LCK squads hold a 69.5% implied probability in the Worlds 2026 winning-region market because four Korean teams qualified—Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports (2026 MSI champions), T1, and Dplus KIA—bringing unmatched roster depth, playoff experience, and consistent international results. LCK sides have captured the majority of recent major titles through superior macro execution and mechanical talent, with Gen.G claiming the LCK title and HLE advancing deep at MSI. LPL teams (AL, BLG, TES, IG) sit at 24.5% after strong domestic splits and BLG’s MSI final appearance, yet they continue to trail top LCK opponents in head-to-head series. LEC (5.0%), led by G2, and the remaining regions trail further behind due to fewer slots and weaker cross-region records, leaving Western or minor-league upsets as low-probability outcomes ahead of the October 15 start in North America.
