BFX managed to keep the series going with a victory in game three. They will need to win the next to have a chance to face T1 in the LCK Playoffs. However, DK shut the door in BFX’s face in the fourth game. There was little action, but DK was first to break open the game. They have gotten their revenge on BFX and set a rematch with T1 for the final LCK spot at the World Championship.
Bdd pulled out the Zoe in game four against GenG, to carry KT Rolster to Silver Scrapes and eventually a series victory. ShowMaker has his hands on the champion to do the opposite. He must carry DK to prevent BFX from sending the series to a fifth game and putting their hopes for a World Championship spot on hold.
BFX Composition
DK Composition
The early game saw little action. Neither team wanted to take a gamble in a pivotal game. BFX needed to secure the win for a reverse sweep, while DK wanted to stem their momentum. DK would be the first one to strike with a play onto the bot side of the map. A quick trigger from Lucid and BeryL landed a one-shot kill on Raptor, which followed into another kill on Kellin. DK now has a significant lead that they can build off of to close out the series.
The situation seemed dire for BFX. Playing from behind against DK’s composition makes it impossible to enter fights at an even state. Raptor would be the one to find the angle on Aiming. A flash smite, stolen Leona ultimate, locked him into place. BFX picked up two kills and set their sights on Atakhan. Out of fear for the Smite Q from Lucid, BFX hesitated to finish the Atakhan, which gave the remaining DK members the space to clean up the fight and build an insurmountable lead to close out the game and the series.

DK’s 3-1 series victory has allowed them to advance to the next round of the LCK playoffs. They will meet T1 in a rematch of their Round 1 match. The winner of that series will secure their spot in the World Championship. BFX is eliminated from the LCK Playoffs, and their year is now over, but a valiant effort almost earned them a top 5 berth.
