LCK 2025: Day Four Sees Favorites Restore the Faith

Dplus KIA and Hanwha Life Esports need bounce-backs after their disappointing start to the LCK return. Both teams did just that, by emerging victorious 2-0. Dplus looked shaky, almost losing game two, but Aiming steadied the ship. For HLE, Viper stood up tall to remind everyone that he is one of the best AD carries, not just in the LCK, but in the world, to dismantle Bdd and KT Rolster.

LCK 2025: Dplus KIA Versus BNK FearX

Initial Prediction

Dplus 2-1 BFX

Result

Dplus 2-0 BFX

Summary

After Dplus’s collapse against BRION, they needed a response today. Game one went more or less the same for Dplus, as they dominated the first game. There was one mistake from Lucid that gave BFX a chance, but they closed out the game. It seemed like game two Dplus was rearing its head as mistake after mistake lost them their lead.

Against an Infernal Soul Varus, it was looking like Dplus was going to lose another game two. Mistakes from BFX and herorics from Aiming saved the game state, allowing Dplus to get Elder and Baron. Raptor made another overextended engagement, which led to his team’s demise and a 2-0 victory for Dplus. VicLa remains a concern for this roster. His mechanical mistakes are costing them in team fights.

• Lucid – 5
• Showmaker – 7

• Beryl – 5

BFX

• Clear – 4
• Raptor – 2.5

LCK 2025: Hanwha Life Esports Versus KT Rolster

Initial Prediction

HLE 2-0 KT

Result

HLE 2-0 KT

Summary

Bdd locked in the Malzahar for the first time in the LCK since 2022. He got an early lead thanks to a solo kill on Zeka, but could not propel his team to victory. HLE were better at almost every step, with Viper taking the game into his hands. Zeka struggled in game one, but in game two, he stepped up on Azir. He, along with Viper, carried the game forward for HLE and gave KT no chance to tie up the series.

Cuzz had a solid performance throughout the series, but the KT bot and top lanes struggled. Peter performed the worst out of everyone. He did not find engagements to help his team and often found himself caught in the worst positions.
