FSL Summer 2026 Finals: Three Players Remain for the Trophy
The 2026 FSL Summer final stage concludes on September 6 at the DN Colosseum in Seoul, where the last three players will compete for the championship title.
After the early elimination of previous champions, the race for the trophy has narrowed to KT Rolster's uta (Lee Ji-hwan), T1's navy (Kim Yu-min), and BNK FearX's light (Kim Sun-jae). The final day begins with a best-of-five match between Lee Ji-hwan and Kim Yu-min. The winner will face Kim Sun-jae in a best-of-seven grand final.
Lee Ji-hwan reached a career milestone of 100 total points during the league phase, marking the first time this threshold was achieved in the season. However, he lost his previous winner's bracket match to Kim Sun-jae, missing the direct path to the grand final. His upcoming match against Kim Yu-min determines whether he can return to challenge the current leader.
Kim Yu-min survived the loser's bracket, overcoming an internal team conflict to remain the sole representative of T1 in the championship race. His victory in the qualifier will secure his place in the final and maintain his team's presence in the top tier of the competition.
Kim Sun-jae has been the standout performer of the summer season. After failing to reach the top 16 in the Spring season, he defeated several strong opponents, including ryuk, shipe, JM, hoseok, and Lee Ji-hwan, to secure a direct spot in the grand final. He now awaits the winner of the qualifier to determine the new FSL Summer champion.
