All three teams are headed to the EWC in a few weeks, while G2 and KC are the LEC’s representatives at MSI

LCK

The LCK2026 Road to MSI tournament started this past week with BRION being eliminated by Dplus, before Dplus narrowly found themselves eliminated by KT Rolster. The LCK will decide its final two MSI participants this week.

LPL

And in theLPL, LGD Gaming and JD Gaming were eliminated from the LPL 2026 Split 2 playoffs, ending their chances of a trip to the international events of June and July. Team WE fell to the lower bracket of the playoffs after a 3-0 defeat to Top Esports, and will find out who they’ll face later this week as Bilibili Gaming and Anyone’s Legend Clash.

He's made a mockery of what is supposed to be Very Serious Business by smurfing his way through the stage with a 2.27 rating average. AVERAGE.

They were joined by FUT who beat G2 in a barnburner, with FlyQuest (obv) and GamerLegion (less obv) bombing out 0-3.

TYLOO have marched to 2-1 with BetBoom, Monte and BIG, as Astralis, M80, Legacy and MIBR respectively dropped down.

Qualifiers

June is officially qualifier month. On the heels of the Esports World Cup qualifiers, things shift into The Interantional qualifiers. The open qualifiers for all five regions begin tomorrow, June 9th. There are two sets of opens that will funnel winning teams into the closed qualifiers for each region. Closed qualifiers begin for all regions next week, June 15th.

There are bound to be some interesting, if not entertaining, stacks headed through opens so it is worth keeping an eye out for them.

Regional Affairs

Due to the nature of open, followed by closed qualifiers for The International, all regions are pretty much focused on that the next few weeks.

Europe

European Pro League Season 38 started on June 4th and will continue through the 21st. There is a prize pool of $20,000 on the line and teams participating in it are probably looking to use this as advanced scrims for the open or closed qualifiers for TI. All twelve teams were directly invited.
