The match between T1 and Gen.G on July 31 is particularly noteworthy as it will be part of the “House of Gen.G” event, hosted at the KINTEX exhibition center in Goyang, rather than the usual LoL Park venue. The week concludes with KT Rolster facing Hanwha Life Esports, a match that could significantly impact the standings at the top of the leaderboard.
After Round 3-4, the top four teams from the Legend Group will secure direct entry into the playoffs, while the fifth-placed team and the top three from the Rise Group will enter the play-in round. The two lowest-ranked teams from the Rise Group will be eliminated from the competition.
