LCK 2025: NS Versus BRO Game Five – NS Shuts Down BRO Hope

LCK 2025: Lehends Brings the Taric While Crocks Locks in Sylas Jungle

Sylas Jungle received buffs in the interim between the end of the LCK regular season and the start of the postseason. Croco is the first player in the region this year to play the champion. The overall value in the draft did not seem high, with the best ult to steal being Gnar. Lehends’s Taric shut down any potential Sylas value despite it being picked before Sylas.

NS Composition

• Kingen – Gnar
• Gideon – Vi
• Calix – Galio
• Jiwoo – Zeri
• Lehends – Taric

BRO Composition

• Morgan – K’Sante
• Croco – Sylas
• Clozer- Cassiopeia
• Hype – Jhin
• Pollu – Leona

LCK 2025: Decision Making Falters for BRO

The Jhin Leona from Hype and Pollu garnered early lane advantages. BRO tried to push those further with a dive onto Jiwoo. Their dive execution was sloppy, allowing NS to emerge from the dive ahead, despite Jiwoo dying. Pollu caught on a wave pushing out, and another failed dive on Jiwoo, evaporated any advantage for BRO.

LCK 2025: NS Play Stable to Close out Game Give

With the advantages gifted to them by BRO, NS dominated. Similar to the first game of the series, NS shut out any chance for BRO to come back in the series. They did not take fights that would give BRO a chance. The Cassiopeia from Clozer remained relevant, but given the scaling aspect of the champion, it was not able to contribute enough in team fights.

NS See Off the Reverse Sweep

After a dominant start to the series, NS were shocked by the BRO comeback. They managed to restore their advantage in the final game after mistakes from BRO.

The winner faces NS, while the loser battles BRO in a knockout match.
