Titles by area: LCK 10, LPL 3, Europe and Taiwan one each
Korea controls the list. Groups from the LCK won 10 of the fifteen finals, consisting of the run of 5 directly from 2013 to 2017. China’s LPL broke through with Invictus Gaming in 2018 and won 3 titles in overall, including FunPlus Phoenix in 2019 and Edward Gaming in 2021. The only other winners are Fnatic, champs of the very first Worlds in 2011 when the occasion was held at DreamHack in Sweden, and the Taipei Assassins in 2012.
No North American group has actually reached a last. That stat hangs over every LCS lineup that takes a trip to Worlds, and 2026 did not alter it.
T1 and Faker: 6 titles in thirteen years
Faker was on the lineup for all 6 T1 champions, from 2013 in Los Angeles to the 3-2 win over KT Rolster in Chengdu in 2025. The last 3 was available in a row, a three-peat no other group has actually handled. T1’s run ended in the 2026 semifinal, a 3-1 loss to Bilibili Gaming on November 8.
The closest anybody concerned stopping the 2025 title was KT, which pressed the last to a 5th video game. 2 of T1’s 3 straight wins went the range, which informs you the space at the top was never ever as broad as the prize count recommends.

Whatever takes place in Brooklyn, the 2026 champ will be a. Gen.G acquired the Samsung Galaxy lineup area after the 2017 title however has actually never ever won Worlds as Gen.G. Bilibili Gaming would provide the LPL its 4th title and its very first given that Edward Gaming in 2021.
Our lean bewares. Gen.G shows up with the much deeper LCK pedigree, however Bilibili Gaming simply beat the group that had actually won 3 straight Worlds, and couple of outcomes at this Worlds bring more weight than that a person.
