The DN Freecs can not buy a series victory in the LCK at the moment. After having a seemingly unlosable lead on a scaling composition, they crumbled. BRO were calmer and more clutch in the late-game team fights. GenG, on the other hand, dismantled NS in a dominant 2-0 performance, not giving their opponents a moment to find an angle. That brings the end to Round three of the LCK.
Initial Prediction
DNF 0-2 BRO
Result
DNF 0-2 BRO
Summary
It is becoming increasingly frustrating to watch DNF. Game two encapsulated their problems. They surged to a 10k gold with a heavy scaling composition. However, their team fighting struggles continued. For six fights in a row, BRO found every angle to catch the DNF carries. How DNF allowed BRO to find Berserker and BuLLDog is a headscratcher.
Credit, at the very least, must go to BRO for having the willpower and execution to bring the game from a guaranteed loss to a 12k gold lead victory. Life was the predominant reason why DNF were in a comfortable spot, landing every hook possible on Nautilus in the early and mid-game. However, as the game progressed, his hooks put him in more danger than they did in setting up his team.

Initial Prediction
NS 0-2 GenG
Result
NS 0-2 GenG
Summary
After a crazy Rise Group series, GenG wanted none of that. They shut out NS at every turn. For every positive NS play, GenG had at least three more. The only concern for GenG from this series was Kiin’s performance on Yorick. He seemed lost on the champion. Fortunately, it is not a champion he has to play every series, so that should not create issues in the future. NS played well in the series, but GenG is just far better than them right now. NS is in a shaky position now, finding themselves falling further behind the rest of the Legend group.
