At the end of 2026, when Riot Games officially announced the schedule and format for the League of Legends World Championship 2026, a major change caused the esports community to buzz. The Play-In Stage – the first direct qualifying round to the Main Stage – is no longer a short competition between LPL and LCK as in previous years. Instead, Riot introduced a double-elimination format where all matches are Bo5, opening up a longer battle for teams from both major and minor regions. Specifically, four teams will compete: LEC with third seed, LCS with third seed, CBLoL with second seed, and LCP with third seed. Among them, MVK Esports from LCP – the new merged league from PCS, VCS, LJL and other minor leagues – is expected to be the standout representative of the Asia-Pacific region. Many experts believe this change is not only competitive but also an opportunity for teams like MVK to prove their status on the global map.
