Gen.G’s dominant run through the 2026 Worlds Swiss stage (3-0) and quarterfinal sweep of LYON has positioned the LCK side as the clear leader in trader consensus for the post-Worlds Global Power Rankings top spot. The team’s consistent map dominance, recent form, and head-to-head results against strong international opposition have driven the implied probability higher than regional peers. Bilibili Gaming’s straight-sets quarterfinal win over Dplus KIA keeps the LPL contender in range at lower odds, while T1’s 3-1 Swiss record and upcoming quarterfinal against Karmine Corp leave less margin for a top ranking. Multiple eliminated squads, including several LPL and LCK sides, face steep barriers from limited playoff impact and weaker recent international showings.
This market will resolve to the team ranked number 1 on the Global Power Rankings at the end of the 2026 competitive year. The market resolves to whichever team occupies the number 1 position on the official Global Power Rankings once the final 2026 ranking is published following the conclusion of the 2026 League of Legends World Championship. If two or more teams are tied for number 1 on the final 2026 ranking, this market will resolve in favor of the team whose listed team name comes first alphabetically.
