1. T1
T1 has been by far one of the best staff within the LCK for this 12 months failing to lose a single collection in 2022 and breaking each staff document set up to now. Whereas they did have a considerably lackluster weak one they got here out in week two with full management dominating each Sandbox and Damwon in 2-0 vogue and profitable their twenty fourth consecutive collection breaking the document held by 2015 SKT. Whereas Gen.G has seemed good till T1 loses I can’t in good acutely aware put them wherever under first.
2. Gen.G
If it was not for the domination that has been T1 within the LCK this 12 months Gen.G could be the clea favourite. They’ve in my view one of the best midlaner on the earth in Chovy who arduous carries video games like no different. That is together with a top-five bot lane with Lehends and Ruler. Gen.G additionally had a robust week ending undefeated however did lose a sport to Damwon, not like T1. This mixed with weaker gamers in three out of 5 positions Gen.G just isn’t fairly at T1’s degree but however can completely obtain that and win the break up.
3. DRX
The final undefeated staff within the LCK is DRX who’ve seemed very robust within the majority of their video games. The most important situation is their energy of schedule which has pitted them towards three groups which might be within the backside half of the standings with NongShim being the one considerably robust staff they’ve confronted. Deft began out gradual however confirmed up large within the second collection this week vs KDF. DRX doesn’t have the pure star energy in its total roster that the opposite top-tier lineups have but when they will allow Deft and Zeka they’ve the potential to upset the highest two and make a run at worlds.
4. Damwon Kia
Damwon misplaced each its collection this week placing them at 2-2 however got the heavy job of battling the 2 greatest groups within the LCK in T1 and Gen.G. The most important situation is that even with an improved prime lane in Nuguri they had been outclassed by each T1 and Gen.G. Damwon has the big-name stars however to this point have but to actually exhibit their unbelievable particular person expertise. I do imagine this staff could be higher than DRX however till DRX start to lose they’ll stay forward of Damwon.
5.NongShim REDFORCE
NS had quite a lot of hype round them going into the spring break up with gamers like Canna and BDD they had been seen as a darkish horse contender within the LCK. They had been disillusioned massively not even making the playoffs. This break up quite a lot of that potential continues to be there they usually have began to point out off extra of their expertise and staff play. Whereas this week that they had robust showings towards weaker groups the potential continues to be there and if this staff can put it collectively I can see them taking collection from the top-tier groups.
6. Kwangdong Freecs
KDF has gotten off to a really gradual begin this break up dropping three of the primary 4 video games together with matches to groups which might be under them in these rankings. Their expertise is simply too excessive Kiin, Destiny, and particularly Teddy are all unbelievable gamers that may arduous carry video games for his or her staff. Teddy confirmed off this week even in a loss to NS he did his greatest to convey the video games as shut as doable. The most important situation is the sloppy teamwork and underperforming of the position gamers on this staff. Kiin is off to a gradual begin however Eliim and Moham additionally have to step it up for this staff to succeed in its potential and never make this staff seem like outdated JAG and the Teddy 1v9 present.
7.Liiv SANDBOX
Sandbox is an attention-grabbing staff they had been terrible final break up displaying little or no expertise and cohesion all through the break up. This break up to this point they’re taking part in rather a lot higher. Prince has been an enormous improve within the botlane and has helped cause them to half as many collection wins because the final break up. The potential for this staff I nonetheless really feel is rather a lot decrease than the groups above them and they’re gonna need to show themselves extra earlier than I can see them in a playoff spot.
8.kt Rolster
After narrowly lacking the playoffs final 12 months KT has continued to wrestle this break up beginning 1-3. They nonetheless have some gifted gamers however sloppy play and poor decision-making have halted them from actually contending in a lot of the collection to this point. Their victory over HLE confirmed this off as they narrowly received towards one of many worst groups within the LCK even when the collection completed 2-0. Aria has proven higher kind this break up and if they will let him and Rascal management the sport KT may compete.
9. Hanwha Life Esports
HLE has made virtually each collection they’ve been in shut and is in fact performing higher than anticipated. The difficulty is the expectations had been already tremendous low for this squad they usually proceed to be unable to win a collection to this point after coming in final place the earlier break up. They’ve at the least seemed good in some video games that are greater than I can say for the last-place staff.
10. Fredit Brion
After a miracle run into playoffs final break up Fredit has reverted to its worst state. The staff appears misplaced in most video games. Whereas this week that they had an thrilling collection with KT they nonetheless stay winless and have put up little or no battle of their different collection to this point this 12 months. Their gamers to this point have seemed weaker than each different staff they usually actually need somebody to step up in the event that they need to have any success this 12 months
