Given the incredibly high level of competition in the LCK, it seems that T1 might just not be able to qualify for MSI this year, with HLE, DK, and GEN seemingly dominating the region.
Following several weeks of matches in the Spring Regular Season, we have seen some incredible developments, and given the Fearless Draft changes that have further elevated the competitive experience for both players and fans, League of Legends Esports is looking to become quite the powerhouse.

Winner: GEN
Once again GEN proved why they are one of the best teams in the LCK currently as their undefeated reign during the Regular Season so far has been more than excellent. Despite KT desperately holding onto dear life and sneakily stealing the Baron, GEN was able to push through and end the game in a very decisive manner, kicking off the series 1-0.

Another straightforward victory for GEN further cementing their domination in the LCK this split, further proving how incredibly Chovy is alongside the likes of Canyon, and Ruler as KT seemed very lackluster. Truly a testament to how competitive League of Legends can be brutal, no matter your skill level, as GEN are possibly the top contenders to win the LCK Split.
