All teams qualified for 2023 LoL World Championship

The 2023 World Championship field is slowly taking shape as leagues from North America and EMEA to Korea, China, and all across the world finish off their most recent seasons. This marks the pointy end of the League of Legends competitive cycle. This year, Worlds will descend on South Korea for the first time since 2018, when Invictus Gaming became the first-ever Chinese world champions. League’s premier event looks very different this year, with Riot Games rubberstamping several format changes ranging from the introduction of best of threes to a Swiss-style stage and more bracket-based play. Worlds 2023 is been penned in for an Oct. 10 start date, which is a little later than the standard September click-off. The play-ins and group stages will be held in Seoul before the tournament shifts to Busan for finals. Seoul’s 17,000-capacity Gocheok Sky Dome will be hosting the grand finals. When the premier event finally begins in late October we will have 22 League teams locked in and ready to battle for history at the 13th edition of one of the most illustrious tournaments in all esports. That will include four representatives each from heavyweight regions like China and Korea, between three and four from NA and EMEA, and a host of Cinderella hopefuls.

Trayectoria como gamer y entrenador

Debutó como sustituto en octubre de 2013 con el equipo NaJin Black Sword, pero no jugó ningún juego hasta la final de ZOTAC NLB Winter 2013-2014, donde Sword perdió ante CJ Entus Blaze. Después de eso, dejó el equipo y en febrero se mudó a Brasil para jugar con Keyd Stars.

El primer torneo importante del equipo fue la Riot Brazilian Champion League 2014, donde Keyd ocupó el primer lugar en la temporada regular y llegó a la final donde venció a PaiN Gaming para ganar el torneo. Keyd se clasificó para la final regional de la temporada 2014 de Brasil, pero perdió en las semifinales ante KaBuM! e-Sports.. Aproximadamente una semana después, Winged dejó a Keyd Stars.

Con el equipo Jin Air asistió a SBENU Champions Summer 2015, pero ocupó el sexto lugar en general, ganando 10 puntos en el circuito y clasificando para la próxima temporada de LCK, pero apenas perdiendo los playoffs. El equipo fue sembrado en la primera ronda de las Finales Regionales de Corea de la Temporada 2015 y llegó a la final, pero lamentablemente perdieron ante KT Rolster.

Comenzando la división de primavera de LCK 2016, Jin Air se mantuvo en el segundo lugar solo detrás de los Tigres ROX, pero cayó al cuarto al final de la temporada. Aun clasificando para los Playoffs de primavera, vencieron a los Freeree de Afreeca antes de caer ante los eventuales ganadores SK Telecom T1, logrando un cuarto lugar para la división.

A finales de 2016, Jin Air anunció que Winged saldría del equipo según el medio digital “InvenGlobal”. Fue cuando se unió al equipo CJ Entus con otro gamer según el portal web “egamersworld”.

Con el equipo logró consagrarse en la CK 2017 Summer y sus Playoffs de verano hasta que un año después, pasó a ser parte del equipo RED Canids, ya como entrenador, cerrando el 2018 se unió a VSG también entrenando a los jugadores para conseguir los Playoffs de primavera de CK 2019.

Desde finales de 2019, forma parte del equipo APK Prince, como rol de entrenador, donde esperamos que siga consiguiendo mucho éxito.

'Faker' Lee Hyeok SK Telecom T1 no estará en el 2018 Campeonato Mundial de League of Legends.

SKT Were'nt eliminado del calificador regional Coreano por el general G Esports, perdiendo la última oportunidad de llegar a este campeonato del mundo.

Esta es sólo la segunda vez en la carrera de Faker que Zheng perderse en la competencia en el mayor evento en League of Legends, también no llegar a ella en 2014. De las cuatro veces que ha competido, Faker han ganado tres títulos y llegar a la final de la cuarta antes de caer a gen. G ellos mismos (a continuación, jugando como Samsung Galaxy).

A pesar de su abrumador éxito en el evento, Faker se ha quedado corto en los peores momentos en un sentido. Este año el Campeonato Mundial volverá a Corea del sur, habiéndose celebrado anteriormente en 2014. Desafortunadamente, el jugador más grande ha perdido ambas oportunidades de jugar el acontecimiento en tierra casera.

La falta de calificar para mundos es la última decepción de un año decepcionante para SK Telecom. El equipo luchó en la primavera de Lck pero logró llegar a tercer lugar en los playoffs. En verano, sin embargo, nunca se han dado cuenta de los problemas de renovación y no lograr los playoffs por completo.

Hasta ahora, los campeones del verano de Lck KT Rolster y los líderes de los puntos de circuito Afreeca Freecs han asegurado dos de los tres puntos coreanos en el Campeonato del mundo. El punto final se decidirá por el resto del calificador, con el gen G próximo frente a los corredores de verano hasta Griffin, antes de que el ganador de ese partido batallas Kingzone Dragonx para el lugar.

El Campeonato del mundo se iniciará con las etapas del play-in el 1 de octubre, antes del evento principal que se ejecutará del 10 de octubre al 3 de noviembre.

Beberapa Fakta Unik Seputar League of Legends World Championship 2018 Finals

Besok akan menjadi hari yang bersejarah karena World Championship 2018 akan memasuki panggung terakhir. Fnatic dan Invictus Gaming (IG) akan saling berjuang, memperebutkan gelar juara dan status sebagai tim terbaik di dunia. Munhak Stadium yang bertempat di kota Incheon, Korea Selatan dipilih sebagai arena pertarungan Fnatic dan Invictus Gaming. Stadion besar berkapasitas 49 ribu orang itu akan menjadi saksi lahirnya juara baru atau kembalinya sang juara dari era lama kompetisi League of Legends. Sebelum memulai babak Final, ada beberapa fakta menarik seputar babak Final yang tidak boleh dilewatkan begitu saja, Berikut adalah beberapa fakta menarik seputar World Championship 2018 Finals. Untuk Pertama Kalinya Sejak 2011, Tidak Ada Tim LCK di Final

Sejak pertama kali terjun ke kancah kompetitif pada tahun 2012 silam, tim-tim LCK selalu menunjukkan dominasinya dan setidaknya selalu mengirimkan satu timnya di babak Final. Dominasi ini semakin kuat kala SK Telecom T1 dan KOO Tigers sama-sama melangkah ke babak Final pada Worlds 2015. Pada dua tahun berikutnya, kita kembali melihat pertarungan dua tim LCK di Final. Pada tahun ini untuk pertama kalinya sejak 2011, kita tidak akan melihat satupun tim LCK di babak Final meskipun Worlds tahun ini bertempat di Korea Selatan. Gen.G yang diisi oleh juara bertahan sudah tumbang di Babak Grup sedangkan Afreeca Freecs dan kt Rolster sudah harus mengubur harapannya meraih gelar juara usai kalah di Perempatfinal. LPL Berpeluang Meraih Gelar Juara Dunia Pertamanya

