The 2024 LCK Summer Regular Season is about to officially come to an end this week. In the regular season that ended on Saturday afternoon, T1 finally regained its long-lost form, sweeping its opponent FOX 2-0 and ending its summer regular season journey with a record of 11-7.

In this BO3, T1's top and jungle showed their swords in the first game, and they had a very good linkage effect in the early stage. Although the Tsar selected by Faker did not have any eye-catching performance, his data of 0-0-7 can be regarded as another kind of support. In the second game, it became a personal show of Keria's Bard, and he finally got a perfect support data of 0-0-22. This also reminded me of the Bard in last year's World Championship. He was really top-notch and worthy of being the man with the championship skin.

With the end of the game, the final ranking of the top 6 of the LCK Summer Regular Season is also locked, with GEN in first place, HLE in second place, DK in third place, T1 in fourth place, and KT and FOX in fifth and sixth place respectively.

According to the relevant competition rules of the LCK playoffs, the third-place DK will have the right to choose the fifth-place (KT) or the sixth-place (FOX) as the first-round opponent. The remaining team will automatically go to the other side to play against T1. In the second round, GEN will also have the right to choose their opponents. They will choose one of the two winning teams in the first round as their opponent. The remaining team will automatically become the opponent of the second-place HLE.

Because the regular season has not yet ended, the current opponent selection is still unknown, but based on previous matchups and team strength, DK will most likely choose FOX as their opponent and let T1 play KT, because the two teams are currently evenly matched opponents, and KT is a very nervous team. Instead of choosing such an unstable team, it is better to choose FOX, a stable rookie.

The LCK playoffs will adopt a double-elimination system starting from the second round, which means that the two teams that lose in the first round will not advance to the playoffs, but because they have qualified for the bubble match, they will compete for the third and fourth seeds there.

The above is the basic situation of the current LCK summer regular season. The playoffs will start on the 23rd. DK will play first and T1 will play later. If the regular season is a small fight, then the playoffs are related to the world championship quota, which will be a real fight.
