The First Stand 2025 group stage is in full swing, and with just two matchdays left, the standings are incredibly tight. In fact, only Hanwha Life Esports can breathe relatively easily—two dominant victories in two matches have put them in a strong position to secure an advantage for LCK at MSI 2025.

For the rest of the teams, the situation is both interesting and complicated. Everyone has one win, but some have one loss while others have two (due to some teams already having their day off, while others still have it ahead). Since tiebreakers are determined primarily by head-to-head results, the battle to avoid last place is very complex and tangled.
If Top Esports loses to CTBC Flying Oyster, there's a high chance they'll be eliminated from the tournament after the group stage. If that happens, it would be a massive blow to the Chinese LoL scene. However, if TES wins, things could get really interesting. That’s why we highly recommend watching the upcoming matches—especially since the Fearless Draft format has genuinely made the games even more exciting.
