EU and NA LCS Schedules Now Live Along with Format Changes

by on January 8, 2015
 

Riot has today released the schedules for the EU and NA branches of the LCS for the upcoming season.

Week one, day one for Europe kicks off on Thursday January 22nd when Alliance will take on Fnatic in the first game of the new season. The first day will also see the mouthwatering clash between SK Gaming and Roccat, two teams who have the potential to do very well this year.

The North American LCS season starts a few days later on Saturday January 24th, with Team SoloMid taking on Cloud 9 in the first match. You can see the schedules on the LoLeSports.com schedule page.

The new LCS season is also bringing in some slight format changes. Again LoLeSports.com have a much more detailed run down but the basic points are:

  • The 10th place LCS will be relegated to the challenger series and the top team in the challenger series will be promoted.
  • Teams who place in 8th and 9th in LCS will play against the teams who places 2nd and 3rd in the challenger series to determine who is in the LCS and who is in the challenger series for the next season.
  • LCS teams will gain points based on their performance in the playoffs. These points will be used to determine seeding for Worlds and Regional Qualifiers.
  • The winner of the Summer Split and the team with the most points will both qualify for Worlds.

eSports! I joined God is a Geek all the way back in September 2013 and since then have spent most of my time on Dota 2, and occasionally posting the odd review, news article or totally wrong predictions for The International. When I am not playing Dota I can probably be seen watching some kind of strange eSport or begging for more Twitter followers (@MikeStubbsy if you are interested). Aside from GiaG I am a computing student, football coach and major Apple fanboy.
