The top level of North American League of Legends is back for 2019 and this year it’s just called the LCS. While the name might be changed — just a little — the teams are the same as the league enters its second year of franchising.
Just like every year, the teams competing this Spring Split have spent the last several months adjusting their rosters and trying to give themselves the best possible shot at winning the league. This year has seen the addition of several former world champions to the LCS as Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in will be joining Team Liquid, Bae “Bang” Jun-sik is moving to 100 Thieves, and Lee “Crown” Min-ho is taking over the mid lane for OpTic Gaming.
This year’s North American competition will follow the same rules as previous years in the LCS. Teams will have the chance to play each other twice over the course of the nine week regular season. After that, the top six teams will advance to the playoffs where they will compete in best of five series for worlds qualification points, as well as the hope of becoming the LCS Spring Split champions.
For a full look at all the information on the LCS, you can check out Riot’s newly redesigned esports site. This new site will also be the only place to watch for players who want to earn watch rewards in-game.
