Saigon Warriors still have not dropped a game at the 
LCP 2027 Promotion. After sweeping 
Nothin'Here 3-0 in the Free for All semifinal, the Vietnamese side face 
DetonatioN FocusMe on Friday for the last LCP 2027 spot.
Two paths into the LCP, only one still open
The LCP 2027 Promotion brings together LCP 2026 guest teams and representatives of the Pacific regional leagues in Ho Chi Minh City. Every series is a Bo5 played under Fearless Draft, which means no champion can be picked twice in the same series.
The first path closed on Wednesday, when 
Ground Zero Gaming kept their LCP status after a comeback against Frank Esports. The second, the Free for All, is a single elimination bracket that ends on Friday.
The stakes have shifted with the 2027 overhaul: every split will now start in the domestic leagues (PCS, VCS, LJL) before an LCP bracket stage. Winning a spot here mainly secures LCP team status for 2027, along with the regional revenue share that comes with it.
Saigon Warriors, six games without a loss
Saigon Warriors reached the Promotion as runners-up of the VCS Finals, inheriting the slot because the champions, MVK Academy, are an LCP academy team. Since then the run has been flawless: 3-0 against 
Team Gromp in Tuesday's quarterfinal, then the same score against Nothin'Here on Thursday.
Nothin'Here had looked sharp too, knocking out 
FENNEL without conceding a game. Against the Vietnamese side, however, the Wild Card Playoffs winners never managed to take a single game.
Support Elio was named player of the series, alongside Nern in the top lane, j1n5 in the jungle, Aisyl in the mid lane and Aomine on marksman.
DetonatioN FocusMe have been waiting since day one
DetonatioN FocusMe have not played yet. As the LCP 2026 guest team placed in the Free for All, the Japanese side went straight to the final and have had three days to study their opponents.
The Japanese roster leans on Fisher in the mid lane, Citrus in the jungle and the Kakkun and Woody duo in the bot lane. The big question is whether the rest will help, or whether Saigon Warriors' momentum after two series in three days will make the difference in a Fearless format that drains champion pools fast.
The final on Friday
The Bo5 closes out the Promotion. Follow it live on its ReadyCheck page, with the score updated game by game.
