The international League of Legends event for the 2026 season is winding down, with the early rounds completed and only a few matches remaining before the ultimate playoff bracket is defined.

The tournament is nearing its conclusion as only five games are left, yet the fate of the complete Knockout Stage still hangs in balance.
