This result is particularly striking given CTBC’s dominance in the previous LCP season, where they won every split and were widely considered the team to beat in 2026. However, their efforts this time were not enough to overcome Ground Zero’s organized and strategic gameplay.
In another surprising development, GAM, another pre-tournament favorite, also exited the playoffs early after losing to Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks gaming . Both of these results highlight the unpredictable nature of LCP 2026 Split 1, proving that even the league’s top teams can face early elimination.
With the playoffs underway, fans can expect more thrilling matches and potential upsets as the competition for the title intensifies.
The LCP 2026 Split 1 is taking place from January 16 to March 1. Teams are competing for one slot in the First Stand 2026.
