LCK 2025: NS Versus BRO Game Four – BRO Surge to a Tense Game Five

BRO managed to get one game back after early mistakes from Gideon and the NS bot lane. Does BRO have what it takes to bring us to Silver Scrapes in the first LCK postseason series? The game was back-and-forth for a long time, but eventually BRO emerged on top with Morgan and Croco leading the way, bringing the series to game five.

LCK 2025: AP Champions in Bot Lane

With both teams focusing on AD champions in the solo lanes, they opted for AP carry champions. The traditional Ziggs pick came out from BRO, while NS chose the uncommon Viktor pick. With the teams going further into their champion pools, the synergy between the compositions is not as strong.

NS Composition

• Kingen – Jayce
• Gideon – Nocturne
• Calix – Yone
• Jiwoo – Viktor
• Lehends – Blitzcrank

BRO Composition

• Morgan – Jax
• Croco – Maokai
• Clozer – Tristana
• Hype – Ziggs
• Pollu – Rakan

LCK 2025: The Tank Maokai Reigns Supreme

The early game had little action, with both teams testing the waters. It would be Croco’s Maokai that had the first impact on game four. He got an early lead for Morgan’s Jax. His build path allowed him to bait NS’s aggression. With Morgan ahead of the Kingen’s Jayce, concerns for NS’s composition rose.

LCK 2025: Pollu’s Mistakes Give NS a Chance

Pollu being on the wrong side of the map and getting hooked often allows NS a way back into the game. The mechanics of his engagements were also disastrous, missing out on vital kills for BRO to break open the game. Fortunately, those were calibration moments, and he locked in for the rest of the game.

LCK 2025: Croco, Morgan, and Pollu Give Clozer and Hype Space

BRO got their first advantage after killing Calix’s Yone and moved towards Atakhan. Croco secured the smite battle win, and Morgan caught three members of NS. From there, BRO’s engagement angles and timing were perfect, allowing Clozer and Hype to one-shot Jiwoo’s Viktor on numerous occasions. BRO never allowed NS to get back into the game, and they brought the series to Silver Scrapes.
