Notable participants include LCK teams like T1, which is pursuing a fourth consecutive title, and LPL representatives such as BLG and IG, the latter of which has recalled veterans TheShy and Rookie. The Pacific region is represented by TSW and CFO, who qualified directly for the Swiss Stage, while MVK must navigate the Play-In.
