2026 LCK Rounds 3-4 are slated to start soon, and this preview highlights the schedule, our expert predictions, and everything else you need to know before watching.

The LCK has been upside down recently. Teams that were considered absolute powerhouses are seemingly falling off, while previous underdogs have been causing upset after upset. 2026 LCK Rounds 3-4 are starting soon, and the big question here is which team will reign supreme.

From the consistent Hanwha Life Esports to the surprisingly strong Dplus Kia, this preview of LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4 highlights everything to know about it.

Every team at LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4

LCK Rounds 3-4 have the same teams as the previous splits from this year. The teams are divided into two groups based on their performances in the earlier splits, ensuring they face teams that are on equal footing with them.

The teams that are in the legend group include:

On the other hand, the teams that are in the rise group include:

This doesn’t mean that every team from both groups will qualify for the playoffs. The top four from the legend group teams will qualify for the playoffs, while the bottom two will qualify for the play-in. Similarly, the top three teams from the rise group will get a ticket to the play-in, while the bottom two will be eliminated.

The playoffs are where teams will compete to qualify for this year’s World Championship. This means that every match in this split will determine whether the participating teams take a step toward playing on the biggest LoL stage, or a step away.

LCK 2026 Rounds 3-4 format and schedule

This split starts on July 29 and is slated to go on until August 19. This means that fans will have roughly four weeks of high-quality matches to look forward to, with five days each week dedicated solely to matches.

Hanwha Life Esports is the obvious favorite to end this split strong and proceed to the playoffs. The team has been looking fairly consistent recently, and the addition of Gumayusi as the team’s ADC has really helped them shine further.

Gen.G was previously in a very good state, but the team has unfortunately fallen off hard. In particular, Chovy and Ruler really need to get their bearings together if they want to dominate this split like they did last year. Speaking of domination, the reigning world champions have been slacking off. T1’s recent performance has left much to be desired, especially with Doran seemingly not being in the right headspace.

Those wanting to side with teams who are underdogs according to LoL betting sites may want to take a close look at FEARX. The team has a strong chance of dominating the rise group alongside BRION, potentially setting up qualification for the play-in stage.
