2024League of LegendsThe LCK Summer Season playoffs will begin on August 23. As usual, the LCK region usually announces the best lineup and MVP players of the regular season before the playoffs begin. On August 20, the LCK officially released the best lineup and regular season MVP players of the summer season, as well as the specific voting results.

A total of 41 people participated in the voting, including 10 LCK head coaches, 10 LCK representative players, 6 Korean media reporters, 1 event OB, 1 event editor, 1 event producer, 1 event operation, 6 event commentators, 3 event commentators, and 2 event analysts.

Each member who participates in the voting needs to submit a list of players for 5 positions in 3 lineups, and submit a list of the rankings of 3 MVP players. The LCK official calculates the total score based on the number of votes in 3 different rankings, with 5 points for the first ranking, 3 points for the second ranking, and 1 point for the third ranking. The LCK head coach and representative players cannot choose members of their own team. The best coach was given to GEN's KIM, and there was no suspense about this. This award is generally given to the coach who ranks first in the regular season.

The final voting results are as follows.

First lineup: GEN team

This is not surprising. The record of 17 wins and 1 loss is the same as the spring season, and the net score has broken the LCK record. If all the players in the spring season were on the list, the summer season would not be surprising, not to mention that the second and third place records of this season are too far behind the first place team. 38 people chose Kiin as the first lineup top laner. Since the two guests of GEN could not choose themselves, they chose former team member Doran as the first lineup top laner.

Similarly, 38 people chose Canyon's first-team jungler, two GEN guests chose former team member Peanut, and both chose former team member Delight for the support position. Chovy received 39 votes to become the first-team mid laner, and the GEN guests gave 2 votes to Zeka and Bdd.

Second lineup: HLE team

This is the most controversial issue at the moment. Not to mention the LCK league, even in the world, there has never been such a situation. Because HLE is not a discontinuous crushing force. They are ranked second with 14 wins and 4 losses, and DK is ranked third with 13 wins and 5 losses. The record of the two sides is 1-1. Kingen received more votes than Doran in the second and third teams. Both sides finally scored 79 points, but because the two guests of GEN gave Doran the first team, he became the second team top laner.

There is no problem for Peanut, Zeka and Delight to be in the second team, because there is really no better player than them in the same position. But Viper was suppressed by Aiming in the whole game against DK, and the latter broke the LCK record in the number of kills. As a result, Viper was ahead of Aiming in both the first and second team votes.

Third lineup: Kingen/Oner/Bdd/Aiming/Keria

In this prediction, sara only missed three mid laners, because ShowMaker and Bdd played well this season, and ShowMaker got the most POG in the mid lane, DK was the third in the regular season, and KT was only fifth. Many coaches voted for ShowMaker, but the players and others voted for Bdd. Maybe Koreans think KT can beat GEN, so they gave Bdd extra points, especially Lehends voted for him as the first mid laner.

Kingen and Aiming performed very well this season and actually had a chance to make the second team, but the reasons were mentioned above. Zeus played too badly this season, giving away kills more often than highlights, and couldn't make the third team. The other junglers and supports were average, so there was no suspense about T1's jungler and support making the third team. Interestingly, the two votes for Faker's third team came from former coach Zefa and KIM.

Regular season MVP: Chovy

This result is somewhat unexpected, because Sara and the Korean community share the same view that Peyz is the strongest player of GEN this season. In the matches between the top teams, it was basically Peyz who destroyed the bottom lane. In the only series lost to KT, it was Chovy who was suppressed in the middle lane. It can only be said that many of the guests who participated in the voting this time voted based on their impressions of the second round of the regular season, so Bdd's votes were higher than ShowMaker's. Peyz won the regular season POG player, which means he won the MVP of 13 games.

Judging from the voting results, the media basically voted for Peyz, but the team members voted for Chovy. In terms of votes, Chovy was far ahead of Peyz in both the first and second teams, so he won the regular season MVP with 138 points to 83 points, while Canyon, who came in third, only had 65 points. Chovy also became the second person in LCK history to win the Spring and Summer Regular Season MVP for two consecutive years, the previous one being Smeb.

Best Newcomer: Lucid

After Canyon left the team, DK promoted Lucid, a rookie from the second team, as the starting jungler this year. After two seasons, his performance is indeed good, and the team basically did not give him too many resources. Lucid is a promising rookie, especially when Showmaker's competitive state declined, he still brought a good early rhythm to the team. In the vote for the jungler position, his votes ranked fourth.
