LCK 2025: T1 Versus DK Game Three – Oner Desperate to Go to Worlds

T1 was at their best in game two, but it was enough to get them over the line. Oner carried T1 to victory and tied up the LCK Playoffs Series. Oner continued his dominant form in the third game of the series. Somehow, he managed to eclipse his performance on the Jarvan IV. T1 ran the game from start to finish and is now one victory away from qualifying for the World Championship.

LCK 2025: Doran Entrusted with Kennen

After a disastrous performance in game one, Doran was placed on tank duty. The win on Sion seems to have restored his confidence, with the team giving him Kennen. The champion is feast or famine. If Doran falls behind, he will struggle to get value, but while ahead, DK will have a problem on their hands.

DK Composition

• Siwoo – Aatrox
• Lucid – Wukong
• ShowMaker – Viktor
• Aiming – Kai’Sa
• BeryL – Neeko

T1 Composition

• Doran – Kennen
• Oner – Pantheon
• Faker – Orianna
• Gumayusi – Xayah
• Keria – Lulu

LCK 2025: Oner’s Confidence Strikes Early

Pantheon has been a contentious pick in recent months. Many either see him as broken or useless. Oner decided he would be proactive in the early game. He visited every lane, at least once, often burning flashes from the DK players. He was always there at the vital times to counter DK’s plays, extending T1’s lead. The danger with one champion being ahead is that if he dies, the opposition can recover. Oner got Doran ahead and never gave DK a chance to get the shutdown gold.

LCK 2025: DK Do Not Give Up

Despite being far behind, DK did not go out quietly. Their composition has to dive the opposition. Given the lead that T1 has, DK can not kill anyone without losing more members. Faker’s build, Gumayusi on Xayah, and the ever-present Keria on Lulu made it impossible for DK to oneshot anyone. Even when they caught Faker alone, he lived long enough for the rest of T1 to show up and end the game.

Player of the Game – Oner

Oner On Monstrous Form

Oner is almost single-handedly carrying T1 towards a spot at the World Championship. He should be given priority in the draft to keep carrying T1 in these games. T1 is starting to ramp up in this LCK series. One factor to keep in mind is that we have been here before with these two teams. T1 were 2-1 in their previous series.
