Hanwha Life Esports leads among named contenders after recently claiming the LCK’s top MSI seed by defeating T1 in the Road to MSI qualifier, highlighting strong recent form and domestic dominance that traders view as a solid platform heading into the Daejeon-hosted event. Bilibili Gaming sits close behind following its resilient LPL Split 2 title run, which included multiple lower-bracket victories before sweeping Top Esports in the grand final to secure first-seed status. T1 remains competitive due to its historical MSI pedigree and consistent international experience despite the recent LCK setback. G2 and lower-probability sides trail as underdogs with thinner recent international results. With the field still wide open ahead of the June 28 start, the substantial allocation to “Other” reflects broad uncertainty across the remaining qualified rosters and meta developments.
