Live broadcast on September 3rd, the 2025 LCK has reached the playoff qualifying stage. Today is the first qualifying match. OKSavingsBank BRION from the Nirvana group will face Nongshim RedForce from the Summit group!
In game five, Croco picked jungler Sylas, but his initial tower dives proved ineffective. Conversely, Nongshim RedForce thrived both in tower dives and counter-ganking. At 14 minutes, Lehends , despite using a gem to initiate a teamfight and taking damage, survived. Nongshim RedForce 's support killed both the enemy jungler and support, and after pushing the tower and taking the dragon, they had a 5,000 gold lead. In the following game, Nongshim RedForce used a combination of gem ultimate, Zeli's ultimate, Galio's ultimate, and Vi's ultimate to achieve consecutive gold gains. Nongshim RedForce took the Baron and demolished the top lane high ground, creating a gold gap of over 10,000 before ending the game! They immediately sent Bros. into the loser's bracket of the play-in tournament!

Match Details:
[3:49] Croco 's Sylas ganks, and Jiwoo 's Zeli's maneuvering takes too much time! Although Croco 's Sylas still kills Zeli and takes first blood, Dawn is also replaced, and GIDEON 's Wei arrives to hold Sylas! Nongshim RedForce 's 1 for 2!
[6:05] GIDEON 's Wei ganked the top lane, and together with the top support, they stayed in Pollu 's Dawn ! Meanwhile, OKSavingsBank BRION tried to cross the tower in the bottom lane, but was saved by Calix 's Galio ultimate! Croco 's Sylas was lost for nothing! These two waves of Nongshim RedForce were equivalent to a 0-for-2 trade!
[8:32] OKSavingsBank BRION takes the little dragon, Nongshim RedForce takes the three worms!
[12:49] Encounter in the jungle, Lehends uses his jewel to grant his ultimate, and with his teammates chasing and TPing around, he forces the OKSavingsBank BRION jungler and support to retreat! Clozer uses his ultimate to hit three enemies but doesn't do any damage! Calix and Galio use their ultimate to protect their teammates and retreat!
[14:10] Lehends ' gem in the river was first to open, but he took the damage and didn't die at all. Croco 's Sylas was immediately counterattacked by the four supporting Nongshim RedForce players. Kingen 's Gnar turned into a giant to hold Sylas! This was a 0-for-2 trade for Nongshim RedForce . Nongshim RedForce destroyed the next tower and took the second dragon! Then they took the Rift Herald! 5K gold difference!
[16:38] The moment Nongshim RedForce used the vanguard to destroy the tower, they used Wei 's headlock to kill Pollu Dawn , and then they worked together to destroy OKSavingsBank BRION 's second tower!
[19:20] In the jungle, Lehends ' gem directly assisted Jiwoo 's mountain-climbing Zeli, who instantly killed OKSavingsBank BRION 's jungler and support! In the final game, Hype 's Jhin was locked in a headlock, but was killed by GIDEON 's Vi! Clozer 's ultimate and Cassiopeia's damage were enough to deal damage, but it didn't kill them! Nongshim RedForce retreated safely and took the third dragon!
[21:46] Nongshim RedForce takes down Thorn Ertahan with the advantage of vision!
[22:22] GIDEON 's Vi flashed to lock the enemy team, and Lehends 's gem ultimate skill was used to directly attack the back row! Calix 's Galio also used his ultimate to launch a control chain! Instant kill! This wave of Nongshim RedForce traded 0 for 3, demolishing OKSavingsBank BRION 's top lane high ground! Croco , who stole Gnar's ultimate, hit three back with Sylas, but it really didn't do any damage! Nongshim RedForce pushed down a front tower, and the four of them wanted to retreat with low health! OKSavingsBank BRION waited for Quesanti to revive and TP around the back, but only saved one! 12,000 gold difference!
[25:48] Nongshim RedForce takes the Baron, and the four Bros players force their way to Calix and Galio, but they can't kill them instantly! Nongshim RedForce takes the Baron, and Lehends , protected by his jewel ultimate, immediately unleashes his ultimate, unleashing an explosive AOE! Calix and Galio even turn around and use their ultimate to provide cover. Nongshim RedForce defeats them one by one, achieving a 0-for-5 team wipe against Bros, winning the game and sending their opponents into the loser's bracket!
