After BRO failed to gain any ground in game one of the LCK Play-Ins, they looked to recover on the red side. They looked more competitive in this game, notably Clozer, doing his best to win the game. Unfortunately for him, the rest of his team was too far behind, and they could not help him in team fights. One more game stands between NS and a 3-0 sweep.
LCK 2025: Mysterious Drafting from Both Teams
Trundle has been a blind pick champion for a while now in the LCK. However, he has rarely looked dominant in those situations. Teams being able to draft around it make it easy to counter. However, NS decided to draft into it by picking Alistar and opening up a Pollu’s Braum for the last pick.
NS Composition
- Kingen – Aatrox
- Gideon – Wukong
- Calix – Ryze
- Jiwoo – Corki
- Lehends – Alistar
BRO Composition
- Morgan – Ambessa
- Croco – Trundle
- Clozer – Aurora
- Hype – Lucian
- Pollu – Braum
LCK 2025: Sidelanes Winning for NS
The laning phase for the top and bottom lanes looked disastrous for BRO. NS played out the lanes better and got significant advantages. The gank from Gideon and Calix ensured that NS built more on their bot lane advantage. The Grubs fight went in favor of NS thanks to Calix arriving first.
LCK 2025: Lehends and NS Are Everywhere
No matter what BRO tried to do, NS were always there to match. BRO managed to kill Kingen’s Aatrox, but NS responded in time to kill Croco and Morgan for the play. There was a time when NS made a play on the Top and Bot lanes, winning on both sides.
LCK 2025: Lehends Caught Twice, Giving Some Hope
NS managed to catch Lehends out twice to gain some footing in the game. The kills going over to Clozer gave him a chance to carry for BRO in the latter stages of the game. NS is too far ahead in the team fights, despite the value from Clozer on the side of BRO. The difference between the Top and Bot Lanes was too much for BRO to overcome as they fell in game two. The Ryze value against a short-range composition was significant for Calix, managing to match Clozer’s fight value.

Can BRO Reverse Sweep?
With BRO struggling two games in a row, the series looks to be over. BRO still has a chance to reverse sweep, but the likelihood is low. Does BRO have what it takes to overcome early series struggles and extend the series losing streak for NS?
