The 2018 NA LCS Spring Split is about to begin and for the first time in the competition’s history, teams will be competing without the threat of relegation looming over their heads.
Apart from the addition of franchising giving teams a little more stability, the NA LCS will look quite a bit different in other ways too. Most noticeable for fans will be the removal of best of threes which have been the standard format in the league’s week to week play for the last several years.
Replacing best of threes will be nine weeks of best of one matches. Each team will go head to head twice during the regular season in these single game matches with the top six advancing to the NA LCS Playoffs.
Here are all the match ups you can look forward to once the 2018 NA LCS Spring Split kicks off officially on Jan. 20.
