There’s no longer a clear leader in the LFL. The days of Solary and Joblife sitting comfortably at the top of the standings are gone. Both teams took another hit this week, while Ici Japon Corp, Vitality.Bee, and BK ROG continue to surge. But while the race at the top tightens, the real spotlight this week is on the bottom of the table, where GameWard and BDS Academy are dangerously clinging to the final two spots, synonymous with a direct ticket to the Last Chance Qualifier, skipping the Swiss Stage of playoffs entirely.

While there is no King in the league at the moment, there are for sure a few teams at the top of the current power rankings, starting with Vitality.Bee who keeps proving they’re a different beast now. Their clean win over Solary wasn’t just about flashy plays — it was strategic domination, especially in the botlane where the Senna/Nilah duo dismantled their opponents. That win sends a clear message: VITB aren’t just contenders, they’re on a mission. For Solary, it’s a reality check. Their dream run is not over. After weeks of climbing, they’ve finally fallen off the podium — and with the competition this tight, getting back won’t be easy.

Ici Japon Corp is officially on fire. That’s five wins in a row now. It has become the team nobody wants to face, dismantling BDSA with confidence and clarity. Now, back to being a big threat after a tough first week in the LFL Days, IJC is peaking at just the right time. BK ROG, too, is rising steadily. Their aggressive playstyle and smart drafts are finally clicking.

Do or die

But the real focus should be on the bottom of the standings. BDSA, defeated by IJC today, and GameWard, who fell to a resurgent Gentle Mates squad now safely out of danger with their third win, find themselves at the very bottom of the regular season table. Both teams now face a clear ultimatum: they must win their final two matches if they want any hope of avoiding a ninth or tenth place finish. The biggest winners of the day, though, were the Galions. With a strong performance, they handed Karmine Corp Blue — the Flash-In champions from earlier this year — their fourth loss. KCB continues to struggle with consistency, and their early-season form feels like a distant memory.

GameWard and BDSA have no choice now: it’s win or go home. One more loss, and the bottom two will be locked in. For the rest, the focus shifts to the Swiss Stage — but for these two, the playoffs have already begun. It’s a fight for survival, and it begins this Thursday as GameWard takes on the Galions at 6 PM, followed by BDSA facing Solary around 10 PM.