LPL memang termasuk sebagai salah satu region terkuat saat ini, namun status tersebut masih menjadi perdebatan lantaran sejauh ini masih belum ada satupun tim LPL yang berhasil meraih gelar juara. LPL memang sempat mendapatkan peluang tatkala Royal Club berhasil melangkah ke babak Final pada Worlds 2013, namun di Final mereka justru dibantai oleh SK Telecom T1 K 0-3. Meskipun Star Horn Royal Club berhasil mengulangi keberhasilan yang sama pada tahun berikutnya, lagi-lagi mereka gagal usai ditaklukkan Samsung White 1-3. Setelah itu, tidak ada lagi tim-tim LPL yang berhasil menyentuh babak Final sampai tahun ini. Invictus Gaming selaku harapan terakhir LPL berpotensi untuk merebut gelar juara dunia pertamanya, baik bagi tim maupun bagi region LPL. Fnatic Berpeluang Meraih Gelar Juara Kedua

Dari seluruh tim Barat baik dari NA maupun EU, Fnatic adalah satu-satunya tim yang pernah meraih gelar juara dunia pada tahun pertama World Championship. Setelah itu, Fnatic gagal mempertahankan dan merebut kembali gelar juara yang pernah mereka raih sampai tahun ini. Dengan keberhasilan melangkah ke babak Final, maka Fnatic kini memiliki peluang untuk kembali meraih gelar juara yang pernah mereka raih dulu. Jika Fnatic berhasil meraih gelar juara, mereka tak hanya menjadi tim barat yang mampu meraih gelar juara dunia dan meningkatkan prestise EU tapi juga menjadi motivas untuk mempertahankan gelar juara saat Worlds menyambangi EU tahun depan. Tim Pemenang Worlds Selalu Diisi oleh Pemain Asli Region Tersebut

Jika kita melihat lagi roster setiap tim juara Worlds pada tahun-tahun sebelumnya, kita akan menemukan bahwa setiap pemain yang ada di tim tersebut berasal dari region yang sama. Dimulai pada tahun 2011 Fnatic menjuarai dengan roster EU, Taipei Assassin menjadi juara dengan roster LMS, dan tim-tim Korea seperti SK Telecom T1, Samsung White, dan Samsung Galaxy menjadi juara dengan roster LCK. Tidak ada satupun pemain yang berasal dari luar region tim-tim tersebut. Pada Final nanti Fnatic adalah satu-satunya tim yang mengikuti tradisi juara tersebut dengan menggunakan roster EU sedangkan Invictus Gaming menggunakan roster gabungan LPL dan LCK. Final nanti kita akan melihat apakah Fnatic mampu mempertahankan tradisi juara tersebut atau Invictus Gaming berhasil mematahkan tradisi juara. Ada Kejutan yang Disiapkan oleh Riot pada Final Nanti

Saat merlis video berjudul Riot Pls pada Agustus lalu, Riot sempat mengatakan bahwa mereka akan menyiapkan sebuah kejutan besar berupa konten baru yang akan diungkapkan pada saat Worlds 2018 Finals. Pada tahun lalu, Riot sempat menyisipkan kejutan di mana mereka mengungkapkan teaser skin PROJECT terbaru yang dinamai Hunters. Kira-kira kejutan apa yang akan diperlihatkan oleh Riot? Skin baru atau champion baru? Gelar Juara Akan Menyempurnakan Tahun Pertama Karier Bwipo

Jika melihat pemain-pemain rookie pada tahun ini, Bwipo bisa disebut sebagai Rookie tersukses. Bagaimana tidak, semenjak memulai debutnya di EU LCS 238 hari yang lalu menggantikan sOAZ yang cedera, Bwipo berhasil meraih gelar juara EU LCS Spring dan Summer 2018, Semifinalis Mid-Season Invitational 2018, dan kini menjadi Finalis Worlds 2018. Pada Worlds tahun ini, Bwipo juga lebih sering dimainkan daripada sOAZ dan menjadi salah satu pilar utama kemenangan Fnatic. Fleksibilitas pick dan kemampuan belajar serta adaptasi permainan yang sangat cepat menjadi kekuatan utama Bwipo. Jika Bwipo berhasil meraih gelar juara Worlds 2018, maka Bwipo bisa menutup tahun pertama kariernya dengan kesuksesan yang besar dan berpotensi menjadi salah satu Rookie tersukses dalam sejarah kancah kompetitif League of Legends. World Championship 2018 Finals akan dimulai besok, diawali dengan Opening Ceremony yang akan dimulai pada jam 13:00 dan dilanjutkan dengan pertandingan Final pada jam 13:30. Kira-kira siapakah nanti yang akan berhasil mengangkat Summoner’s Cup di Incheon? Read the full article

Samsung Galaxy regaló Anillos de Campeonato como último gesto para con sus jugadores

Samsung Galaxy regaló Anillos de Campeonato como último gesto para con sus jugadores

El día de hoy salió a la luz un increíble gesto por parte de Samsung Galaxy para con los jugadores pertenecientes a su equipo que se coronaron como campeones del 2017 League of Legends Worlds Championship: Anillos de Campeonato.

Estos anillos poseen un tamaño considerable con un estilo bastante lujoso, el cual posee como foco principal el logo de la organización en la parte central del objeto. Todo esto para tener otro recuerdo de la sorprendente victoria de 3-0 por parte de SSG sobre SK Telecom T1.

우승 반지 받았습니다! 올해 KSV에서도 남은 빈 손가락에 반지 낄 수 있도록 열심히 해보겠습니다. pic.twitter.com/HRytRbhR55

El año de Samsung Galaxy no fue para nada fácil desde sus comienzos, pero lograron conseguir el tercer pase de la LCK al Worlds después de vencer a KT Rolster en la final del Regional Qualifiers. Después de una fase de grupos un poco ajetreada, lograron dar la campanada al vencer al favorito del Mundial Longzhu Gaming para luego vencer en las semifinales al equipo de la LPL Team WE. El resto ya todos lo conocemos, Samsung Galaxy y SK Telecom T1 se volverían a enfrentar por segundo año consecutivo en la instancia final del torneo más grande del League of Legends mundial, dejando la redención de SSG escrita en la historia.

