LKI 2025 Finals Preview 🏆

The stage is officially set.

After weeks of chaos, receipts, and season-long toxicity, we’ve reached the moment every manager dreams about — the LKI Finals. In Episode 15, we break down the ultimate showdown: Sal/Novak vs Junior.

We preview the matchup from every angle — roster strengths, key players, hidden landmines, and the paths that led each team here. Junior’s wild, unprepared-turned-elite season continues as he chases his first ever LKI Championship, while Sal/Novak look to finish the job and cement their run with their first title.

And of course… we address the elephant in the room. Angelo’s group-chat antics, the toxic energy, and how one phone may have altered the fate of an entire season.

This is the calm before the storm.

This is the Finals Preview.
