This year, the LCK will have four seeds in the Worlds Main Event: T1, Hanwha Life Esports, Gen.G, and Dplus KIA.
Kanavi spoke to Sheep Esports a few minutes after HLE's victory against T1. The jungler reflects on the series, the team’s current form, and their preparations for the challenges ahead.
After winning MSI, Hanwha Life Esports were guaranteed a spot at Worlds 2026 as long as they avoided finishing last in the LCK Legend Group.
Following Hanwha Life Esports' victory over T1, toplaner Zeus spoke in an interview about his Player of the Match award, his choice of Cho'Gath, and HLE's recent losing streak.
Fresh off their MSI 2026 victory just days ago, Hanwha Life Esports enter this competition with the ambition of establishing themselves as the best team in the world at the mid-season mark. Zeka shares his thoughts on the topic following their qualification for the playoffs.
After a swift game on his first day in the competition, Gumayusi returned for Sheep Esports on their recent days of competitions, including the victory at MSI.
Last year, Gen.G won MSI and EWC 2025 in just one week. HLE are in a similar spot and could match that feat despite one of the heaviest schedules in League of Legends history.
Thanks to Hanwha Life Esports' victory at the MSI 2026, the team will only need to qualify for the LCK Rounds 3–4 Playoffs to officially secure a spot at Worlds.
After his MSI 2026 victory, Zeus becomes the only player to have won First Stand, MSI, Worlds, the Asian Games and the Esports World Cup.
After their victory in the MSI 2026 final, the toplaner and midlaner of Hanwha Life Esports become the first players to win the three major international competitions.
