We are in the home stretch now with the first team qualified and to no ones surprise it is Gen.G Esports. For the other 9 teams, they continue their fight for the remaining five spots. Let’s dive into the matches, schedules, and current standings that define this pivotal week.

It is time for Week 6 of LCK Summer 2024. Last week saw Gen.G keep their undefeated streak up and BRION pick up their first win of the season. What will this week hold? We will have to wait and find out.

Current Standings

	1st	Gen.G Esports	10-0	20-1
	2nd	Hanwha Life Esports	8-2	17-6
