LCK 2025: Week 12 Day Four BRO Extends Their Lead While T1 Secure a Playoff Berth

As we near the end of the regular season, every series matters. BRION secured the 2-1 victory, giving them a two-series gap between them and DRX. NS’s woes in the Legend group continue, despite their improvements. T1’s dominance in the series earned them a guaranteed spot in the playoffs. GenG, Hanwha Life, and now T1 have secured a LCK playoff spot to no one’s surprise.

LCK 2025: DRX Versus BRION

Initial Prediction

DRX 1-2 BRO

Result

DRX 1-2 BRO

Summary

BRO recovered from a disastrous game one, which saw them crumble on Atakhan. The objective has proved to be a significant weakness for Rise group teams in the LCK. Everyone from BRO stepped up in games two and three to earn the 2-1 series victory. Pollu’s Blitzcrank came as a surprise as he landed hook after hook to put pressure on DRX. Andil struggled to find his footing in the series, often being the target for BRO to kill. Hype’s past couple of series have been struggles for the AD carry, but he remained stable throughout the series.

Initial Prediction

NS 0-2 T1

Result

NS 0-2 T1

Summary

As the series goes by, NS continues to improve. However, they are met with some of the best teams in the world. No matter what NS did in this series, it was never enough to slow the T1 freight train. Oner getting caught out happened for a second series in a row, after his mistakes against GenG, which cost T1. Keria was running the rift, getting all three lanes ahead in game one, and always found kills for his teammates in the second game. Doran’s Ambessa destroyed NS, as he managed to buffer every Hostile Takeover from Lehends. He had one int moment, which saw Jiwoo get two kills, but it had little impact on the result.
