The LPL Second Split playoffs are about to kick off with the loser bracket final. The day before the match, several "big events" happened within IG. Meiko, the team's support player, accidentally slipped and injured his arm while resting at home. Fortunately, it was only a soft tissue injury that will heal after some rest, so it won't affect the Third Split. In addition, IG officially announced that they had won a defamation case against Xuan Shen for slandering players and infringing on their reputation rights.

The LCK Mid-Season Cup Qualifiers' winners' bracket final has concluded. HLE faced T1 in a best-of-five series that lasted only four games, with HLE securing the victory and claiming the first LCK spot at MSI. Since both teams were in the winners' bracket, HLE's win directly grants them the LCK's first seed, meaning they will start the MSI main event directly. The remaining second seed will be decided among T1, KT, and GEN.

In the Valorant London Masters playoffs, VIT defeated TH 2-0. Map 1: Breeze. Defending side TH: Chamber / Viper / Sova / Sage / Yoru. Attacking side VIT: Sova / KAY/O / Jett / Viper / Harbor. VIT claimed the first two rounds of the first half. In the fourth round, Derke secured three kills to help VIT win that round, giving VIT a 4-0 lead.

After HLE secured first place in the regular season of LCK's second split, many LPL viewers looked forward to HLE facing TES at MSI, especially since TES mid-laner Xiaonianyou had repeatedly criticized HLE coach Redmi's drafting in interviews. HLE lived up to those expectations, defeating T1 3-1 in a pivotal LCK playoff match, becoming the LCK region

In the 2026 LCK MSI Qualifier match, HLE and T1 faced off in the first showdown, a game that was crucial for both sides. This was not only a chance to be the first to advance to MSI, but neither team wanted to fall into the lower bracket to face GEN, who would be powered by a rampaging Chovy. Losing in the lower bracket would likely mean missing out on the ticket to MSI!

The Swiss stage of the 2026 Valorant London Masters has concluded, and every match brought both expected and unexpected outcomes. If I had to pick the most surprising game, it would be NRG vs. FUT—NRG, despite having match point, still chose to use rifles against an eco round for the sake of strategic coordination, only to waste time and lose their composure. Watching that match truly gave me a newfound respect for the championship-winning IGL!

Greetings to all LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World of Esports. Not long ago, IG officially announced a legal victory in their defamation case against streamer Xuan Shen. The court ruled that Xuan Shen committed defamation against TheShy and Rookie, ordering a public apology and a series of compensations. Thus, the Xuan Shen incident, which sparked widespread discussion last year, has concluded with IG's triumph.
