The 2026 World Star Challengers Invitational features 16 Tier 2 League of Legends squads from China, Korea, APAC, Americas, and EMEA, with group-stage double round-robin best-of-ones beginning September 20 and single-elimination best-of-five playoffs running September 27–October 2. Recent regional qualifiers have highlighted strong academy sides such as BLG Junior, EDG Youth, and ZSK from the LDL alongside DK Challengers as the Asia Masters champion, while LCK CL candidates including T1 Esports Academy and KT Challengers plus EMEA representatives like Solary and Galions remain in contention. Trader positioning reflects regional depth in player development pipelines, seeding pots that limit same-region group pairings, and historical dominance of Korean and Chinese rosters in international Tier 2 events. Schedule congestion with overlapping EMEA Masters adjustments and final qualification matches through mid-September add uncertainty ahead of the draw.
