LCK versus LPL leads the matchup market at 55.5% because the November 8 semifinal pits T1 against Bilibili Gaming, with the winner facing already-qualified Gen.G. Recent quarterfinal results eliminated all non-LCK/LPL teams, leaving only Korean and Chinese squads in the final four after sweeps by Gen.G over Invictus Gaming and Bilibili Gaming over Dplus KIA. T1’s 3-1 quarterfinal win over Karmine Corp keeps an all-LCK final alive at 44.5%, but models and recent form give Bilibili Gaming a modest edge in the head-to-head. Historical LCK/LPL dominance and the absence of LEC or LCS representation further suppress “Other” to 0.2%. The closely contested semifinal directly drives the narrow split between the two leading outcomes.
Regler
This market will resolve according to the regional matchup of the Grand Final of the 2026 League of Legends World Championship (Worlds 2026), currently scheduled for November 14, 2026, in New York City. A team's region is the league through which it qualified for Worlds 2026: the LCK (South Korea), the LPL (China), the LEC (Europe / EMEA), the LCS (North America), the LCP (Asia-Pacific), or the CBLOL (Brazil). A team that enters the Swiss Stage through the Play-In keeps the region it qualified through. "LCK vs LCK" corresponds to a Grand Final between two LCK teams, "LCK vs LPL" to a Grand Final between one LCK team and one LPL team, and "LPL vs LPL" to a Grand Final between two LPL teams. If the Grand Final is any other matchup, including any matchup involving a team from the LEC, LCS, LCP, or CBLOL, this market will resolve to "Other". Only the two teams officially confirmed as the participants in the Grand Final match matter; the outcome of the Grand Final does not matter. If the Grand Final participants are not determined by December 14, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the tournament is canceled or postponed past that date, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizer, Riot Games, via the LoL Esports website (https://lolesports.com). However, a consensus of credible reporting (e.g., Liquipedia at https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/World_Championship/2026) may also be used.
