Live broadcast on February 22nd, the 2025 LCK Cup has come to the penultimate game of the playoffs today. Dplus KIA will face Generation Gaming in the loser group final!
In the second game, Generation Gaming had an advantage in three lanes again. Dplus KIA 's Anbesa + Tsar + Kaisa needed to develop and had no combat power in the early stage. They were unstoppable by Kiin 's continuous fancy dragons in team battles! Generation Gaming controlled the resources of six worms + two dragons in the early stage and took the initiative! In the mid-term, Dplus KIA didn't want Generation Gaming to take the dragon soul too easily, but they were attacked by Kiin 's Quesanti first in two consecutive team battles and had no chance of winning! Chovy 's Alola's ultimates covered three people at the beginning and could also make up for the damage. Generation Gaming took the earth dragon soul + the big dragon, snowballed and crushed Dplus KIA again to take the match point!
