Game 1 was a clear example of just how unlucky Freecs can be. Of course, not everything can be blamed on luck, but they had a promising start. They secured clean kills with no response from FEARX, controlled the map, worked around objectives, and even had a gold lead. But it all fell apart in a single fight. First, they gave up a dragon and lost Nocturne in the process. Then, just a couple of minutes later, Freecs went for Baron — only to have it stolen and their entire team wiped. That was the end of Game 1, with FEARX taking the win.

Game 2 was much closer, and this time Freecs looked more confident. They had better control over objectives, won several key ganks and skirmishes, and seemed on track to even the series. But history repeated itself — they lost Baron again, followed by a mid-lane fight where FEARX came out on top and marched straight down mid to end the game.

With this win, FEARX improve their record to 7–12. Meanwhile, Freecs now hold the worst score in the entire LCK at 1–18. After this loss, their chances of making it to the Playoffs are nearly gone. The team would have to win almost every remaining match to avoid elimination from the tournament.

LCK Summer 2025 Round 3–5 will run from July 23 to August 31. This stage will determine which teams qualify directly for the LCK Playoffs and which ones will have to go through the Play-In phase. The tournament features a prize pool of ₩562,500,000 KRW (approximately $407,919 USD). But more importantly, the top three teams will earn spots at the biggest event of the year — the 2025 World Championship. The stakes are high, and every team is aiming for victory.
