The team that participated in the semi-finals the most in the history of the global finals:
T1 7 times
GEN 6 times
FNC 4 times
G2 3 times 6 6
HRT3RNG 3 times
DK 2 times
KOO/ROX Tigers 2 times
iG 2 times
T1 predecessor SKT participated in the five S competitions of S3, S5, S6, S7 and S9, and won the three championships of S3, S5, and S7 runner-up, while S9 is the semi-finals. Last year, T1 reached the S11 semi-finals as the third seed of LCK. This year is the seventh time that T1 has advanced to the S game semi-finals. At the same time, SKT/T1's results in previous S games are guaranteed to be the semi-finals. I wonder if T1 can be the first to secure a seat in the S12 final this year?
In 2013, the SSO team under Samsung Club debuted in S3, but was unexpectedly stopped in the group stage. In 2014, SSW and SSB both advanced to the S4 semi-finals and had a "civil war between the same students". In the end, SSW won the championship in succession of SSB and SHR. In 2015, the "Samsung Ten Sons" all moved to the LPL region. After the reorganization of SSG won the second place in S6 and the S7 championship, and then changed its name to KSV and GEN. It was not until last year that GEN returned to the semi-finals of S11. This year, GEN will play against DRX in the S12 semi-finals.
FNC, as the champion of the S1 World Championship, reached the semi-finals in S3 and S5, and returned to the finals after 7 years in the S8 World Championship, and finally lost to iG to miss the second championship. The rising star G2 has advanced to the semi-finals of the S match for three consecutive years since 2018, and its best result is the second runner-up in S9. DK's predecessor DWG won the S10 championship and recast the glory of LCK. Last year, DK ranked second in S11, and the "White Moonlight" Tigers, the hearts of many fans, won the S5 runner-up, and then regretfully lost to SKT in the S6 semi-finals. The Royal Club has the most promotion to the semi-finals of the S match in the S match, which includes S3 runner-up RYL and S4 runner-up SHR. Today, RNG has entered the S7 semi-finals. LPL's first S Championship winner - iG won the S8 championship and advanced to the semi-finals in S9, and finally lost to FPX 1-3 and missed the final. JDG, the LPL "single seedling" of the semi-finals of S12 this year, will face T1 at 5 am on October 30. Let us look forward to this wonderful showdown together!
