BNK FearX suffered a crushing defeat; Coach Park Joon-seok criticized the team's lack of cohesion.

In a match of the second round of the 2026 LCK regular season, BNK FearX lost 0-2 to Hanwha Life Esports Brion.

After the match, BNK FearX head coach Park Jun-seok admitted in an interview that the core reason for the loss was the players' differing opinions, and expressed concern about the team's future stability.

Coach Park analyzed the details of the defeat in detail. In the first game, the early deaths in the jungle and the lack of coordination in skill usage during the crucial dragon team fight caused the situation to tilt instantly.

Although they managed to get through the early game smoothly in the second game, a hasty team fight decision during the mid-to-late game led to a collapse of the overall balance. He regretfully stated, "The players seemed to be on different wavelengths, with a serious lack of execution."

Regarding the team's performance being so different from what it was during the EWC qualifiers, Coach Park pointed out that with the addition of new ADC player Taeyoon, the team is still looking for common ground in their bot lane duo.

Coach Park stated frankly, "Only when members strengthen communication can the team truly become a cohesive unit." Currently, the team not only needs to re-align its hero priority decisions, but the players' overall competitive performance is also fluctuating.

When discussing the upcoming matches, Coach Park's attitude was very serious. He frankly stated that BNK FearX currently does not have the strength to defeat the strong team KT: "If they continue with today's performance, we have no chance of winning."

In order to improve their level in the second half of the regular season, Coach Park plans to start with the upcoming scrimmages, address weaknesses through extensive communication, and ultimately make a run for the World Championship.
