What’s Happening in LCK This Week?
No major changes in the LCK standings this week. Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports (HLE) remain at the top, with both teams already qualified for the upper bracket of LCK Road to MSI. Gen.G continues its flawless run, now 12-0 in matches, while mid laner Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon leads the Player of the Match (POM) standings with 800 points—meaning he’s earned 8 POM awards out of Gen.G’s 12 wins.
HLE trails closely at 11-1, with top laner Choi "Zeus" Woo-je ranking second in POM points (500). The two titans will clash again on May 21 in what promises to be the marquee match of the current LCK split.
T1 extended its winning streak to 4 matches, without dropping a single map. Their most recent 2-0 clean sweep of Dplus KIA (DK) (where T1’s –1.5 Handicap paid +157) solidified their #3 ranking.
DK finally snapped its 6-match losing streak on May 13 by defeating DRX—the same team they’d beaten before the slump began. They now sit at #5 (5-7).
Nongshim RedForce (NS, 6-6) holds #4 despite an upset loss to last-place FearX (DNF), who secured their first match win of the season on May 11 (DNF Money Line: +322).
KT Rolster (KT) has begun its climb, with 2 wins last week pushing it to #6. Notably, the top 6 teams after this round will qualify for Road to MSI.
Upcoming Highlight Matches:
- May 15: KT (+445*) vs. HLE (-738*)
- May 18: Gen.G vs. T1
- May 21: Gen.G vs. HLEM

What’s Happening in LPL This Week?
The top two spots remain unchanged this week, with Top Esports (TES, 13-2) and Anyone’s Legend (AL, 11-4) continuing to lead the pack. TES extended its dominance with a flawless 3-match win streak. AL stumbled against FunPlus Phoenix (FPX) on May 9 (FPX Money Line: +355), marking one of the season’s biggest upsets.
Bilibili Gaming (BLG, 10-5) has surged to #3 after its roster changes, riding a 6-match win streak.
Meanwhile, JD Gaming (JDG) faced turbulence, being clean swept by TES and Invictus Gaming (IG) but it managed to rebound with a 2-0 win over Weibo Gaming (WBG) to reclaim #4. Notably, the top 4 teams advance directly to LPL knockout stage.
IG (8-7, #5) is rising behind top laner Kang "TheShy" Seung-lok's improved form—now flexing tank picks like Poppy to enable teammates. His stability powered their 2-0 upset over JDG.
Weibo Gaming (WBG, 6-9) spirals further, now on a 5-match losing streak (including losses to bottom-tier TT and NiP), dropping to #7.
Upcoming Highlight Matches:
- May 17: WBG vs. TES
