Worlds 2026 is over halfway finished at this point, and as we draw closer to the semifinals of the biggest League of Legends event of the year, all eyes are on the last few pivotal quarterfinals matches. We have already had an LPL clash and a battle of the West versus the best, but arguably the most important match of the entire stage comes from DK vs BLG.

One is an absolute powerhouse that has had a couple of stumbles in the past few months, and the other a dark horse that has shown they can topple giants, and whoever manages to win the matchup may very well decide the eventual winner of the entire tournament.

League of Legends is finally adding voice chat, but doing so in 2026 means confronting problems that go far beyond simple communication.

The Worlds Swiss stage has ended, and with a couple of quarters already completed, we turn our sights to perhaps the biggest match of all between two very different teams. Throughout the LCK season and their appearance at EWC, DK showed a lot of promise, particularly in the Summer split, where they beat GenG in two best-of-threes and were competitive enough throughout the playoffs to scrapeinto the World's main event.

From there, their path out of Swiss was pretty quick, though not without some resistance. Their matches against G2 and the reigning champions T1 ended in a single teamfight, despite being in losing positions in both games, and their series against MKoi was rocky but still convincing enough to allow them to jump straight into the playoffs without a single loss to their name.
