A Game of Thrones leak from two weeks ago has been proven accurate following the airing of episode five, leaving fans both impressed and disappointed. The now-deleted Reddit post, shared on 1 May by user /u/throwaway5873421, correctly predicted key events including Euron Greyjoy killing Rhaegal and Cersei Lannister ordering Missandei's execution.
The leak also accurately forecast several plot points from the penultimate episode. According to the post, Daenerys executes Varys, launches a one-sided assault on King's Landing, and refuses Tyrion's pleas for mercy. Tyrion frees Jaime to try to get Cersei out of the city, and King's Landing is destroyed in the battle. Drogon burns Euron's fleet, the Hound fights his brother and both die, and Jaime kills Euron but is mortally wounded, eventually dying with Cersei.
The only deaths not predicted were those of Harry Strickland and Qyburn. The leaker also shared alleged details of the finale, which have not been disclosed, but given their track record, many fans believe the entire ending has been spoiled.
The Game of Thrones finale airs next Sunday in the US on HBO, and is simulcast on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV in the UK.
