LCK 2025: Week 13 Day Five HLE Has Lost Their Second Place Lead While BRO Stabilizes

Hanwha Life moves closer to challenging GenG and T1, but not close enough. The one-game victory may prove vital at the end of the regular season, as it is what keeps them ahead of T1 for the moment. Dplus’ mistakes continue to be their downfall as they fall 2-0 to BRO. The victory is pivotal in keeping BRO ahead of the chasing DRX, as they finish the LCK week with a two-series buffer.

LCK 2025: Hanwha Life Versus GenG

Initial Prediction

HLE 0-2 GenG

Result

HLE 1-2 GenG

Summary

HLE became the first team besides GenG and T1 to win a game against the two teams. Positive signs are evident for HLE this week, with the team coming close to winning a game against T1 and then beating GenG. However, they are always a step below GenG and T1. In their wins, GenG dominated the games. They are the best team to get an advantage and then slowly bleed a team out of the game. Duro continues his exceptional form, often being the leading factor behind GenG’s early leads and team fight wins. Heading into the final two weeks of the regular season, only one map differential separates HLE and T1.

LCK 2025: BRION Versus Dplus

Initial Prediction

BRO 2-1 DK

Result

BRO 2-0 DK

Summary

Predicting the Rise Group in the LCK is nearly impossible. Each team has a chance to beat the other, depending on who shows up on the day. This time, it was BRO who dominated the series against DK. Special mention must go to Croco for setting up his team for success in lane and team fights. He was always finding Aiming in game one to deny DK’s Sivir from carrying the game. On the side of DK, the same mistakes continue to plague them. Their coordination in team fights is widely off. There does not seem to be a decision on who to target and when to fight.
