After Zeus left T1 to continue his career with Hanwha Life Esports, his new team has already secured two trophies and is now considered the top favorite to win Worlds 2025. The first step towards a strong Worlds performance has been taken: thanks to their victory at The First Stand, LCK will have two teams directly in the Bracket Stage. This significantly increases the region’s chances of sending four teams to Worlds 2025.

Now, the focus shifts back to regional leagues. LPL, the top Chinese league, is set to kick off this Saturday.
