BNK FEARX Crowned First-Ever Demacia Cup Champions

At the inaugural League of Legends Demacia Cup Global Invitational 2026, BNK FEARX defeated Team WE 3-1 to claim the title.

The Korean squad remained undefeated throughout the Group Stage before making their way through the bracket and sealing the championship in front of WE's home crowd.

BNK FEARX Complete an Undefeated Demacia Cup 2026 Run

BNK FEARX continued South Korea's dominance at the Demacia Cup 2026, the inaugural edition of the tournament designed to bring together teams that did not qualify for the League of Legends World Championship. The event allowed these teams to compete internationally before the offseason began.

After a flawless Group Stage, BNK FEARX remained undefeated throughout the tournament. Victories over Team Vitality and LGD Gaming helped establish the Korean squad as one of the favorites heading into the Knockout Stage, where they overcame JD Gaming and KT Rolster to secure their place in the Grand Final.

In a dominant series against Team WE, BNK FEARX secured the first two games with ease. Although WE claimed the third game and threatened a comeback, the Korean squad kept their composure and closed out the series in convincing fashion in Game 4 to secure the title.

With this victory, BNK FEARX secured approximately $89,275 in prize money. Jeon "Raptor" Eo-jin, meanwhile, was named MVP of the Grand Finals.

First Trophy of the Year

For BNK FEARX, the 2026 Demacia Cup marks their first and only title of the competitive season.

After a disappointing second half of the year in the LCK, fans grew hopeful when BNK FEARX made it through the LCK Season Play-Ins and secured a spot in the Playoffs.

However, the team ultimately fell short of qualifying for Worlds 2026. With their Demacia Cup victory, BNK FEARX have finally lifted a trophy, ending the season on a high note.
