SOOP said on the 14th that "Al-ahal-ge" defeated "Team Lil'Dongpa" 3-1 in sets to win the title in the final of "2026 LoL Destruction Match Season 1," held at the SOOP Colosseum in Sangam, Seoul.
"Destruction Match" is SOOP's flagship original E-sports content that any streamer broadcasting on SOOP can join. It has taken root as more than a simple tournament, almost like a proper noun, and over the past 10 years about 10,000 streamers have participated, with cumulative viewers surpassing 400 million. In particular, because teams are formed within a set point cap, everyone from former pro gamers to beginner streamers competes together, showing distinctive chemistry and earning steady popularity among users.
In this final, "Team Lil'Dongpa," made up of popular streamer Kim Bong-jun; former pro gamer Addy; LoL streamer Kang Man-sik; and streamers Handueol, Hahanhaharoo, and Jang Hani, faced "Al-ahal-ge," composed of popular streamer Kim Seong-tae; former pro gamers Naneunsangyoon and Kwon Ji-in; and streamers Healing Donkey and Kim Yami. About 400 seats prepared at the finals venue sold out in 20 seconds.
In set 1, former pro gamer Naneunsangyoon shined. In the recent marksman meta, Naneunsangyoon recorded eight kills on Xayah, one of the signature champions, and "Al-ahal-ge" took the first win.
Set 2 was a fierce back-and-forth. After a marathon of more than 50 minutes, a slugfest broke out with a combined 55 kills by both teams, and thanks to Kang Man-sik's LeBlanc, "Team Lil'Dongpa" won to level the set score at 1-1.
In set 3, Naneunsangyoon again made a mark. Choosing Tristana, Naneunsangyoon picked up multiple kills in an early mid-lane skirmish to scale quickly, and on that momentum "Al-ahal-ge" pulled ahead 2-1 in sets.
In set 4, "Al-ahal-ge" seized control from the start and closed out the match. With Naneunsangyoon's Kai'Sa scaling steadily, "Al-ahal-ge" took the final set to seal the championship 3-1 in sets.
