LCK squads hold a dominant 72.5% implied probability because four Korean teams—Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, T1, and Dplus KIA—qualified after strong 2026 domestic playoffs and international results, including HLE’s MSI title. LPL teams sit at 23.0% on the strength of their four entrants and consistent depth, though recent head-to-heads and power rankings still favor LCK rosters. Western regions trail sharply, with LEC at 3.9%, LCS at 1.7%, and the rest below 1%, reflecting narrower talent pools, limited playoff success at prior Worlds, and early Play-In outcomes that eliminated most non-Asian squads. Swiss Stage opening matches on October 23 underscore these gaps, with LCK and LPL seeds expected to advance at far higher rates.