Esto gesto también fue realizado por la organización de SK Telecom T1 cuando su equipo se consagró campeones del mundo en el 2016, dándoles anillos a sus jugadores con el logo de SKT en el centro junto a los nombres de invocador y el trofeo del Worlds en la cima.

Este será el último detalle de Samsung Galaxy para con estos jugadores ya que la organización vendió tanto al equipo como su puesto en la LCK a KSV eSports.

¿Qué opinas de los Anillos de Campeonato hechos por SSG? ¿Crees que es un detalle digno de los jugadores? ¿Cómo crees que sea el futuro de este equipo? ¡Déjanos tu opinión en los comentarios!

SKT vs. Longzhu in the LCK final is the can’t-miss esports event of the year

The title match between a dynasty and an up-and-coming power pits the best player of all time vs. an 18-year-old wunderkind.

Whether you like it or not, esports are rapidly growing in the competitive entertainment space. Follow the money to understand how esports are rapidly becoming a part of the mainstream sports world: the upcoming Overwatch League ,with a $20 million buy-in fee, has commitments from Patriots owner Robert Kraft and the Mets-owning Wilpons, North American League of Legends is franchising with multiple NBA owners already owning teams and a $10-$13 million entry fee, and Riot Games agreed to a $300 million streaming deal with MLB Advanced Media for next season.

Whether it's college football or Dota 2’s The International (this year’s had a $21 million prize pool!), competition is competition. No matter the game, no matter the players, no matter the fanbase, compelling narratives will follow. The moments of wonder and sustained narratives that keep drawing us back to the NBA Finals or the Rose Bowl are also inspired by competitive video games, or Ultimate Frisbee, or even a very good cat dapping its roommate.

What I’ve also learned: just like most traditional sports, the regular season is pretty boring, but playoffs are awesome.

In League of Legends playoffs, teams of five players compete in best-of-five series across 3-4 rounds (different regions have different bracket formats). This is an expansion of the best-of-three format used by most regions during the regular season, to allow for more strategic depth and for more compelling in-series narratives to develop.

Each team gets five picks and five bans per draft, in a snake draft format. Selecting among the 138 available champions is an important part of League’s strategy, but it is also only the beginning. The adaptations teams make between games are crucial to winning a grueling five-game set.

As audiences watch these matchups unfold, teams are chosen not just based on which champions are popular or considered strong, but by what the other team has prioritized. If an opponent just played a great game on a surprising pick, do you ban it next game, freeing up something else you previously considered ban-worthy? Do you pick it yourself (assuming one of your players can)? Do you pick something else that you know is good against it? Or do you just run it back, let them have it and hope for the best?

There’s no better example of the inherent drama in the games as well as between the teams than this week’s LCK final between SK Telecom T1 and Longzhu Gaming. It is a title match between a dynasty and an up-and-coming power that pits the best player of all time vs. an 18-year-old wunderkind.

For those new to esports, here are a few things you should know before tuning in:

The LCK is the South Korean domestic League of Legends league, and it’s the top level of competition in the world.

Winning the LCK is a bigger accomplishment than winning Worlds (basically League’s version of the UEFA Champions League). Even though Worlds features the best teams from each region, the LCK is still more difficult, simply because it has more Korean teams in the tournament. The LCK is like if La Liga also had Paris St. Germain, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Chelsea. There are five Korean teams to defeat in the LCK playoffs, as opposed to the three that represent Korea at Worlds.

Now, let’s talk about how these teams got here. Some of these narratives are probably going to sound familiar to you, Traditional Sports Fan.

SKT is the pre-eminent League of Legends dynasty, having won three of the last four World Championships and four of the last five LCK titles.

The team is led by mid laner Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, the best League of Legends player of all-time, and the kind of generational talent that makes you wish you could see him play against the players that finally catch up to his level in 10-20 years.

Faker has the mechanical skill to play with anyone in the world, but what sets him apart is his game knowledge. He’s mastered nearly every champion in League’s robust roster, and is a threat to pull out any pick at any time. He’s also a calm competitor with a reputation of stepping up his game as a series goes on.

Faker is something of a legend in South Korea, and is referred to (with great reverance) as “The Unkillable Demon King.” If you have time and want to learn more about him (and League of Legends culture in South Korea), you should read this excellent feature by ESPN’s Mina Kimes, which by my book is one of the best pieces of sportswriting this century.

Even though SKT struggled during the regular season, with a 13-5 record good enough for a No. 4 seed in the playoffs, there was little doubt of an eventual finals appearance. The best-of-five format is where SKT shines, as their very full trophy case can attest. This year’s playoffs for SKT have consisted of 3-0 sweeps of Afreeca Freecs and Samsung Galaxy in the first two rounds, as well as a come-from-behind 3-2 semifinal victory over KT Rolster.

SKT is known for its calm, collected play and deep understanding of the most effective and popular strategies.

The team has the history, the star power and the gameplan to take on any opponent at any time. There’s good reason SKT has been considered the best in the world for years, and why the No. 4 seed is the likely favorite going up against the No. 1.

Just ask Longzhu’s coach:

“To be honest with you... I wanted SKT to lose,” Coach Hirai said. “Whenever they played, I kept thinking to myself, 'Please lose, Please lose.' But in the end, they kept winning. When I was watching them playing against KT, and they were down 2 games, I happily went for a restroom break... but when I came back... I quickly lost my smile.”

SKT coach Kim “kkOma” Jung-Gyun (who, along with Faker, has been the only consistent part of SKT throughout their many titles), is feeling very confident heading into the massive matchup.

“There are many rookies in their lineup and they are all very lacking in stage experience,” kkOma said. “Right now, LZ members are filled with vigor... but soon, they will be stricken with fear and pressure. I want them to feel the weight of losing the 1st game on a ‘big’ stage.”

Longzhu is one of a few new superteams that popped up with the goal of taking down SKT, and ended up with a surprise first-place regular season finish.

This is the first time Longzhu has ever made the playoffs, and a 14-4 record and No. 1 seed granted a bye straight to the finals (the LCK Playoffs are a gauntlet-style tournament). While SKT already took down the other two new superteams — Afreeca and KT — there’s one big reason Longzhu has hope: superstar 18-year-old mid laner Gwak "Bdd" Bo-seong, who will play opposite Faker in the series.

