The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) will be back on 4 April with Split 2. After a highly competitive first split, we saw plenty of surprises, breakout performances, and unpredictable results. New teams challenged the old regime, fan favourites were pushed to their limits, and a new king ultimately rose at the top.

In partnership with VNGGames, Carry International, PlayBrain, Arcanist, and Invate, the next chapter of the LCP begins as teams return to regional action. With the second split kicking off soon, we’ve compiled everything you need to know below.

NEW START TIME FOR SPLIT 2

During Split 1, we experimented with an earlier start time and saw some positive outcomes, including growth in English viewership. However, this also meant that some fans could not tune in because of their commitments during the day.

Based on what we learned and the feedback we received, we have decided to shift the start times slightly later. In Split 2, matches will now kick off at 4pm GMT+7 // 5pm GMT+8 // 6pm GMT+9 // 8pm GMT+11 each matchday. We hope this updated timing allows more fans across the region to catch the action live.

SCHEDULE

LCP Split 2 will begin on 4 April and will run till 7 June. Here is the fixtures for the Regular Season:

The up-to-date schedule for LCP can be found at lolesports.com and will be routinely updated throughout the event.

COACH COMMS RETURNS

Coach Comms will return in Split 2 for both Regular Season and the Knockout Stage! The real-time strategic calls gave us some nail biting moments during the first split. With its return, fans can look forward to even more tactical adjustments in response to in-game situations, keeping you at the edge of your seat for every match.

FORMAT

In the Regular Season, teams will go through a Single Round-Robin BO3 with the top 6 teams advancing to the Knockout Stage.

The 6 remaining teams will then compete in hybrid elimination BO5 where the top team will secure their spot for MSI.

Remember that Championship Points will continue to be earned, and the team with the most Championship Points at the end of the split will qualify for MSI alongside the Split 2 winners.

With up to 55 Championship Points to play for, there is a lot at stake in LCP Split 2. Here is how the teams rank heading into the next split:

Here’s a refresher on how points will be calculated in Split 2:

Regular Season -
- Game points will be converted to Championship Points at the end of the Regular Season
  - Game win: +1 game point; Game loss: -1 game point
- Game points at the end of the Regular Season of Split 2 will be multiplied by 2.
- Teams also get Standing Points - finishing higher in the Regular Season standings gives you extra points with #1 getting 7 points, #2 getting 6 points and so on.
- Any team with negative Championship Points will have their total reset to 0 at the end of the Regular Season.
  - Only Championship Points gained from Game Points will be reset to 0. This will not affect points gained from Standing Points.
Split 2 Knockout Stage - Top 4 teams will get extra points:
- #1: 20 pts
- #2: 15 pts
- #3: 10 pts
- #4: 5 pts
