South Korean LCK teams initially dominated, with Gen.G, Hanwha Life Esports, T1, and Dplus KIA all winning their opening matches.

By Day 4, Gen.G and Dplus KIA have successfully secured their positions in the quarterfinals. Recent match results include victories for T1 against CTBC Flying Oyster, Bilibili Gaming over Movistar KOI, LOS against Team Secret Whales, and Team Liquid Alienware against Anyone’s Legend. As the stage nears its conclusion, several teams face elimination. LPL’s Anyone’s Legend and LCP’s Team Secret Whales have been eliminated after recording three losses. High-stakes upcoming matchups include Hanwha Life Esports facing elimination against G2 Esports, alongside critical 1-2 pool matches involving CFO against Karmine Corp and Team Liquid Alienware against LOS. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-23: LCK teams dominate opening day of Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage LCK teams Gen.