At times flashier than the Demon King himself, Bdd burst onto the scene as a 16-year-old solo queue star (the League equivalent of pick-up basketball).

It wasn’t until his 17th birthday that he was given the opportunity to start in the LCK. Bdd (which loosely translates to “Moocher”) has taken full advantage, leading all LCK players this split in kills (188) and Kill/Death/Assist Ratio (a staggering 11.3, way better than next-best 7.1), while leading all mid laners by participating in 78% of his team’s kills. Faker’s numbers, for comparison: 120 kills, a 3.4 KDA, and 65.3% kill participation.

That’s not to say Bdd is better — just like in traditional sports, it’s not as simple as better stats = better player. The two players play different kinds of League of Legends, and operate with different functions inside their respective five-man units.

But this is a unique opportunity to see a rising star take on the king of his field.

Take a look at this exchange between BDD and Faker at a recent press conference:

BDD: He's a player that I really like and respect. Even as a professional gamer myself, I still watch Faker's VODs to learn from him and refine my playstyle. Personally, I'm both excited and nervous at the same time to play against him in the Finals. I will give my absolute best to beat him, even if it costs me my life.

Faker: Thank you for being a fan... but I won't go easy on you just because you are one. During the Finals, whether you are a fan or not, I will play at my full force and defeat you.

If you’ve wanted to try out this new esports thing, this is as good of an opportunity as you’re going to get to watch top-flight action. The LCK finals will be streamed live on Twitch and YouTube on Saturday, starting at 4 a.m. ET. If you don’t want to wake up that early, fret not: that YouTube link will contain the full series when it’s done, and the LOL Event VODs subreddit and YouTube page are spoiler-free places where you’ll be able to find videos of the games.

New Post has been published on https://attendantdesign.com/heres-how-skt-can-qualify-for-worlds/

Here’s how SKT can qualify for Worlds

The 2017 LCK Summer Split hasn’t been the quality season for the reigning League of Legends global champions. SK Telecom T1 these days finished the Summer Split in the fourth region and face a tough run to the summer time finals in the event that they have any hopes of shielding their Worlds name this year in China on Sept. 28.

There are more than one methods that SKT can qualify for the World Championships while not having to stand the LCK Regional Playoffs in September. The team currently have 90 circuit factors after finishing first in the Spring Split, which might be vital for the group transferring forward.

  Screengrab through LCK

If SKT fails to overcome Afreeca Freecs on Aug. 12, they’ll want some help. Afreeca might want to beat Samsung Galaxy, with KT Rolster prevailing the playoffs, in order for SKT to visit Worlds as the LCK’s 2d seed.

If the defending global champions beat Afreeca and lose towards either Samsung Galaxy or KT Rolster inside the subsequent rounds of summer season playoffs, then SKT will want to hope that KT beat Longzhu Gaming inside the finals on Aug. 28 to go to Worlds because of the LCK’s 2nd seed.

If SKT makes it to the finals, regardless of the result, they’re guaranteed to visit Worlds either as the first or 2nd seed for the LCK vicinity.

Basically, SKT’s fate is in their very own fingers—they want to conquer KT to assure a spot at Worlds. Otherwise, all eyes could be on Longzhu to take the first seed and force SKT to undergo the LCK Regional Playoffs to play against several teams, which include Samsung Galaxy and Afreeca Freecs.

If SKT battle in the LCK Summer Playoffs and fail to win the LCK Regional Finals, then they gained be going to the World Championships in any respect this 12 months—no strain.

  Afreeca Freecs defeated Jin Air GreenWings in advance nowadays to cozy their vicinity inside the LCK Summer Playoffs.

After defeating SK Telecom T1 on July 18, Jin Air put themselves in an excellent position to make an not likely playoff run. Since then, even though, the crew has misplaced too often and hasn’t been able to benefit any ground on the squads in the front of them. The first recreation of the collection became a carefully-contested match, with neither aspect clearly gaining a bonus over the other.

It took the half-hour for Jin Air to cozy the primary kill of the complete sport. Jin Air then appeared to take the lead thru a series of amazing performs but was lamentably squashed within the late sport when Afreeca located a perfect team fight to win the suit.

Jin Air was not inclined to go down with out a fight and forced Afreeca to earn their second win in the series. The game lasted just over 40 minutes, with both groups tied to the past due sport.

Afreeca turned the game of their want by using securing a Baron and an Elder Drake to offer them the power they wished to break into Jin Air’s base and take the collection.

This win means that regardless of how the alternative series play out, Afreeca has cemented their spot in the LCK Summer Playoffs, giving themselves a shot to qualify for Worlds.

All Africa need to do to get there’s beat SK Telecom T1, Longzhu Gaming, Samsung Galaxy, and KT Rolster—sounds easy sufficient.

TODAY – four:59 AMLEAGUE OF LEGENDS / TSM / CLG / 2017 SUMMER SPLIT / NA LCS TSM sweep CLG in a rollicking collection to take the first vicinity in the NA LCS TSM yet again quit the regular season on top of the location. Xing Li League of Legends Analyst xing thali

Photo through Riot Games TSM vs. CLG is often a massacre.

That’s because the two groups are in detail familiar with every other. Not best have the two long gone head-to-head given that earlier than the primary season of aggressive League of Legends, but they are two of the most successful teams in recent seasons. In addition to everyday season collection, the two have confronted off in excessive-pressure playoff fits. Due to that fulfillment, the 2 have also maintained the most solid rosters over the last two years. These teams have performed each other with the identical gamers so frequently that they each understand what the opposite desires to do—and the way to beat it. That’s why, before the collection, CLG top laner Darshan Upadhyaya told us to assume a group of team fights. The modern day series between the two without a doubt lived as much as the hype. It simply took a while to get there. The first game becomes a bit of a letdown—now not because it wasn’t excellent, however, due to the fact TSM’s big name mid laner, Søren “Bjergsen” Bjerg, took manager of the match and never let move. He acquired an early four-person dive to get first blood and took off like a rocket.

That play is simply unfair. There’s  SKT nothing CLG’s Choi ” Worlds qualify 

Huhi” Jae-Hyun could do. Bjergsen snowballed his lead superbly—this subsequent play is even greater unfair. It’s a grasp elegance in Taliyah kiting.

