The second split of the League of Legends professional scene is officially underway, and the road to MSI is starting to take shape. Early results are already giving us a glimpse into which teams are ready to dominate and which ones are still finding their footing.

LCK: Early Leaders Emerging

In Korea, Gen.G Esports, Dplus Kia, and Nongshim Red Force have come out strong with undefeated starts. These teams are setting the tone early, but the pressure is far from over.

And then there’s T1 — a team that never stays quiet for long. Even if they’re not leading right now, their experience and championship pedigree make them one of the most dangerous squads in the league.

LEC: Familiar Powerhouses

In Europe, Karmine Corp and G2 Esports are off to perfect starts. Both teams look sharp early, positioning themselves as serious contenders for the top seed.

Fnatic sits just behind at 1–1, but history tells us they are never out of the fight. This region always finds a way to stay competitive deep into the split.

LTA: A New Era Begins

The Americas region has split into North and South, creating a fresh competitive landscape. FlyQuest leads the North, while the South sees a three-way tie between Leviatan, Pain Gaming, and Vivo Keyd Stars.

This region might be the most unpredictable — new teams, new rivalries, and plenty of room for breakout performances.

Meanwhile, Nirvana has yet to start — but all eyes will be on Royal Never Give Up when they enter the mix.

LCP: Rising Regions

The Pacific region continues to grow, bringing new talent into the spotlight. These teams may not have the same global recognition yet, but they absolutely have the ability to compete.
