The LCK is actively in the group stage, with week 4 fixtures soon coming to an end. By the end of the week, every team will have played eight of their 18 group stage fixtures.<\/p>\n
It has been an eventful summer split in Korea, as there have been some surprise results. Kwangdong Freecs handed T1 their first league loss in 2022, ending their 24-game winning streak.<\/p>\n
Gen.G Esports have had a perfect run so far, winning all six games they have featured in. However, they will square off against T1 on July 8 in what is arguably the most anticipated League of Legends<\/a> fixture in Korea this summer.<\/p>\n A win for T1 would hand Gen.G their first loss in the split. There is not much to separate both teams on several esports betting sites<\/a> as T1 has a win odd of $1.99 despite Gen.G being the favourites at $1.83.<\/p>\n Brion Esports’ fate is all but settled, as they are yet to win a single series in seven outings. They have won only one map this summer, which came against Hanwha Life Esports, the ninth-placed team.<\/p>\n The top six teams after the group stage is played to a conclusion on August 14, will advance to the LCK playoffs. All playoff matches will follow a best-of-5 format, with the first-placed team getting the opportunity to choose their opponent from the first round. The LCK grand finals<\/a> will be played on August 28.<\/p>\n Whoever emerges victorious after all is said and done will walk home with approximately $155,364 of the $291,307 prize pool. The winner also gets direct seeding to the 2022 LoL World Championship.<\/p>\n
