LCK and LPL squads continue to set the pace entering Worlds 2026, with Hanwha Life Esports claiming MSI 2026 and Bilibili Gaming dominating LPL splits while T1 pursues a fourth straight title. Global power rankings place both Eastern regions well ahead of the LEC and LCS, reflecting deeper talent pools, superior macro execution, and consistent international results. Western teams posted sub-40 percent win rates against LCK or LPL opponents across recent MSI and Worlds events, with no best-of-series victories in the last several cycles. Qualified rosters underscore the gap: four LCK and four LPL sides versus three each from Europe and North America. These structural and recent-performance factors underpin the market’s strong consensus against a Western champion.
