This past season, the LCS region for League of Legends tried something new. Indeed, with a new format Riot Games tried to string Spring and Summer into one journey with points holding over. However, the LCS 2022 Format will be returning to old ways and reversing this new change. Read on as we cover the press release from Riot Games!
LCS 2022 Format – What Everybody Wanted
Indeed, below we’ve assembled some of the most essential points from the Riot Games press release:
- Spring and Summer Splits – both will involve eight weeks of double round robin competition. There’ll also be Super Weeks for two weeks. More importantly, “regular season records will no longer carry over from Spring to Summer Splits”.
- Academy Playoffs are no longer existing – all 10 Academy teams will immediately qualify for Proving Grounds to then compete against the top 10 amateur teams. Each split will have two Amateur tournaments each.
- Scouting Ground not coming back in 2022.
There are also other details for the season in the press release we recommend visiting too.
Otherwise, this is massive news for the region. Indeed, this will affect how teams seed for Worlds 2021. Accordingly, teams will need to focus on their performances separately for Spring and Summer.
