LCK 2025: Week 12 Day Two DNF Finally Win While GenG Restore First Place

DNF has been chasing a series victory for months now, and they are finally rewarded. It was the most cohesive series from the tenth team in the LCK. The addition of Quantum gave them much-needed coordination between Jungle and Support. GenG returned to their spot as the best team in the LCK by thrawting T1. Chovy takes the lead over Faker in the head-to-head. With another regular season series and more likely to follow in the Playoffs, anything can happen.

LCK 2025: DRX Versus DN Freecs

Initial Prediction

DRX 2-0 DNF

Result

DRX 1-2 DNF

Summary

DNF secured their first series win since the LCK returned. It was the cleanest play we have seen from them in a long time. The loss reminded us why this team had one series victory beforehand. Pyosik got caught in awful positions too many times. Berserker on Yunara is a champion we might need to see banned in the future, as it gives him too much agency to click forward. For DRX, it is a disappointing performance, which sees them start to fall further away from the Play-Ins spots.

LCK 2025: GenG Versus T1

Initial Prediction

GenG 2-1 T1

Result

GenG 2-1 T1

Summary

The first game ended up as a blowout victory for T1. They built early game advantages and carried those throughout. GenG rarely put a foot wrong, but T1 were just dominant. The rest of the series was almost all GenG. T1 developed some leads in the early games. Mistakes from T1 gave GenG an inch, which allowed them to take over.. You can never give GenG anything, as they will run away with the game. Credit needs to go to Canyon in game three for recovering from a horrible early deficit. HLE breathed a sigh of relief because a T1 win would have put pressure on them to win most of the series against T1 and GenG.
