Will LCK and LPL teams face more difficult?
As is known, large areas such as LCK, LPL (also two areas with the most World Championships) have been defaulted by Riot 4 for the largest tournament in League of Legends village for many years. In addition, Riot has just been edited to allow the MSI championship team to have the right to go straight to the Worlds group stage of the same year. This is also said to be “buff” to add LCK, LPL when the MSI championship is also almost entirely located in these two areas.
For many years, there is always at least 1 seed No. 4 of LCK/LPL to participate in the Worlds final
But recently, according to YSKM – former Invictus Gaming player shared on the stream channel, since 2025, LCK and LPL No. 4 seed teams will confront another match to choose the team to attend Worlds. No one knows where YSKM gets information from but also makes the community extremely controversial.
Because, in at least 3 consecutive Worlds, Seed 4 of the LCK and LPL areas all performed very well in this arena. Even 2 times the Seed 4 of LCK won the championship (Drx, T1). Therefore, leaving the Seed 4 team can make many people regret.
YSKM said that from 2025, the No. 4 seed of LCK and LPL will play an additional 1 match to select the team to Worlds
What is the true information related to LCK, LPL?
Not to mention, 1 of 2 Seed 4 is eliminated, which means that the number of participants will be reduced. However, up to now, Riot has not officially announced this. In addition, LCK – LPL is also 2 of 3 areas not merged into large areas. Riot has not yet announced the increase in the merger areas. Therefore, there is no reason for them to cut the capacity of LCK – LPL.
However, Riot has not officially announced and this NPH will have to consider very carefully because it is not sure that the No. 4 seed is weaker than the above teams.
On the other hand, information comes from YSKM and the player himself does not disclose any source for his notice. Therefore, the community should only stop at a doubt. When the leading sources of news of League of Legends village or Riot himself have not yet spoken, it all only lies at rumors.
