In April, we welcomed back fans into the LCS Studio and our Houston roadshow for the first time in over two years. The atmosphere was absolutely electric — supporters came from all over to celebrate our sport and deliver the kind of irreplaceable energy we’d missed for far too long. The LCS is at its best when we come together and build something great, so in Summer, let’s keep the momentum going!
Today, we’re thrilled to unveil the schedule and open [ticket sales][1] for the 2022 LCS Summer Split. Defending champion Evil Geniuses will return from Busan to find a hungry LCS filled with teams eager to hoist a trophy and compete at the first World Championship in North America since 2016. During the mid-season break, [Jensen and Zven][2] came back for Cloud9, Maple [joined TSM][3] in the mid lane, and IgNar [reunited][4] with old Misfits/FlyQuest teammate PowerOfEvil to supercharge Immortals' run for the postseason. Join us at the LCS Studio to watch all the action unfold up close!

FORMAT
------
The LCS Summer Split consists of an eight-week double round robin, with five games played on Saturday and Sunday. Weeks 1 and 8 have been designated as Super Weeks, with five additional games played on Friday. Broadcast days will start at 12pm Sunday, 1pm on Saturday, and, during Super Weeks, 2pm on Friday, with games starting on the half hour (all times PT).
At the end of Week 8, the top eight teams will advance to the LCS Summer Playoffs. The winner will be crowned LCS Champion and join the 2nd and 3rd place teams as NA representatives at the 2022 World Championship. The playoff format remains the same as last summer — double elimination for the top six seeds (with first-round byes for the top two seeds), single elimination for seeds seven and eight — but the first seed will be allowed to choose which side of the bracket to play through at the conclusion of Week 8.
We’ll reveal more information about Summer Split Finals venue and ticketing information in the coming weeks.
