With the matches on August 23 wrapping things up, this year's LCK regular season has officially come to a close. This season gave us the kind of absolute mayhem where no clear powerhouse emerged until the very wire. Through sheer twists and turns, first place went to Gen.G, holding onto the top spot for three consecutive years. Gen.G has had a rather eventful time, racking up their highest loss record since signing Chovy, yet they managed to claw back with a five-match win streak fueled by the resurrection of Ruler, just barely keeping that number one crown.

Meanwhile, sitting pretty in second place is Hanwha Life Esports, tied with Gen.G in both match wins and set differential. While they missed out on first due to the head-to-head record against Gen.G, they made quite a statement by shutting out T1 2-0 in the final match of the regular season. T1 secured third, Dplus KIA took fourth, and kt Rolster limped into fifth after sliding down a rather painful six-match losing streak.

Now that the regular season is out of the way, the LCK dives straight into the playoffs starting on August 26. You will definitely want to keep a close eye on who actually takes home the ultimate trophy, won't you? Adieu, and best of luck.
