Kings of the group stage: Only 2 LCK teams have failed to make it out of groups in Worlds history

Korean teams have, as a rule, been prodigies of League of Legends from the moment they entered the world of esports, thanks to their discipline, game knowledge, and unrivaled mechanical prowess. Although we’re used to them always advancing to the knockout stage, the fact is that no LCK teams have been eliminated from the group for four years straight. And only two have failed to make it out in history.

The final round of the group stage came to a conclusion yesterday, on Oct. 17, with Gen.G and RNG securing the two final spots in the knockout stage. With Gen.G making it out of the group stage, they made history—every LCK team have moved past the play-in stage and the group stage, and into the knockout stage since 2018.