Looking to even the series, CLG did not get off to a very good start within the 2d recreation. ADC Trevor “Stixxay” became pressured to burn his flash early, and that become a smooth gank and kill for TSM’s Yiliang “Doublelift” Peng. Playing the dangerous, hyper-scaling Jinx, the sport might have been over then, especially with Bjergsen and pinnacle laner Kevin “Hauntzer” Yarnell playing respectfully. But it really is whilst the familiarity part came in. Despite a deficit, CLG gave the impression of they were reading TSM’s minds. Support Zaqueri “Aphromoo” Black especially appeared like he becomes interior Doublelift’s head, catching Doublelift in the aspect lanes that he likes to solo farm and getting CLG lower back into the game.

With the rating even, it became time for a few fights around targets. And boy had been they bloody. CLG jungle Omar “OmarGod” Amin, the newcomer to the series, hit some seize Gragas ults to blow TSM’s squishy carries into the center of the fray.

The preventing persevered properly beyond 50 mins as the teams traded main objectives around the map. The stop to the game changed into becoming—as huge, bloody team fight in which almost all people died in a splurge of coloration.

  These two teams have given us a few signature moments through the years, and that last team fight could be any other one. With the victory, TSM will head into playoffs in the first vicinity with a bye. CLG will be there too in 0.33 place—who are hoping for an encore between these?

The merchandising event will truly come all the way down to who shows up on that day, and which group desires to win extra.

LCK sets massive viewership record thanks to unexpected T1 vs. Gen.G Spring Split final

The LCK is without a doubt one of the most fascinating and entertaining regions to watch. Fans knew they would witness a hit series when Gen.G and T1 squared off last week. Gen.G won the LCK Spring Finals, but more significantly, it attracted record-breaking viewership, the largest we've ever seen in an LCK final. https://twitter.com/LCK/status/1645729791491059712 With the finals taking place at the Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, Gen.G and T1 brought a total of 1,463,312 concurrent viewers according to Esports Charts, breaking the previous record of 1.37 million viewers which was achieved last year, once again by Gen.G and T1. Even though Gen.G won the series, T1 played a major role in boosting the numbers. According to Esports Charts, the five most-watched series of the LCK 2023 Spring Split all included Faker’s team: - T1 vs Gen.G – Spring Final – 1,463,312 viewers - T1 vs KT Rolster – Upper Bracket Semifinals – 1,078,018 viewers - T1 vs Gen.G – Upper Bracket Final – 932,341 viewers - T1 vs Dplus KIA – Spring Final – 726,165 viewers - T1 vs Gen.G – Week 5, Day 5 – 719,988 viewers The average viewership for 2023 LCK Spring (234,198) also went up by approximately 10,000 compared to Summer 2022 (224,220, according to Esports Charts), proving that the Korean region is performing well and doing a great job at keeping the fan base engaged. This marks a diverging trend with the Western world, where the LCS is struggling with decreasing viewership for the sixth consecutive split, while the LEC is maintaining similar numbers to the 2022 season, with similar average viewership between LEC Winter 2023 and LEC Spring 2022 (according to Esports Charts). With both Gen.G and T1 going to MSI in London next month, their presence will definitely raise interest in the first international tournament of the year. In 2022, the average viewership was 588,187, with a peak number of 2,194,104 (according to Esports Charts), achieved in the finals between T1 and RNG. Considering the new format for MSI, League fans will get more teams and more action, with a high chance of breaking all previous records. The Mid-Season Invitational will begin with the play-in stage on May 2. Read the full article

A look at the final four squads in the IEM Katowice League of Legends competition

With only one day of the Intel Extreme Masters Katowice League of Legends tournament left, we now know the four units that will face off tomorrow for an opportunity at a $50,000 magnificent prizeand the rival should be fierce.

Tomorrow will see two semifinals: the first between North Americas Team SoloMid and 2015 World Champion SK Telecom T1 from Korea, and the second largest pitting Chinas Royal Never Give Up against Europes Fnatic. Those accords will take place at the Spodek Arena in Katowice, Poland tomorrow.

Surprisingly , none of these squads are the best domestically at the momentaside from Royal, which is now tied with Invictus Gaming in group B of the League Pro League in China. Their peer the Qiao Gu Reapers( currently firstly in group A) was omitted today by Fnatic after falling 1-2 in a best-of-three.

But for these final four crews, who are arguably the best-known and most popular in their respective regions, this offseason and its listing changes led to lackluster results in so far this year. Even recently Fnatic has made a change in their foot path. So what can be expected for tomorrow?

SK Telecom T1

Back home the 2015 World Champions had a bumpy start to the League Champions Korea( LCK ). They currently harbour sixth, with the World Championship runner-up ROX Tigers dominating the region, and other long-time conference whales such as KT Rolster and Jin Air Green Wings play-act better.

But SK Telecom only constituted one listing move this offseason, in their top road. They swopped former NaJin e-mFire player Lee “Duke” Ho-seong for former top laner Jang “MaRin” Gyeong-Hwan. For IEM Katowice( most likely due to the phenomenon meaning little in the splendid programme of overall tournament ), SK Telecom opted to use substitute jungler Kang “Blank” Sun-gu.

He performed well today, as did the rest of the team. Star AD carry Bae “Bang” Jun-sik shredded Qiao Gu Reapers with Kalista, and reigned Counter Logic Gaming on Ezreal. The teams best actor Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok played well on Lulu and Leblanc, two most varied endorses in nature.

Tomorrow, Bae Jun-sik and Lee Sang-hyeok will meet strong competition in Team SoloMids star duo Sren Bjergsen Bjerg and Yiliang Doublelift Peng. Luckily for Kang Sun-gu, SoloMid jungler Dennis Svenskeren Johnsen has looked out of organize lately, which could give the Korean the edge.

If SK Telecom T1 performs in the same fashion they did today, they should beat SoloMid and advance on to meet the winner of Royal Never Give Up and Fnatic.

Team SoloMid

On paper Team SoloMid searched to be the surefire favorite to acquire North America this season. But the unfortunate actuality is that theyre currently the fifth best squad of the states of the region, and have a lot of inconsistency in their play.

This offseason they went through “the worlds largest” changes, merely continuing Bjerg in their mid thoroughfare. From such information is included former Counter Logic Gaming star Peng, former SK Gaming ace Johnsen, former Fnatic leader and support Bora YellowStar Kim, and former Gravity top laner Kevin Hauntzer Yarnell.

They had a bumpy group stagecoach as well, initially losing to Korean Challenger crew Ever. But they rebounded back and overpower Europes Origen, and Ever, in two best-of-three serial to make it out.

