Right then, the venues and dates for the 2026 LCK finals and the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) qualification matches have finally been unveiled. Riot Games, the organiser behind the LCK—the premier League of Legends e-sports circuit in South Korea—has officially dropped the details for these marquee events.

Following the shift to a single-season format introduced in 2025, the grand finale to crown the LCK champion will take place at the KSPO Dome within Olympic Park. Mark your calendars for September 12 (Saturday) and September 13 (Sunday). The final qualification match takes place on the 12th, leading up to the main event on the 13th.

As for the 'Road to MSI', where we'll determine which teams earn their ticket to the international stage, the tournament is set to run from June 12 (Friday) to June 14 (Sunday) at the Wonju Gymnasium, located in Wonju, Gangwon State.

The LCK has been taking their offline roadshows outside the capital region at least once a year since 2022. It has been four years since they last touched down in Gangwon State, following the 2022 Summer finals in Gangneung. After successful stops in Daejeon (2023), Gyeongju (2024), and Busan (2025), the organisers intend to keep collaborating with local governments to bring LoL e-sports to every corner of the country.

Lee Jung-hoon, LCK Secretary General, noted that the decision to bring the MSI qualifiers to Wonju came down to balancing fan accessibility and infrastructure, praising the city for its full-throated support. 'The KSPO Dome, where the finals are staged, offers fantastic accessibility and has already proven its mettle by hosting a successful 2024 final,' he added, urging fans to keep their expectations high.
