LCK teams hold the strongest implied probability at 67.5% due to consistent international success, including Hanwha Life Esports claiming the 2026 MSI title and LCK earning an extra Worlds slot as one of the top two regions there. Deep rosters featuring Gen.G, T1—the three-time defending world champions—and other playoff contenders provide multiple paths to a Korean winner, supported by strong regular-season form heading into the final split. LPL follows at 25.5% with competitive depth from squads like BLG but trails in recent cross-regional head-to-head results. Western regions such as LEC and LCS sit much lower, reflecting limited recent advancement past early knockout stages at MSI and prior Worlds events, while minor regions remain long shots given qualification and performance gaps.