If they continue those iffy executions tomorrow, they will lose to SK Telecom T1 and will take third-fourth. SoloMid will need some kind of star miracle achievement, likely from Bjerg or Peng, plus uniformity from the rest of the group to even have a chance to take down the Korean titan.

Royal Never Give Up

Led by 2014 World Championship MVP Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong, Royal Never Give Up also made a lot of changes this offseason. But unlike before, the team now is one of best available from Chinawith Cho Se-hyeong and mid laner Li xiaohu Yuan-Hao preceding the pack this tournament.

Top laner Jang Looper Hyeong-seok is also a 2014 World Champion, formerly of Samsung Galaxy White. But on their bench sit two former aces: Choi inSec In-seok and Zhu NaMei Jia-Wen.

That didnt seem to matter as Royal wiped their group yesterday, taking decisive victories over Origen and Ever. Jungler Liu Mlxg Shi-yu received a lot of kudo on social media for the matches.

Success for the team tomorrow will ultimately come down to Cho Se-hyeong and Li Yuan-Haos renditions, with the latter needing to returning his -Agame as he faces Fnatics star mid laner Fabian Febiven Diepstraten. The line will be the closest of the day, but given their execution from yesterday Royal should have a slight edge.

Fnatic

Like Team SoloMid and SK Telecom T1, Fnatic has had a rough split. They benched their backing Lewis NoxiaK Felix several weeks ago for rookie Johan “Klaj” Olsson. Olsson has play-act better( but not anything all that special) with Fnatic currently at fifth under Team Vitality, G2 Esports, Unicorns of Love, and H2K Gaming.

Tomorrows performance really comes down to two participates: mid laner Fabian Febiven Diepstraten and Lee “Spirit” Da-yoon. Both play-act well today against Counter Logic Gaming and the latter half of the Qiao Gu Reapers serial. Lee Da-yoon in particular proved some impressive conducts on his Lee Sin.

Aside from SK Telecom, Fnatic has the best occasion against the dominant Royal Never Give Up. The series should be super close, with the winner came to see you ahead by only a small margin.

League of Legends global power rankings through March 14

Welcome back to our League of Legends global power rankings. Every week, we look at each team in the five major regions and rank them according to how they are performing. We're entering Week 8 of the LCK and NA/EU LCS. The LMS is entering Week 7, and the LPL is entering Week 6 of play. The +/- indicates the change since the previous ranking.   Nos. 1-10 -- World contenders Nos. 11-20 -- Playoff contenders Nos. 21-30 -- Middle of the pack Nos. 31-40 -- Struggling Nos. 41-50 -- Bottom of the barrel  

1. SK Telecom T1

Record: 11-1 (22-5) | League: LCK | +/-: +1 It was a standard week from SKT, as they played the two bottom teams in the standing: Jin Air Greenwings and Kongdoo Monster. SKT played with their prey in the match against Kongdoo, allowing its opponent a decent-sized gold lead, but had no problem closing them out. Kim "Profit" Jun-Hyung continues to perform well as a sub top laner, carrying over his success from the KT series.  

2. KT Rolster

Record: 10-3 (22-8) | League: LCK | +/-: -1 KT Rolster bounced back with a spirited 4-0 match week following back-to-back losses to SK Telecom T1. On the surface, they re-established themselves as the second-best team in the world. But in interviews, the team appear to have internal struggles, disheartened after being humbled by their Telecom rival. KT Rolster opened its wallets to make a team that could and should win the World Championship later this year in China, and neither the organization, coaching staff nor players will be happy with anything less than a Summoner's Cup. For now, KT can only march toward the playoffs, hopefully locking down a semifinal spot and a rematch against current world champion SKT.  

3. Samsung Galaxy

Record: 8-4 (18-11) | League: LCK | +/-: +1 Samsung have generally been steady, but a shaky 1-2 series against Afreeca Freecs brings up a couple flags. Despite starting the series with a win, Samsung couldn't keep up with Afreeca's aggressive bot lane and wilted at the hands of Ha "Kramer" Jong-hun. A confident 2-0 over Longzhu, who have recently struggled, keeps Samsung high on the list.  

4. Afreeca Freecs

Record: 7-5 (16-14) | League: LCK | +/-: +6 Is this the true power of the Freecs? After going through a complete roster overhaul in the offseason, the club was expected to do better in the new year with some new, big-name players. While former world champion and event MVP Jang "MaRin" Gyeong-hwa has been the best top laner in the league this split, the rest of the team has fluctuated among good, bad and sometimes ugly. The ugly play might be a relic of the past, however, as the team start to take shape to their full potential. They're heading into a rematch against SK Telecom T1 as the only team to have taken a win off the Telecom giant. Last month, the team was barely above the relegation line; now, finally finding some consistency, they are aiming to take the league title.  

5. Flash Wolves

Record: 8-0 (16-1) | League: LMS | +/-: +1 Wow. Flash Wolves crushed ahq e-Sports Club this week, and it wasn't even close. A kill score of 27-4 in two games is brutal, and it's clear that Flash Wolves are a level ahead of the rest of the pack. The team's new mid-game-centric style centered around a pushing bot lane is perfect for the current meta, but they might see some trouble against more formidable laners.  

6. MVP

Record: 7-5 (16-13) | League: LCK | +/-: -1 It was a tough loss for MVP against the Freecs, but the team are still in a good place to make the playoffs and a possible run through the gauntlet. A team that are outmatched in terms of individual skill, MVP have been the trickster of South Korea this season, utilizing pocket picks aplenty to take down teams such as KT Rolster. When they play standard, MVP's macro and teamwork put them in contention, but it still isn't enough to hang with a team such as Afreeca, which outmuscles them in some key positions. Luckily, last year's ace, Kim "Beyond" Kyu-seok, is rounding into 2016 form following a slow start to the season. He'll be a necessary component if MVP, aces up its sleeve or not, want to make a Cinderella run to the top of the competition.  

7. Royal Never Give Up

Record: 7-1 (14-5) | League: LPL | +/-: -- RNG are still the best LPL has to offer. After having to defeat the regular kings of China, EDward Gaming, last week, this one was fairly lax. RNG had little trouble dispatching Newbee but did pull off a fun pick in the Nocturne. It's questionable if Liu "MLXG" Shi-yu will bring it out again, but it's a fun, diving pick that also works well with Shen if it ever comes to that.  

