Recent form

SK Gaming: L L L L W - 1 win from their last 5 matches.

SK Gaming arrive on a 4-match losing streak entering Week 2. Wunder, Skeanz, LIDER, Jopa, and Mikyx have struggled to find consistency across the opening weeks of the 2026 season. Their 33.1 minute average game length reflects a team that allows games to go long - a pattern that benefits opponents with stronger late-game scaling.

Shifters: W W L L W - 3 wins from their last 5 matches.

Shifters arrive with stronger recent form and a direct head-to-head win over SK Gaming in 2026. Rooster, Boukada, nuc, Paduck, and Trymbi enter Week 2 with momentum from their opening split results. Paduck dealt 55,719 damage in their most recent head-to-head win over SK - the highest ADC damage output of any player in that meeting.

Head-to-head

Shifters lead SK Gaming 1-0 in 2026 meetings. Their most recent encounter was during the LEC Versus tournament - Shifters won 1-0. The 1-0 head-to-head lead gives Shifters both the psychological edge and the data advantage entering this Bo3 series.

AI prediction

EsportScanner free AI esports predictions give Shifters a 58% win probability. The projection is based on their 1-0 head-to-head lead over SK Gaming in 2026, stronger recent form - 3 wins from 5 compared to SK's 1 win from 5 - and Paduck's 55,719 damage output in their most recent meeting. SK's 4-match losing streak entering Week 2 is the primary factor driving the probability gap.

What to watch

Paduck vs SK's bot lane - Paduck's 55,719 damage output in his most recent meeting against SK Gaming is the highest individual ADC damage of any player in this head-to-head. If he reaches his damage ceiling in Game 1, Shifters have the individual foundation to take the series lead before SK can establish their 33.1 minute late-game structure.

Can SK stop the losing streak? - SK Gaming have lost 4 consecutive matches entering Week 2. In a 9-match single round-robin, losing a 5th consecutive match would put them in serious danger of missing a top-6 playoff finish before the split has found its rhythm. Mikyx's veteran support experience and LIDER's mid lane individual quality are SK's most reliable assets for stopping the streak.
