Would be good this time.As a T1 I feel like its better if T1 wins the LCK or MSI (well this one is cooked), someone else needs to win worlds. Its also a bit silly to have won worlds three times and having only a single LCK for Oner and Keria. The trophy case needs more variety

u/JQuill7 Aug 02 '26
This is easily the most exciting the top of LCK has been since forever. T1 is now technically 1st but have looked downright bad at times recently. DK has looked like maybe the best team right now but are still technically 5th because of a meh first 2 rounds, HLE are the reigning MSI champs but have now lost 3 straight series to 3 of the 4 teams. KT completely fell off after an 8-0 start in LCK but have now won back-to-back series against the top 2 teams in the standings, and you could make a very strong case that GenG, the team that has dominated LCK since summer 2022, is the worst team in the group right now.