8. G2 Esports

Record: 9-0 (18-4) | League: EU LCS | +/-: -- G2 Esports' undefeated series streak in Europe nearly came to an end against a resurging Splyce, but Alfonso "mithy" Aguirre Rodriguez and his teammates held firm, showcasing more fluid transitions into the mid game and cleaner team-fight decision-making. G2's early game remains a sore point, a matter that could be their undoing against top-caliber squads from non-LCS regions or against Misfits and H2k-Gaming, should they solve their weaknesses.  

9. Team SoloMid

Record: 12-2 (24-13) | League: NA LCS | +/-: +4 Team SoloMid ascends back to first place in North America following wins over Team EnVyUs and Immortals, as well as a Cloud9 loss at the hands of Counter Logic Gaming. Team SoloMid has the best player in the league, Søren "Bjergsen" Bjerg, and he is much of the reason the team are arguably the best in the NA LCS, but it's hard to leave the team's top laner, Kevin "Hauntzer" Yarnell, unnoticed. Hauntzer has looked great the past few weeks, and he has cemented himself as the best top laner in NA and a pivotal asset as the Team SoloMid team continues to rise in the rankings.  

10. Longzhu

Record: 7-6 (16-16) | League: LCK | +/-: -6 When people talk about how coaching doesn't matter in League of Legends, just point at Longzhu and their plummet in form since strategic coach Kim "SSONG" Sang-soo left the team. That's not to say it isn't any of the players' faults. Still, the team has always been reaching for some coaching consistency, and the addition of SSONG -- who was once an integral part of ROX's success -- meant stability. Time is running out, and it remains to be seen if the remodeled coaching staff can whip the Dragons back into shape. More : https://esportchampions.com/ Click to Post

Top 10: Los jugadores mejor pagados en League of Legends

Muchas veces League of Legends no es muy conocido por tener los mejores y mayores premios en la historia de eSports. Pero esto no ha detenido a varios jugadores de poder ganar más de $50.000 dólares a lo largo de sus carreras.

Mientras que otros juegos, como lo son Dota 2, quien puede ofrecer grandes premios en torneos, tales como The International 7 que ofrece un premio de $24.7 millones de dólares este año, mientras que LoL puede proporcionar a sus jugadores profesionales con estabilidad, especialmente cuando se habla de sus salarios.

Los jugadores profesionales de League of Legends pueden obtener ganancias de hasta $80.000 dólares al año en sueldos individuales, incluso algunos de los mejores jugadores pueden ganar más.

Sin embargo, muchas de las organizaciones prefieren mantener los salarios de sus jugadores escondidos del público, aún así, mediante las ganancias del torneo se puede hacer un aproximado para conocer el ingreso de los jugadores.

Así que aquí están los 10 jugadores que han obtenido el mayor ingreso de los torneos, desde el 10 de septiembre del 2017, esto de acuerdo a esportsearnings.com.

Jang “Looper” Hyeong-seok – $346.307 dólares.

Looper es mejor conocido por su tiempo con Samsung White, cuando estos ganaron el World Championship en el 2014, que es donde ha obtenido la mayor parte de sus ingresos.

Samsung White se disolvió debido a que Riot impuso reglas a organizaciones que posean más de un equipo en una región. Esto significo que Samsung White y Samsung Blue dejaran de existir, dejando solo un equipo-Samsung Galaxy.

Looper es actualmente el jugador del carril superior para Echo Fox, haciéndolo el jugador mejor pagado de la NA LCS que se encuentra en la lista.

Ming “ClearLove” Kai – $388.320 dólares.

ClearLove es un miembro de EDward Gaming, uno de los equipos más exitosos de la LPL, y él es el único jugador chino en la lista.

Él obtiene la mayor parte de sus ingresos a través de varios títulos regionales y de liderar a EDG en múltiples rounds eliminatorios en Worlds.

ClearLove ha sido parte de EDG desde el 2013 y ha ayudado al equipo a obtener varios campeonatos. Con la LPL adaptándose al sistema de franquicias en el 2018, ClearLove y muchos otros jugadores de la LPL estiman ganar mucho más de lo que obtienen hoy en día.

Cho “Mata” Se-hyeong – $391.453 dólares.

Después de ganar Worlds con Samsung White en el 2014, Mata ha sido parte de otros dos equipos antes de incorporarse a KT Rolster en diciembre del 2016.

Una gran cantidad de los ingresos de Mata provienen de su más famosa victoria en el Worlds Championship, y con una pequeña cantidad proveniente de su desempeño regional.

Mata paso dos años en la LPL con muy poco éxito, fallando en poder hacerse fama por si mismo jugando con Vici Gaming y Royal Never Give Up, antes de regresar a Corea para jugar junto con su viejo compañero, PawN.

Heo “PawN” Won-seok – $412.345 dólares.

PawN es el jugador mejor pagado del ya extinto Samsung White, y ha hecho lo mejor desde que el equipo se disolvió.

PawN termino por unirse a EDG en diciembre del 2014, y se mantuvo con el equipo por casi dos años, ganó múltiples títulos regionales y obtuvo más dinero después de su heroísmo en Wolrds 2014 esto a comparación con sus ex compañeros de equipo.

Después de su larga estancia con EDward Gaming, eventualmente lo dejo para regresar a Corea y unirse a KT Rolster en diciembre del 2016.

Kang “Blank” Sun-gu – $441.313 dólares.

El jugador menos pagado de SKT está en el Top 10, pero también es uno de los junglas más consistentes en el equipo. Blank es uno de los jugadores go-to y eso ha ayudado al equipo en ambos torneos regionales e internacionales.

Blank es el jugador substituto de la jungla para SKT y ha sido usado como una reserva desde su llegada al equipo en diciembre del 2015.

Blank ha obtenido la mayor parte de sus ingresos desde que SKT ganó por segundo año consecutivo el World championship y además podría estar por encima de su ex compañero de equipo, Duke, al final de Wolds 2017.

De cara a su tercera aparición en Worlds con SKT, Blank está seguro de que será el sexto hombre en el equipo que ayudará a SKT a obtener su cuarto título de Worlds.

Lee “Duke” Ho-seong – $456.127 dólares.

La mayor parte de los ingresos de Duke provienen del tiempo con SKT en la temporada seis, cuando ayudo al equipo a ganar el título de la Spring Split y el World Championship 2016.

Después de ganar Worlds con SKT, Duke se cambió a la LPL para unirse a Invictus Gaming. Pero tras la derrota del equipo en contra de Team WE en las clasificatorias regionales, y esto lo detuvo de poder regresar a Worlds este año.

