The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) has a rich history in LoL esports. Its teams bagged a total of six Worlds titles so far, but in recent years, LPL squads have been dominating international tournaments.
DWG KIA was the last LCK team to bring home the Summoner’s Cup in Worlds 2020. The team came close to defending the throne in Worlds 2021, but lost 3-2 to reigning world champions Edward Gaming.
This year, the LCK will send four teams to Worlds 2022, determined by the LCK Summer Playoffs, Regional Finals, and championship points.
