As the LEC gears up for the Summer Split, excitement is brewing among League of Legends fans across EMEA. The stage is set for a thrilling season as teams prepare to battle it out for a chance to secure a spot at Worlds 2025. With the Summer Finals scheduled to take place in Madrid from September 26-28, the stakes are higher than ever.
Following an intense Spring Split, which saw Movistar KOI and G2 Esports clinch spots at the Mid-Season Invitational in Vancouver, the focus now shifts to the upcoming challenges of the Summer Split. The addition of NAVI to the league adds a new dynamic to the competition, promising fierce battles and unexpected outcomes.
One of the most significant changes in the format for the Summer Split is the elimination of best-of-one matches. Instead, teams will be divided into two groups, setting the stage for intense best-of-three showdowns. The top eight teams will advance to the Playoffs, with the top two from each group securing automatic qualification.
For the remaining teams, a cross-play best-of-five will determine the final two Playoff contenders, ensuring that only the best of the best move forward in the competition. The Playoffs will feature a double-elimination bracket, adding an extra layer of excitement and pressure as teams vie for the coveted title of EMEA champions.
With the Summer Split Playoffs serving as the ultimate decider for this year’s LEC representatives at Worlds, the competition is expected to be fierce. The journey to Worlds is fraught with challenges, and with no Season Finals this year, all eyes are on the Summer Split to determine the region’s top contenders.
Mark your calendars for August 2nd, as the Summer Split kicks off with a bang, leading up to the climactic LEC Summer Finals in Madrid. Fans can secure their tickets for the regular season matches in Berlin, with additional tickets becoming available weekly. Those eager to witness history in the making can grab their seats for the Madrid finals before they sell out.
As the race to Worlds heats up, the battle for supremacy in the LEC intensifies. With the elimination of Championship Points, teams are starting afresh, with only the top three performers from the Summer Split earning a ticket to Worlds. The emergence of a formidable “big four” comprising G2 Esports, Karmine Corp, Movistar KOI, and Fnatic sets the stage for a thrilling showdown.
With roster changes and the entry of NAVI adding further intrigue to the mix, the Summer Split promises to be a rollercoaster of emotions and nail-biting matches. With Worlds qualification and seeding on the line, the upcoming season is poised to be one of the most memorable in LEC history.
