The Esports World Cup 2026 Korea Qualifier is scheduled to take place from May 4 to May 26, 2026. This market will resolve according to which teams qualify for the EWC 2026 Main Event through the Korea Qualifier. If the listed team officially qualifies as one of the teams advancing from the Korea Qualifier to the EWC 2026 Main Event, the market will resolve to "Yes." Otherwise, it will resolve to "No." Ties in standings will be broken according to the official Esports World Cup Foundation rules. If the Esports World Cup 2026 is canceled, postponed indefinitely, or if the official list of EWC 2026 participants is not published by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM, ET, this market will resolve to "No." The primary resolution source will be official information from the Esports World Cup (https://esportsworldcup.com/). However, a consensus of credible reporting (e.g., Liquipedia at https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/Esports_World_Cup/2026/Korea) may also be used.The EWC 2026 Korea Qualifier pits nine LCK teams in a double-elimination bracket for two main event slots at the Riyadh-hosted Esports World Cup, with Gen.G absent as defending champions. Key May 12 Round 2 results advanced T1—sweeping BNK FEARX 2-0—and Dplus KIA—edging Hanwha Life Esports 2-1—to their Bo5 upper bracket final on May 25, solidifying their favorable paths amid Fearless Draft matchups at Sangam SOOP Colosseum. HLE drops to lower bracket Round 2 on May 19 versus a May 18 winner, joined by KT Rolster facing BRION and DN SOOPers versus Nongshim RedForce. LCK Round 1 seeding and early upsets like FEARX over KT underscore ongoing volatility through May 26.
