LCK 2025: T1 Versus DK Game Two – Oner Carries T1 to Victory
- LCK 2025: Week 14 Day Four HLE Falter While DNF Dominate BRO

T1 struggled to find their footing in game one of their LCK Playoffs series against DK. They needed to make a comeback to prevent going 2-0 down. Doran’s steal on DK’s Chemtech Soul gave T1’s composition enough time to hit their scaling breakpoints. From there, the damage from Gumayusi’s Sivir and Oner’s frontline on Jarvan secured the victory for T1. The series is now all tied up between the teams.

LCK 2025: BeryL Locks In Janna

Janna is rarely picked, but when she is, she is there to respond to opposition dive champions. T1 has two of those in the form of Jarvan IV and Alistar. We have seen BeryL play Janna during the LCK to varying degrees of success. Can he keep his backline alive against T1’s frontline? The concern in the draft is that Sivir Sion outscale DK’s composition.

T1 Composition

  • Doran – Sion
  • Oner – Jarvan IV
  • Faker – Taliyah
  • Gumayusi – Sivir
  • Keria – Alistar

DK Composition

  • Siwoo – Rumble
  • Lucid – Xin Zhao
  • ShowMaker – Ahri
  • Aiming – Lucian
  • BeryL – Janna

LCK 2025: Doran’s Drake Steal Stalls the Game

The first three Drakes went in DK’s favor. T1 was not in a position to contest any of them. On DK’s Chemtech Soul fight at 22 minutes, both junglers died. Anyone left alive could secure the Drake. It would be Doran’s Decimating Smash that got the final hit to deny the Soul. While T1 lost the fight, losing three members to one, that gave them enough time to scale into the game.

LCK 2025: Oner Gets the First Tier One Jarvan IV Pentakill

With T1’s scaling composition online, they could play out team fights better than DK. Oner managed to survive long enough with the power of Sundered Sky and Triumph to give T1 the Baron and their first significant gold lead of the series. DK managed to win on Atakhan, but that was their only victory. The final fight saw DK take down Gumayusi, but with Oner still alive, he cleaned out DK. He got the first pentakill for Jarvan IV in tier one regions, the third in professional League of Legends history.

Game Two Ratings

T1

  • Doran – 8
  • Oner – 9
  • Faker – 7
  • Gumayusi – 8
  • Keria – 7

DK

  • Siwoo – 6
  • Lucid – 7
  • ShowMaker – 4
  • Aiming – 4
  • BeryL – 5

T1 Ties Up the Series

T1 went back to their roots, playing team fights with Faker on Taliyah. They managed to tie up the LCK Playoffs decider series against DK. The teams were in the same spot last time. T1 won game three, followed by a DK win. Will the script remain the same today?
