The LCK is returning to play for this season’s Summer Split. As the global League of Legends scene prepares for the final stretch of the competitive calendar, Korea as a region has just one objective on its mind with only a few months left to go in the season: win Worlds. After three consecutive second-place finishes at international tournaments, Korea could send three, if not four, capable teams to North America later this year with a chance of hoisting the Summoner’s Cup.
Last month, T1 came just one game away from winning this year’s Mid-Season Invitational. But, despite not winning internationally, they’re coming back to a league where they’ve yet to drop a match. T1 owned Korea in the first half of the year, but they’ll return to domestic play with a wiped slate. All teams in the league will kick off the Summer Split with a completely clean 0-0 record with absolutely nothing carrying over from the first half of the season.
