The LCK Playoffs will begin on September 10 with a Round 1 showdown. T1 had to pick between the two teams that advanced from the Play-In (Dplus KIA and BNK FearX), and they chose DK, leaving KT Rolster to face FearX. Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports, who finished first and second in the Legend Group, start directly in Round 2, where Gen.G will select their opponent from the two Round 1 winners. Both Round 2 best-of-fives are qualification matches for Worlds 2025 in China. As a reminder, Gen.G are already qualified thanks to their MSI victory.
