One series victory stands between NS and BFX for a spot in the LCK playoffs. As the only representative from the Legend Group, NS is the favorite to emerge victorious. However, BFX is on the rise after defeating DK. BFX dominates the draft again in game one of the series and dismantles the dangerous Yunara pick that teams have banned since her release.
LCK 2025: Yunara Left Up in Game One
Yunara has been the best Bot Lane champion since her release into League of Legends. She is banned in the majority of games. Teams only leave her up if they have a plan against her. BFX left her open in game one of the series and picked Wukong, Annie, and Rumble in response to burst the Yunara.
NS Composition
- Kingen – Galio
- Gideon – Nocturne
- Calix – Orianna
- Jiwoo – Yunara
- Lehends – Alistar
BFX Composition
- Clear – Rumble
- Raptor – Wukong
- VicLa – Annie
- Diable – Corki
- Kellin – Rakan
LCK 2025: Kingen Enters Heroically
NS and BFX battled over Blue Side Raptors. The skirmish looked to be in BFX’s favor until Kingen showed up with Galio’s ultimate. His crowd control ensured that NS would emerge victorious in the skirmish. The advantage they gained from this play allowed them to control the early game, and it also gave Jiwoo an advantage.
LCK 2025: NS Mistakes Give BFX Control
NS, with a significant gold lead at their backs, played carelessly. Two mistakes gave BFX a route back into the game. Jiwoo got caught in mid-wave, followed by Gideon and Lehends invading the enemy Raptors. Their mistake forced Jiwoo to come for the assist, resulting in all three players dying. Most of the kills went to Diable, giving BFX a win condition.
LCK 2025: The Diable Win Condition
After all the gold got funneled to Diable, BFX took over the game. Every fight went in their favor handily. The fed, tanky Kingen was no match for the damage from Diable. Any NS member who came close to the fed Corki disintegrated. The LCK rookie of the split played with his usual confidence, even baiting Gideon to use Nocturne’s ultimate on him. BFX won the game with no deaths on Diable.
Game One Ratings
NS
- Kingen – 6
- Gideon – 4
- Calix – 6
- Jiwoo – 4
- Lehends – 4
BFX
- Clear – 7
- Raptor – 8
- VicLa – 6
- Diable – 8
- Kellin – 8
Player of the Game – Diable
Giving Yunara Worked for BFX
Giving the Yunara over to NS worked perfectly in BFX’s favor. The single target composition from BFX shut down every play that NS had once they wrestled back control. The draft issues for NS are already there with a Nocturne and Orianna draft alongside Yunara. NS needs to tighten up their drafting to have a better chance against BFX.
