With their backs against the wall, DK must respond to keep the series going in the LCK. Early advantages for DK gave them the chance to even up the series. After countless throws from DK, BFX had a chance back into the game. Siwoo struggled, giving Clear a lead that BFX used throughout the game. However, he would be the one to clutch the game and bring the series to Silver Scrapes.

LCK 2025: Fearless Draft in Full Effect

Both teams went off script in the fourth game of the series. Showmaker picked Viego mid to respond to Galio, while Diable picked Vayne. Both picks rely on them not falling behind; otherwise, they will become problems for each team. The confidence from Diable to play Vayne in a vital series like this while being a rookie is immense.

LCK 2025: Early Skirmishes Balloon Showmaker and Aiming’s Lead

In the first skirmish, BFX tried to burst down Aiming. However, they failed, giving DK the chance to turn, and they handily win the fight. DK used the power of Showmaker to find more kills throughout the map. The game looked unwinnable for BFX after the early leads.

LCK 2025: BFX Overload Onto Showmaker

With most of the gold sitting on Showmaker, BFX targeted him in the side lanes. Multiple attempts from BFX worked, and they managed to keep the game stable. DK still maintained a gold lead, but they could not find a way to extend it.

LCK 2025: DK Finds the Vital Lead

After tense moments, DK is finally able to extend their lead to what feels insurmountable. With a 9k gold lead and Cloud Soul in their pocket, there was no way for BFX to have a chance in the game.

LCK 2025: Mistakes from DK, But Siwoo Stands Tall

Leave it up to DK to find a way to throw an unlosable game. After securing the Baron, Beryl dies on midwave. BFX uses the man advantage to push for more gold. Another overextension from DK leaves Siwoo alive. All seems lost for DK, but the combination of Beryl and Siwoo stands firm to kill the rest of BFX. Siwoo Teleports in to end the game, in one of the craziest endings to a series this year.

DK Ties Up the Series, But Look Shaky

With DK having a significant advantage throughout the game, they never seemed confident to take team fights. The hesitation made it impossible for DK to extend their advantage until BFX made errors. Even with a 9k gold lead, Cloud Soul and Baron, DK nearly lost the game, save for Siwoo’s heroics. Advantage goes to BFX for almost clutching up and having the side selection advantage.
