LCK Regional Finals 2022 (Last Chance For Worlds)

The LCK finals are on Sunday seeing the 2 clear finest groups in Korea of Gen.G and T1 going through off for the LCK title. A repeat of the spring finals means each groups mechanically qualify for worlds and are principally combating for the highest seed at Worlds. This leaves the opposite two spots open for the regional finals out of the opposite 4 high championship point-getters. The 4 remaining groups are so as of factors DRX, KT Rolster, Liiv SANDBOX, and DWG Kia. The regional finals happen in a waterfall bracket format which can see LSB and DK pitted in opposition to one another for a world spot with the loser going through the winner of KT and DRX.

Liiv Sandbox vs Damwon Kia Gaming

Sandbox lastly will get a good battle for a world’s spot as they tackle Damwon Kia for the third spot within the LCK. Sandbox’s season was from zero to hero because the readdition of Prince made this workforce into the most effective and most fun in Korea. Sandbox is just not frightened of any workforce in Korea and has proven that with their playstyle all through your complete season. Prince is the obvious keep it up the workforce however Clozer has reemerged as a robust participant after struggling for the primary a part of the yr whereas Croco and Kael have been massively impactful all yr. If Sandbox performs their recreation they may stay the heavy favorites on this matchup and may take a spot at worlds for Korea.

Damwon is in my thoughts essentially the most disappointing workforce on the planet this break up. They readded Nuguri and had expectations of successful worlds once more. What truly occurred could be inconsistency throughout the board as they struggled in opposition to different high groups in Korea successful simply two collection in opposition to different playoff groups. For a workforce with the expertise that they’ve performed as a fringe playoff workforce is unacceptable. They have been gifted a win in opposition to KT from the cloud dragon fiasco however you may by no means depend this workforce out. It’s been stated all yr but when Showmaker, Nuguri, and Canyon play to their star stage that they’ll this workforce will make worlds whether or not in opposition to Sandbox or within the decrease bracket.

Prediction: Liiv Sandbox 3-0

This recreation will likely be performed Thursday, September 1, at 1:00 am PST

KT Rolster vs DRX

DRX after a disappointing season and KT after a disappointing playoff look will face off in opposition to one another to even compete for a spot at worlds. KT will are available because the heavy favorites as they completed the common season stable with Aiming, particularly, trying like a top-five ADC in Korea. They have been favorites over a struggling Damwon workforce within the first spherical of the playoffs however determined that Cloud Soul was extra necessary than successful the sport so right here they’re within the backside half of the regional finals. KT continues to be an excellent workforce with robust gamers throughout the map. In the event that they play their recreation and don’t tunnel imaginative and prescient Cloud soul they need to win this fairly simply.

DRX alternatively struggled closely within the common season entering into the playoffs because the final seed after which persevering with to battle within the playoffs dropping 3-1 to Sandbox. Deft continues to be Deft however with some assist in the opposite lanes and a very good efficiency from Pyosik they are able to discover a method via the typically shaky KT workforce. Who is aware of perhaps KT received’t really feel like defending their nexus once more.

Prediction KT 3-1
