Gen.G and KT Rolster will host the "2025 LCK Roadshow" at the Suwon Convention Center in Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, on May 3 and 4, respectively.
The '2025 LCK Roadshow' is the first official LCK match of the year to be held outside the LCK Arena. It will be held in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, last year.
First of all, on May 3rd, Gen.G. will face D-Plus Kia, and on the 4th, KT and T1 will face each other in the KT Rollster Homecoming following last year.
It is worth paying attention to whether D-plus, who is losing 18 consecutive games against Gen.G, can beat Gen.G at the LCK road show and break the losing streak. D-plus lost to Gen.G. 1-2 in the game on April 13. Gen.G, who has been on a winning streak with eight consecutive wins since the first week of the LCK regular season, is by no means an easy opponent. However, in the fourth week of the regular season, although D-plus lost, both T1 and Hanwha Life e-Sports, the top-ranked competitors, had a close race to the final three sets, so a good game is expected.
On the 4th, KT will face T1. In recent records, T1 is superior to KT. T1 won both the LCK Cup, a kickoff tournament held before the opening of the league, and the second week of the LCK round on the 10th. However, it is a considerable variable that T1 is somewhat shaken as the club and fans are in conflict over the issue of player appointment. T1 won 2-1 against D-plus on the 25th, but lost 1-2 to the lower-ranked team, OK Savings Bank Brion, on the 27th, showing ups and downs in its performance. KT also won the T1 home ground game last year. Therefore, predicting the outcome does not seem easy.
Prior to the LCK road show, Gen.G is set to play the final match of the first round against KT on May 1. Gen.G has been winning with overwhelming set gains and losses in the previous eight games, and if it defeats KT, it will set a record of winning the fifth round of LCK. Currently, Gen.G has won four rounds side by side with T1.
Of course, it is not expected to be an easy game for Gen.G. Gen.G finished the first round of the LCK summer season with a victory last year and failed to achieve the season's victory by losing to KT 1-2 in a situation where it was aiming to win the second round.
Meanwhile, in the fourth week of the first round, D-Plus' bottom liner 'Aiming' Kim Haram was selected for the spot of 'Gold King'. Sitting at the gold king for the second week in a row following the last three weeks, he once again showed off his prowess in the 2024 'annual gold king'. Kim Haram received about 3,191 gold more than T1's bottom liner 'Gumayushi' Lee Min-hyung, who came in second with a total of 93,987 gold (15,664.5 gold on average).
Woori Bank, the LCK title sponsor, selects the player with the highest average gold acquisition per week as the gold king and pays pure silver coins. The player with the highest number of weekly gold king awards will be selected as the annual gold king at the LCK Awards, and the gold bar will be awarded. Also, find a gold king where fans predict who will be selected as the gold king themselves!' The event is in progress.
You can participate through the tab 'LCK' in Woori Bank's Won Banking app 'ESports Hall', and a polaroid photo with the autographed signature of the Gold King winner of the week will be presented through a lottery.
