LCK squads hold the strongest implied probability at 67.5% because the region secured four Worlds 2026 slots, including MSI 2026 champion Hanwha Life Esports, and demonstrated superior depth through recent LCK playoffs where Gen.G, T1, and Dplus KIA all qualified. Multiple LCK rosters maintain consistent international form and roster stability heading into the Swiss and knockout stages. The LPL trails at 24.5% despite earning an extra berth via Bilibili Gaming’s MSI runner-up finish and its own four-team contingent, reflecting historical head-to-head edges for Korean teams in best-of-five series. Western regions trail further behind, with LEC and LCS squads showing incremental improvement at MSI but lacking the sustained depth or recent title pedigree to close the gap. Trader pricing reflects LCK’s established advantage in player development, patch adaptation, and multi-team strength entering the 2026 tournament.
