LCK squads hold the clearest edge entering Worlds 2026, reflected in the 67.5% implied probability, after Hanwha Life Esports captured MSI 2026 by defeating Bilibili Gaming in a five-game final. The region secured four qualification slots through that result plus strong LCK playoff finishes, with Gen.G, T1, and others advancing amid dominant domestic form. LPL teams trail at 26.5% despite sending four representatives and fielding stacked rosters like BLG; historical head-to-head gaps in recent international best-of-fives favor Korean squads overall. European, North American, and other regions sit well below 6% due to shallower recent results against the top two leagues and limited roster depth in high-stakes knockout stages.
