LCK 2025: The Regular Season Comes to an End, The Postseason Looms

The LCK regular season for 2025 is now over. From the start of Round 3, only one team changed positions in the standings. That was Nongshim dropping from fourth to fifth in the Legend Group. Despite the chaos of the Rise Group, no positions changed. DRX and DN Freecs are the only teams not participating in the postseason. The Play-Ins Stage begins on Wednesday with Nongshim facing BRION.
