HLE is still not close enough to take down GenG in a series. The loss means they drop below T1 in the LCK standings for the first time since the LCK’s return. DN plays spoiler again against BRO, maintaining a positive series record. A victory for BRO would have all but guaranteed a spot in the LCK Play-Ins, but they must now wait until next week to decide their fate.
GenG Holds Strong, HLE Slips Below T1 as DNF Spoils BRO’s Play-In Dreams
LCK 2025: Hanwha Life Versus GenG
Initial Prediction
HLE 0-2 GenG
Result
HLE 1-2 GenG
Summary
HLE wins a game in two consecutive series against GenG. They ran the show in the second game, with Zeus leading the team on Ambessa. Unfortunately, they looked far worse than GenG in their losses, struggling to keep up with the macro and team-fighting powerhouse. The scorelines for Zeus in the series are not a clear indication of his performance, as his Gwen dealt significant damage in team fights, and his Gragas was key to Viper getting fed. Duro continues to impress for GenG, being the best player on the rift. HLE now drops below T1 for the first time since Week 1 of the LCK.

LCK 2025: BRION Versus DN Freecs
Initial Prediction
BRO 2-1 DNF
Result
BRO 1-2 DNF
Summary
The Rise Group unpredictability continues. DNF completely dominated the series, with only a couple of mishaps in game two, which gave BRO the lead. Croco and Clozer were instrumental in punishing those mistakes and sending the series to a third game. Besides that, DNF was a cohesive unit led by Pyosik. BuLLDoG and Life contributed heavily alongside their jungler to ensure the series victory. With the loss, BRO remain one series ahead of DRX, and their match against them on the final day of the regular season could prove pivotal.
