LCP Split 2 Start Time

Riot Games has shifted the start time of LCP Split 2 three hours later than Split 1 to make matches more accessible for viewers across the region.

LCP Split 2 Schedule

LCP Split 2 will begin on April 4, with the Regular Season running until May 17.

The Knockout Stage will take place from May 23 to June 7.

LCP Split 2 Format

Teams will compete in a single round-robin format in best-of-three (BO3) series, with the top six teams advancing to the Knockout Stage.

The Knockout Stage will feature a hybrid elimination format in best-of-five (BO5) series, with the winner earning the first LCP seed to MSI.

Championship Points will carry over from Split 1, and the team with the highest total at the end of Split 2 will secure the final MSI qualification spot.

LCP Split 2 Championship Points System

Here is how Championship Points are calculated for Split 2:

• During the Regular Season:

  • +1 point for each game win

  • -1 point for each game loss

  • Totals are multiplied by two at the end of the Regular Season
    

• Standing Points:

  • 1st place: 7 points

  • 2nd place: 6 points

  • Points decrease by placement
    

• Teams with negative Championship Points are reset to zero (Standing Points remain unaffected)
  

• Knockout Stage bonus points:

  • 1st place: 20 points

  • Each lower placement receives 5 fewer points

Below are the Championship Points standings after Split 1.
