happy gaming moments meant the wins were not comfortable. For the third week in a row, T1 has lost the first series and won the second for a 3-3 record.
