The statistics shown here are based on weighted per-minute values across all maps, scaled by the average match duration to estimate full-match performance. Metrics like K/D/A are weighted by each map's length, so longer games have more influence. Metrics already normalized (e.g. GPM, XPM) or totals (like Creep Score) are averaged equally across maps.

The LCK 2026 Road to MSI qualifiers take place from June 6 to 14 in South Korea. Teams are competing for two slots at MSI 2026 and one spot at EWC 2026. You can follow the schedule and results through this link.
