Worlds 2026 Swiss Stage 2R Draw: DK-T1 and LCK Derbies Confirmed
The 2R draw for the Swiss Stage of the League of Legends World Championship 2026 has set up two major LCK matchups. Following the first round, DK-T1 and Hanwha Life Esports will face Gen.G Esports in the upcoming matches.
The draw, held at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center in Allen, Texas, also confirmed several other regional rivalries. In the 1-0 group, TES is scheduled to play against Anyone's Legend (AL). In the 0-1 group, CTBC Flying Oyster, following their victory over Team Liquid, will take on Movistar Koi, while Lion will face Karmine Corp.
All four LPL teams have moved into the 0-1 group. This includes a matchup between Invictus Gaming (IG) and Team Secret Whale. Additionally, G2 Esports is set to face the CBLoL seed LOUD, who previously lost to T1.

The tournament format dictates that teams in the 1-0 group move to the 2-0 group to compete in a Bo5 series. Winners from the 1-1 group advance to the 2-1 group for Bo1 matches. Teams with a 0-2 record will compete in Bo5 matches to avoid elimination.
