SK Telecom T1 has qualified for the 2019 League of Legends World Championship.

On the 25th (KST), SK Telecom T1 defeated DAMWON Gaming to reach the 2019 LCK Summer Split Finals. They will be playing against regular season champions, Griffin, whom they defeated in the previous spring split finals. As of the win, SKT accumulated enough championship points for Worlds; they will be heading to the world championship regardless of the results in the finals.
