The LCK saw its first six-game day since week 10. Both series played a significant role in the standings. KT’s victory over NS almost guarantees a Playoff spot. NS must now defeat KT and one of the top three to have a chance. DRX kept their hopes for a play-in spot alive by getting their third successive series victory over FearX this year. DRX are now within two series victories of equalising with BRION.
Initial Prediction
NS 1-2 KT
Result
NS 1-2 KT
Summary
NS got their first game win in the Legend group. They have struggled throughout the year. Even in this series against their closest competition in the group, they looked second-best. Their game victory looked shaky, and in the other two, KT dominated the majority of the game. NS must now defeat one of the top three in the Legend Group and beat KT in their final series to qualify for the LCK playoffs.

Initial Prediction
DRX 0-2 BFX
Result
DRX 2-1 BFX
Summary
BFX has managed to beat everyone in the Rise Group except for DRX. Both times they have faced off, DRX has emerged as the 2-1 victor. BFX continues to live and die by the we will fight everything mantra. They blew their lead while looking for ways to extend their advantage in game one. They could have played stably to guarantee the victory.
The third game was on a knife-edge until BFX decided to force the issue in unwinnable fights, giving DRX an unassailable lead. In recent weeks, VicLa’s performance has improved, but today was a step back for the midlaner. His mistakes often lead to DRX getting advantages where they should not have. Clear, who has been BFX’s best player, had his worst series since the return of the LCK.
