LCK Playoffs

The LCK playoffs will start on February 12, the first round is a knockout round, and if you lose, you will end up and go home, and you will win to advance to the second round of double defeat. DK has the right to choose the opponent who advanced to the first round in the second round. Since this year is the first round of T1 and HLE meeting, this season could see the most unbalanced playoff in the history of the LCK. That is to say, T1 will play against HLE and GenG in a row, and then play DK after winning the showdown.

DK will not pick the winner of T1 and HLE

There are very few teams in South Korea who take the initiative to trouble T1 in the playoffs when they are given the right to choose. A living example of this is KT, which chose T1 as its opponent in the playoffs after being first in the regular season, only to be defeated by T1 both times. DK won the group stage again after many years, and they will not be able to choose T1 again. Even if GenG has a high win rate in the past, T1 has been lost to an opponent in the other half of the playoffs. So this year's first phase of the LCK playoffs is probably the same as the picture above, T1 and HLE and GenG will be in the same division.

The top three gathered

From the 2022-2024 season, among the 6 championships of the Korean LCK, GenG won 4, T1 won 1, and HLE won 1, and it can be said that these three teams are the strongest champions in the past region. In particular, T1 has won 2 championships and 1 runner-up in the global finals for 3 consecutive years, and GenG has also won the MSI championship. HLE also spent a lot of money to reinforce Zeus this year, so you can imagine how strong these three teams are in the same division.

The bad news is that the first battle is a life and death game, and the good news is followed by a double defeat

There is a life-or-death game between T1 and HLE, and it is also a global BP, and if the two sides really show equal strength in this game, then everyone will see 50 hero battles between the top teams in the LCK. Although it seems cruel for these three teams to be together, fortunately, the second round started with a double-elimination format, and there is a margin for error. Of course, T1 and HLE are destined to have a team finish the new season early.

Smash is in the global spotlight

T1 boldly replaced Gumayusi with a newcomer this year, and the results were very good. He is also the only player to have just debuted on six teams in this year's playoffs. The bottomless hero pool, the extremely strong individual Carry ability, and the strength of their own power also make Keria's performance to the next level. There has not been a 1+1>2 high-yield combination in T1 team history for many years. T1's recent outstanding performance has also made the voice of their championship louder and louder. The last time they lifted the LCK trophy was in the Spring 2022 season.

Spoiler

DK ushered in the return of Beryl this year, and the top list also has a 17-year-old newcomer to the team, who originally did not perform well in Kespa at the end of last year, but did not expect to play almost perfectly in the new season, winning all the group stage and advancing to the playoffs. This also makes DK a veritable "spoiler" this year, and the former king, who has been silent for many years, seems to have awakened again.

Zeus hits T1

One of the biggest highlights of the playoffs, the first-round meeting between T1 and HLE, also made many people can't wait to see how Zeus will perform against his old club T1. This year's South Korean LCK Phase 1 playoffs will be very exciting, and the top three of the global BP will be exciting.
