Of the four LCK (Korea), all three teams except Hanwha Life e-Sports won and easily reached the second round.
Gen. G, KT Rolster, and T1 beat PSG, Movistar Koy and Flyquest, respectively, in the first round of the '2025 League of Legends World Championship' (Rolls Cup) Swiss Stage (round of 16) held at the Smart e-Sports Center in Beijing on the 15th, and reached the first group of wins in the second round.
On the other hand, Hanwha Life Insurance was held back by AL (Anyone's Legend), a strong team in LPL (China), and fell to one loss in the second round. The Swiss stage, which has been introduced since 2023, will proceed in such a way that if the same teams continue to face each other and win three games, they will advance to the knockout stage (the quarterfinals), and if they lose three games, they will be eliminated.
Accordingly, in the second round draw held after the first round, the three LCK teams avoided civil war, but their joys and sorrows were slightly mixed depending on the opponent. In the second round, Gen.G will try for its second win against the AL that beat Hanwha Life Insurance, KT will meet TSW and T1 will meet CFO, respectively. In particular, CFO has overwhelmed Fnatic, an LEC (European) traditional powerhouse, so it can be said to be a target of alert for T1.
Hanwha Life Insurance, which played in the second round with one loss, met PSG. Meanwhile, Bilibili Gaming, the No. 1 seed and favorite of the LPL, lost to 100 Cves of the LTA (America) in the first round and fell to one loss to face Fnatic. The 100 Cves will meet another LPL powerhouse, TES, in a group 1 win in the second round.
Eight games in the second round, with 16 teams, will be held one after another from 2 p.m. on the 16th, just like the first round.
