DK won the first game of the series, as they usually do in the LCK. Will the storylines continue in game two, where they struggle to maintain momentum? That was the case for DK in this second game. BRO picked away at the DK composition until they built a significant advantage and ended the game. The teams are tied up, needing two more wins to advance in the LCK Play-Ins.
LCK 2025: Nerfed Varus Picked by DK
During the regular season, Varus had the highest priority out of all the bot lane champions. The nerfs to Varus have significantly dropped that priority. Yunara has become the most-banned AD carry champion. DK pair the nerfed Varus alongside the pick-focused duo of Vi Ahri.
BRO Composition
- Morgan – Renekton
- Croco – Naafiri
- Clozer – Taliyah
- Hype – Jhin
- Pollu – Nautilus
DK Composition
- Siwoo – Sion
- Lucid – Vi
- ShowMaker – Ahri
- Aiming – Varus
- BeryL – Rell
LCK 2025: Pollu Anchors the Early Game
Nautilus’s identity is looking for hooks on every target you see. It often ends in the Nautilus player dying multiple times in games. Pollu consistently looked for and landed hooks to set up his team for success. The composition is ideal for the Nautilus, as soon as he landed a hook, his team followed up with CC to lock down a target.
LCK 2025: BRO Wins the Crowd Control War
Out of the ten champions on the rift in game two, nine of them had an ability with Crowd Control. The only person without was Croco on Naafiri. It did not stop BRO from seeing a champion and preventing them from moving with their lockdown. Even Siwoo on Sion was not allowed to play the game, with multiple Crowd Control abilities landing on him. The picks from BRO built them a vital lead that they carried through to end the game before the 28-minute mark.

DK’s Game Two Struggles Continue
DK could not continue their momentum in the second game of the series. An aspect that has plagued them in 2025. BRO’s crowd control-focused composition takes down DK to tie the series at 1-1. Who will move themselves to match point and be on the brink of advancing to the final match of the Play-Ins?
