LCK
31 Korean titles have been handed out since 2012, and a single organization holds 10 of them. Behind that record, the gap is closing fast: the reigning champion holds eight, six of them won in the last four years. Here is where every title in Korean League of Legends history has gone, organization by organization. The counts combine the OGN Champions era (2012–2014) and the LCK era (2015–present), include the LCK Cup since its introduction in 2025, and run through the 2026 LCK Cup. Every trophy follows organizational lineage through renames, acquisitions and sister teams: SKT's titles belong to T1, Samsung's to Gen.G, ROX Tigers' to Hanwha Life, Longzhu and Kingzone's to DRX, and KT Arrows' to KT Rolster.
T1 — 10 titles
T1 owns 10 Korean titles, the most in the league's history. The run started in Champions Summer 2013, when a rookie mid laner named Lee "Faker" Sang-hyeok beat KT Bullets in his first season. Faker has featured in every T1 championship since — no other player comes close to his domestic record.
The trophies came in waves. Two in the Champions era under the SK Telecom banner (Summer 2013, Winter 2013-14), then total control of the early LCK: 2015 Spring, 2015 Summer, 2016 Spring, 2017 Spring. The Teddy-Clid rebuild delivered both 2019 splits, Canna's rookie season added 2020 Spring, and the Zeus-Oner-Gumayusi-Keria core capped it with 2022 Spring — the first perfect 18-0 regular season in LCK history.
The paradox is what followed. T1 has not lifted an LCK trophy since April 2022, yet won three consecutive World Championships in that span. No organization has ever dominated internationally while losing its grip on the domestic throne for this long.
Gen.G — 8 titles
Gen.G's count runs through Samsung. The lineage starts with MVP Ozone, champions of Spring 2013 and bought by Samsung a few months later, and continues with sister team Samsung Blue, winners of Spring 2014. Then came an eight-year domestic drought — the organization lifted the 2017 World Championship as Samsung Galaxy without ever winning the league again, and the trophyless run survived the sale to KSV in late 2017 and the rebrand to Gen.G.
The modern era made up for it. Six titles in four years: 2022 Summer, 2023 Spring, 2023 Summer, 2024 Spring — the first four-peat in LCK history — followed by the unified 2025 season championship and the 2026 LCK Cup, won 3-0 over FearX without dropping a series all tournament.
The constant is Jeong "Chovy" Ji-hoon. The mid laner has started in every Gen.G title run and became the first player to win four consecutive LCK championships. The 2025 season added international weight — Gen.G won MSI for the second time consecutively and the Esports World Cup before reclaiming the domestic crown from Hanwha Life.
Hanwha Life Esports — 3 titles
Hanwha Life's count spans two names. The organization's lineage includes ROX Tigers, whose 2016 Summer title broke T1's stranglehold on the early LCK. Under the Hanwha Life banner, the breakthrough came in 2024 Summer — a Finals win over Gen.G that ended the four-peat — followed by the inaugural LCK Cup in February 2025, a 3-2 Finals against Gen.G with Choi "Zeus" Woo-je named MVP in his first split after leaving T1.
Dplus Kia — 3 titles
Three titles in 13 months, then nothing. DAMWON Gaming won 2020 Summer on the way to the organization's World Championship, then took both 2021 splits as DWG KIA with the Canyon-ShowMaker axis at its peak. The club has not reached an LCK final since rebranding to Dplus KIA in 2023.
KT Rolster — 2 titles
Korea's perennial bridesmaid. The first title belongs to KT Arrows, the organization's sister team, in 2014 Summer. The second took four more years: 2018 Summer, when the so-called super team of Smeb, Score, Ucal, Deft and Mata finally delivered. In between sat four lost finals, three of them against SKT. No organization with fewer than three titles has lost more, and the Worlds 2025 final against T1 ended the same way.
DRX — 2 titles
Both titles came under previous names. Longzhu Gaming dethroned SKT in the 2017 Summer final, and the same core defended the trophy as Kingzone DragonX in 2018 Spring. The organization that became DRX has not won the LCK since — its 2022 World Championship remains the only major trophy of the DRX era.
CJ Entus — 2 titles
The first two Korean champions belong to the same lineage. MiG Blaze won the inaugural Champions Spring 2012, and sister team Azubu Frost took Summer 2012. Rebranded CJ Entus in 2013, the organization never won again and left League of Legends after relegation in 2016.
NaJin e-mFire — 1 title
NaJin Sword won Champions Winter 2012-13 behind MakNooN and a rookie jungler named Watch. The organization stayed competitive through 2014, sent multiple teams to Worlds, and disbanded in 2016 without adding a second trophy.
