All Four “Giants” of LCK in Action
Entering the second week of LCK 2026 Rounds 1-2, the top teams are certainly names that cannot be overlooked. From Gen.G to T1, HLE, and even DK, none had a particularly great first week of matches. It is quite surprising that the current top spots are not held by Gen.G or T1, but by KT and NS. Not to mention, on the very first day of the second week, DK will face HLE while T1 takes on Gen.G, meaning no “giant” can afford to be complacent.
HLE will need a strong opponent to continue improving their performance, but also one that is manageable to regain confidence after their loss to T1 last week, and DK is a very suitable name at this moment. Meanwhile, the highlight of the second week arrives early as Gen.G and T1 clash in the first match for both teams this week.
Both T1 and Gen.G finished week 1 with a record of 1 win – 1 loss. However, both teams’ victories were against opponents considered very strong. Therefore, it can be said that T1 and Gen.G have temporarily overcome their crises, but the “El Clasico” is likely to bring one team back to their issues.
The second week of matches for Gen.G, T1, and HLE will all face very “tough” opponents. However, the team that can finish with a perfect record will take a significant step towards solidifying their position on the leaderboard, as well as building a good psychological momentum for the remaining journey in the first half of the season when all strong competitors have been surpassed.
