Dplus KIA Complete the LCK Lineup
Dplus KIA secured the final LCK spot after defeating KT Rolster 3-1. The victory guaranteed DK a top-four finish in the LCK playoffs and marked their return to the World Championship after missing the 2025 edition.
The result was particularly significant for ShowMaker and his teammates, who had previously been swept 3-0 by KT Rolster earlier in the playoffs. Their comeback victory kept their Worlds hopes alive and ultimately secured their place on the international stage.
Gen.G and T1 Already Qualified
Gen.G became the second LCK team to qualify after defeating KT Rolster 3-0 in the upper bracket. The result also guaranteed T1 a top-four finish, automatically securing their Worlds qualification.
For Gen.G, the qualification marks their seventh consecutive Worlds appearance, while T1 will once again compete on the game's biggest international stage.
Hanwha Life Esports Secure Their Spot
Hanwha Life Esports were the first LCK team guaranteed a place at Worlds 2026. Their qualification was secured through their performance at the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational, where their run helped guarantee the LCK four Worlds slots.
With all four representatives now confirmed, attention turns toward the final LCK playoff matches, which will determine the teams' 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seeds for Worlds.
