LCK Cup 2026 Final MC Suddenly Passes Away Due to Illness
In early 2026, KeSPA and Riot made a surprising move by hosting the LCK Cup 2026 final outside South Korea for the first time at Kai Tak Arena (Hong Kong). One of the two MCs leading the event was female MC Lillian Shi Keying (Thi Khải Oánh) — who had just debuted in Esports with this match. Recently, the Esports and entertainment communities across China and the League of Legends audience were shocked to learn that Lillian passed away from cancer.
Notably, she announced her illness just last month after discovering an ovarian tumor. However, the disease progressed rapidly, and the combined burden of medical expenses and finances forced both her and her family to accept her fate. She took her last breath on the morning of June 21 (local time), mourned by family and friends.
On the MC’s personal Instagram page, many fans left farewell messages under the post announcing her passing.
– Thank you for the sunshine you brought to the world and your optimism. See you again
– Wishing you happiness and peace
– You will no longer suffer