Bae “Bang” Jun-sik – $790,284 dólares.

Como dos veces campeón del mundo, Bang ha tenido una historia sorprendente desde que se unió a SK Telecom T1 en octubre del 2013. Él se incorporó a las filas oficiales del equipo en 2014, y desde entonces ha ayudado al equipo a obtener múltiples títulos regionales e internacionales.

La mayoría de sus ingresos son producto de la combinación de títulos mundiales, títulos de MSI, y títulos regionales.

Lee “Wolf” Jae-wan – $794.785 dólares.

Wolf está casi garantizado para convertirse en el segundo jugador mejor pagado en la historia de League of Legends después de Worlds 2017, debido a la salida de Bengi del equipo.

Al igual que Bang, Wolf ha sido parte fundamental para el dominio global de SKT en los últimos años, y ha sido el mejor soporte en el mundo por algún tiempo. Su asociación con Bang es incomparable y se consideran el mejor carril de bot en el mundo.

Bae “Bengi” Seong-woong – $810.683 dólares.

Bengi, el ex junglero de SKT, fue de gran necesidad para hacer que SKT tuviera éxito durante varios años gracias a lo largo de su consistencia. El tres veces campeón del mundo dejó a SKT al comienzo del año para unirse al equipo chino Vici Gaming, pero tuvo problemas en su debut.

Bengi decidió quedarse fuera de la summer split después de una división decepcionante en la LPL. Vici Gaming fue relegado a la versión de LPL de Challenger Series para el siguiente summer split.

Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok – $1.056.863 dólares.

No es mayor sorpresa que el mejor jugador de League of Legends en el mundo sea el jugador mejor pagado—Faker.

Faker es el único jugador que gana más de $1 millón de dólares, esto gracias a los tres campeonatos del mundo, los dos títulos del MSI, y los múltiples títulos regionales de la LCK que ha obtenido bajo la bandera y titulo de SK Telecom T1.

Coméntanos que opinas acerca de tu opinión sobre los ingresos de estos jugadores, y si conocías la cantidad de dinero que obtenían.

Longzhu Gaming end the LCK

Longzhu Gaming took down Samsung Galaxy earlier these days to comfortable the LCK’s first seed entering into subsequent week’s playoffs.

It turned into fitting that Samsung Galaxy and Longzhu Gaming might near out the Summer Split everyday season with a chain that had so much on the road. Following KT Rolster’s loss to SK Telecom T1 in advance this week, it was decided that the winner of the present day fit between Samsung and Longzhu might earn the primary seed, guaranteeing them a niche in the LCK finals.

For Longzhu, this became a brand new enjoy. This marks the primary time that Longzhu has made the playoffs since the company rebranding from Incredible Miracle in 2016—and now they’re fighting for a spot in the finals. In game one, Longzhu’s early interest in their veteran duo inside the bot lane wasn’t sudden. Longzhu hooked up a clean lead early in the sport via getting rid of 3 Samsung players—with two of the kills getting into want of Longzhu’s ADC, Kim “PraY” Jong-in.

Using their lead to take the tier one bot lane turret, Longzhu used their momentum to push their vision to manipulate into Samsung’s jungle. Samsung, unaware of those wards, walked

directly into Longzhu’s trap, losing 3 players throughout the map.

Longzhu used their guy advantage to effortlessly take a Baron, and driven instantly into Samsung’s base. Samsung managed to defend their turrets for some time, but in the end fell to a brilliant have interaction from Longzhu’s guide, Kang “GorillA” Beom-Hyeon. Game two saw Longzhu attempt to replicate their preceding bot lane lead, but this time, they were unsuccessful. Samsung’s mid laner, Lee “Crown” Min-ho, became short to roam and foiled Longzhu’s try at an early bot lane gank, earning a go back kill for himself. Although they looked precise for the early a part of the game, it was Samsung’s hubris that led to their eventual downfall. In a try to start a very early Baron after seeing Longzhu’s duo kill Lee “Cuvee” Seong-jin, Samsung had been nearly aced. Samsung then lost the next team fight and have been pressured to surrender the Baron and any momentum that they had. Longzhu used this Baron to take turrets and gain entire vision control. Even after Longzhu’s Baron had worn off, Samsung has been forced to cede later targets due to their loss of vision. These later targets snowballed Longzhu into a smooth victory.

As the LCK’s new first-area group, Longzhu is directly seeded into the Summer Split finals. Although Longzhu won’t play till Aug. 26, the LCK playoffs will start on Aug. 11, with Afreeca Freecs taking on SK Telecom T1.

Here’s how SKT can qualify for Worlds Is it all over for the current world champions? Adam Newell News Writer MonkeyKingHero

The 2017 LCK Summer Split hasn’t been the excellent season for the reigning League of Legends global champions. SK Telecom T1 these days completed the Summer Split in the fourth vicinity and face a difficult run to the summer season finals if they have any hopes of protecting their Worlds name this year in China on Sept. 28.

There are more than one approaches that SKT can qualify for the World Championships while not having to stand the LCK Regional Playoffs in September. The crew currently have 90 circuit factors after finishing first in the Spring Split, which is probably essential for the team shifting forward.

  Screengrab through LCK If SKT fails to beat Afreeca Freecs on Aug. 12, they’ll need a few assist. Afreeca could want to beat Samsung Galaxy, with KT Rolster prevailing the playoffs, in order for SKT to visit Worlds because of the LCK’s second seed.

If the defending world champions beat Afreeca and lose in opposition to both Samsung Galaxy or KT Rolster inside the subsequent two rounds of summer season playoffs, then SKT will need to pray that KT beat Longzhu Gaming within the finals on Aug. 28 to visit Worlds as the LCK’s 2nd seed.

If SKT makes it to the finals, irrespective of the end result, they’re assured to go to Worlds either as the first or 2nd seed for the LCK region.

Basically, SKT’s fate is in their own fingers—they need to overcome KT to assure a spot at Worlds. Otherwise, all eyes can be on Longzhu to take the primary seed and pressure SKT to undergo the LCK Regional Playoffs to play towards several groups, such as Samsung Galaxy and Afreeca Freecs.

If SKT struggle in the LCK Summer Playoffs and fail to win the LCK Regional Finals, then they gained be going to the World Championships at all this year—no pressure.

Afreeca Freecs defeated Jin Air GreenWings in advance today to comfortable their region within the LCK Summer Playoffs.
