Team Secret Whales are the LCP 2026 Split 2 champions. On June 7 at the LCP Arena in Taipei, Taiwan, the Pacific squad swept through the Grand Final against Relove Deep Cross Gaming with a 3-1 victory. The result caps a dominant season that saw Secret Whales go undefeated through the regular season with a perfect 7-0 record, making them the undisputed best team in the Pacific league this split.
Undefeated Regular Season Carried Into Playoffs
Secret Whales had been the standout team throughout the entire LCP 2026 Split 2. Their 7-0 regular season record was built on consistent macro execution, disciplined drafting, and strong individual performances across all five roles. Deep Cross Gaming fought back to take one map in the Grand Final but were ultimately unable to match the level of play that Secret Whales produced on the biggest stage of the split.
Deep Cross Gaming Secure MSI 2026 Berth
Despite falling short of the title, Deep Cross Gaming leave Taipei having achieved what matters most at this stage of the season: a place at the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational. The Taiwanese organisation had earlier eliminated GAM Esports to consolidate their position in the LCP Championship Points standings, earning the region's second MSI seat. For Deep Cross Gaming, who compete under the Relove sponsorship branding, reaching MSI marks a major milestone.
Two LCP Teams Heading to Daejeon
The LCP will send two representatives to the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational in Daejeon, South Korea (June 28 – July 12). Secret Whales, who had already locked in MSI qualification through their accumulated Championship Points from Split 1, will be joined by Deep Cross Gaming. Both teams represent different corners of what is now a unified Pacific league — the LCP is the merged competition that brought together the former PCS, LJL, LCO, and VCS regions.
LCP Building Its Identity on the World Stage
The LCP roster — featuring GAM Esports from Vietnam, CTBC Flying Oyster from Taiwan, Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS from Japan, alongside guest teams like Secret Whales and Deep Cross Gaming — has produced an increasingly competitive environment since the league's unification. This Split 2 showed the league can deliver high-level playoff action, and the presence of two Pacific squads at MSI 2026 is a meaningful sign of the region's growing ambition.
