LCK Summer Week 6 – Is FOX a Rising Playoff Contender?
Week 5 witnessed unexpected outcomes as DK halted Gen.G’s winning streak and T1 suffered defeats at the hands of HLE and BNK FearX, plummeting to fifth place with a 5-5 record, alongside KT Rolster and Kwangdong Freecs.
While these three teams remain favorites for the playoffs, FOX has bridged the gap with wins against T1 and KT. As the second round robin kicks off, FOX’s chances of challenging top teams have increased.
Impressing against T1 with solid gameplay and strategic rotations, FOX displayed prowess in mid-game teamfights. Despite a less impressive early game, their composure and adaptability bode well for them. The evolving meta on Patch 14.14 will test their strategic acumen.

The new patch introduces meta shake-ups with nerfs to key champions like Tristana and Corki. Teams will need to adapt swiftly to capitalize on new picks and strategies. FOX has a favorable week 6 schedule against Nongshim RedForce and OK BRION, potentially boosting their standing.
Facing comparatively weaker opponents allows FOX space for strategic refinement and leaderboard advancement. Strengthening their early game will be critical for FOX to contend for a playoff berth.
