LCK 2025: Week 12 Day Three Dplus Falter While HLE Remains Safe

Whenever you think Dplus is clawing their way back to competing with the top teams in the LCK, a day like today happens. They threw away leads against FearX, and that gap is closing, with DK no longer guaranteed 1st in the Rise Group. Another crucial victory for HLE comes despite some woes, allowing them to stay ahead of T1 in the LCK Legend group standings.

LCK 2025: FearX Versus Dplus

Initial Prediction

BFX 1-2 DK

Result

BFX 2-0 DK

Summary

BFX surprised everyone and defeated DK 2-0 in the series today. The result sees them move closer to DK in the standings. Clear needs to get a shout-out for his performance in this series as he remained stable in game two, while putting BFX on his back in game one. He drew so much attention while dealing significant damage, which gave his team room to win fights. DK had the advantage in game two, looking to send the series to a third, but continuous mistakes from Aiming and Beryl gave BFX a route back into the game. Raptor deserves plaudits for finding the angles to win the series.

LCK 2025: KT Rolster Versus Hanwha Life

Initial Prediction

KT 0-2 HLE

Result

KT 0-2 HLE

Summary

The series was far closer than what was predicted at the start of the day. Mishaps from HLE allowed KT to find leads during the series. Zeus was simultaneously a carry and an inter in game one. He either had the ideal engagement or was way too far in front of his team. It often baited Zeka into fights, which he could not win.

Viper remained dominant as always, outputting high amounts of damage on Yunara and Kai’Sa. The carries for KT remained stalwart in the series, but it was PerfecT, Cuzz, and Way who let them down too many times. Once HLE found a lead, they took over, even up against a Hextech Soul in game one. HLE now moves one step closer to securing 2nd, after already qualifying for the playoffs.
