The Top 2 race will probably fall in this week of LCK 2025 Rounds 3-5 when T1 and HLE have 2 different extremes.

The Top 2 LCK race between T1 and HLE may be over

With this year's LCK's new table, the teams in each table will have to meet their opponents 3 times before determining the ticket to the playoffs. In the current context, perhaps most of the League of Legends community are just waiting to see which team will rank 2 in the Legend table among the two names, HLE and T1. However, HLE has a harder schedule than competitors this week.

HLE continues to be difficult and highly likely to lose the second position in T1 when encountering genes.

Specifically, HLE will encounter gen.g again before the end of the group stage. From the Road to MSI 2025 until now, HLE has been defeated to the reigning champion MSI. Not to mention, the dripping performance of the players made HLE difficult despite earning an honorary game before Gen.G a few days ago.

If HLE continues to defeat against Gen.G, in the context of T1 winning both matches (touching two weak opponents, KT and NS), T1 will default to the second position before the last week of the Rounds 3-5 group stage. Moreover, T1 is holding self -determination when they still have a match against HLE in the last week. If the results are still good, T1 will successfully defend the second place even when losing to the gene.

T1 only needs to win 2 games against NS and KT to achieve the goal.

The rise battle was equally fierce when only DK was sure to enter the Playins round. All 3 teams Okbro, Drx and Fox have the opportunity. No exclusion will continue to have surprises anymore in this last two weeks of competition.
