LCK 2025: Week 14 Day Three NS Makes T1 Bleed While DK Defeats DRX To Secure First Seed

T1 seemed unbeatable for any team that was not GenG in the LCK. NS proved that it was false today by dominating game two and coming close in the third. DK and DRX played the longest game in Rounds 3-5 of the LCK, surpassing 50 minutes. They surpassed the longest game by almost a minute, which happened in their Round 3 series against each other.

LCK 2025: T1 Versus Nongshim

Initial Prediction

T1 2-0 NS

Result

T1 2-1 NS

Summary

NS made T1 bleed today and became the second team to take a game off of the LCK giants. The impressive part of the victory was that they dominated from start to finish, never allowing T1 a chance to recover. They gave T1 some of their medicine. Game three seemed to be slipping away from T1 after a great early game. The scaling composition with Jinx had managed to gain its footing. Doran, who had an impressive early and mid-game on Jax, stood up tall for T1, finding the flash stun to crush NS’s hopes.

T1 managed to survive the scare from NS, but losing the game means they are behind Hanwha Life in terms of game differential. NS only has two more series to earn their spot in the LCK Playoffs.

LCK 2025: Dplus Versus DRX

Initial Prediction

DK 2-1 DRX

Result

DK 2-1 DRX

Summary

At the start of Round 3, many expected DK to finish first in the Rise group. Their record was far better than the rest of the teams, and they are meant to be one of the best LCK teams. They stumbled along the way, and with two weeks remaining in the regular season, they have finally secured the first-place spot. They had to work for the series victory today.

DK has shown little improvement, and with their current form, it seems unlikely that they will qualify for the World Championship. Beryl is an enigma on this roster, simultaneously losing and winning the game for DK. DRX’s form, on the other hand, is improving as a team, and if results go their way, they have a chance to sneak into the top three. However, that requires BRO to lose to DNF tomorrow.
