BFX’s Taeyoon voted Player of the Match after pentakill against BRO

Taeyoon picked up every kill on the enemy team in a single fight, and voters decided that was worth recognizing. The BFX bot laner earned Player of the Match honors after securing a pentakill in his team’s 2-1 victory over BRO on August 21, 2026, during Week 13 of the LCK season.

For the uninitiated: a pentakill means one player eliminates all five opponents in quick succession. It’s the League of Legends equivalent of a buzzer-beating half-court shot, except you also have to beat four other defenders on the way there. They’re rare at the professional level, where coordinated teams rarely leave themselves exposed to that kind of sequential wipeout.

The trade that brought Taeyoon to BFX

Taeyoon, born Kim Tae-yoon, hasn’t been with BNK FearX for long. He joined the roster on April 30, 2026, arriving from Nongshim RedForce in a straight 1-for-1 swap for Diable.

Since making the switch, the 24-year-old has wasted little time making an impression. He picked up a Player of the Match award in his very first game with BFX, and the pentakill performance against BRO adds another memorable entry to what’s becoming a productive stint with his new squad.

BFX’s current roster features Clear in the top lane, Raptor in the jungle, VicLa in mid, Taeyoon at bot, and Kellin on support.

Context within the LCK season

The victory over BRO came with BFX sitting in the lower half of the LCK standings, carrying a mixed record through the split.

The 2-1 scoreline suggests the series was competitive throughout. BRO managed to take a game, meaning this wasn’t a clean sweep where one team was clearly outmatched.

What to watch from BFX going forward

Taeyoon’s career earnings sit at roughly $8,802, a figure that reflects the reality of professional esports outside the very top of the salary structure.
