The LCK is the primary tournament for South Korean esports teams to compete in. Ten teams compete to successfully gain direct access to the World's Championships.
Famous teams such as DWG KIA, Gen. G and DRX come from the South Korean region and regularly compete in the Korean based tournament.
In a similar way to LEC, the season is divided into two halves. A spring split and a summer split. The spring split in 2022 saw Damwon Gaming take home the title, as they won their final fight against DRX.

What teams are playing?
Ten teams take part to gain access to the World's championships and add to their teams' prestige. The teams taking part in the summer split include:
- DRX
- DWG KIA
- Fredit BRION
- Gen.G
- Hanwha Life Esports
- KT Rolster
- Kwangdong Freecs
- Liiv SANDBOX
- Nongshim RedForce
- T1
T1 are playing in the last half of the first week. This is due to their extensive schedule since the spring, this break will give them time to relax before their participation in the summer LCK split.
What are the teams' Rosters?
The rosters for T1 have been pretty consistent since the start of the 2022 season. There have been minor changes at the sub-level of the roster with departures from Canna, Teddy and Cuzz. Because of this, T1 have moved Zeus and Asper into the main roster for his year.
All rosters for the LCK can be found here.
When and how can I watch?
The games will begin on June 15 instead of the arranged date of June 8. This is because of the cancelled Asia Games in 2022, which means the tournament starts a week later.
All the games will be streamed on the LCK's official Twitch channel. VOD's can also be rewatched at a later stage on their YouTube. The stream usually starts at 5pm KST or 8pm KST which is 9am BST and 12pm BST.
