The Protect Diable composition failed for BFX in the second game of the LCK Playoff series. The teams are now tied at 1-1. In game three of the series, the KT rollercoaster made a comeback. After KT secured an early lead, mistakes from Cuzz and their botlane gave BFX a lead. Cuzz and Bdd combined to carry KT through the mid-game and eventually closed out to take a 2-1 series lead.
Riot recently buffed Sylas to make him viable in the jungle role. He has been a controversial pick, often getting little value in-game. The pressure is on Cuzz in this game to carry on as a champion that seems out of place in the draft. At least they have Bdd to help carry alongside him.
BFX Composition
KT Composition
KT managed to get ahead in the game, with gold on Cuzz and Bdd. Those two being ahead is ideal for KT as they are the two they need to carry the game. However, VicLa managed to punish the KT botlane to get two kills and the mid-tier one tower. The play should have ended there, but Cuzz tried to kill Tibbers, which led to him dying and BFX getting two more tier two towers. The lead for KT evaporated, and they must now play from behind.
To restore their lead, KT targeted Clear in the side lanes. With two kills going over to Bdd, they had a chance to recover in the game. In a four versus four situation, with Clear having teleport, BFX forced Baron. Cuzz’s monstrous engagement, combined with Bdd’s repositioning, dismantled BFX. They won the fight and secured the Baron. From there, KT secured a significant lead, and BFX was unable to stop Cuzz and Bdd from winning the third game of the series.

Player of the Game – Bdd
With the combination of Cuzz and Bdd, KT has earned themselves a 2-1 series lead. They are now one game win away from advancing to Round 2 of the LCK Playoffs and moving closer to qualification for the World Championship. Will BFX respond like DK did yesterday against T1?
