LCP 2025 TEAM LINEUP
The LCP will be adopting a hybrid partnership and promotion / relegation league model, featuring both Partner and Guest teams. Our selection was guided by principles that best represent the values of the sport in our region, while also conducting extensive due diligence on all applying teams. These are the key principles that we focused on when curating the lineup for 2025:
Dominance was a crucial factor as we looked for teams with a proven track record of competitive performance, displaying their prowess by consistently rising to the top.
We wanted to honor the Legacy of teams that have been sturdy pillars of the Asia-Pacific League Esports scene, contributing immensely to the growth of our sport over the years.
Teams that demonstrated Tenacity, overcoming obstacles and adversity to emerge stronger each time, acting as a source of inspiration for rivals and fans alike.
Glory is not just about past achievements, it’s also about the fandom, the passion, and the iconic moments that shaped our selection.
Finally, we looked to the future with Evolution, selecting teams that are ready to push boundaries, innovate, and with bold visions to take our sport to new heights.
We wanted to ensure that our selection represents a balance of these principles and teams embody the essence of what makes Asia-Pacific League Esports unique! With that, we’re proud to reveal the team lineup for the first ever season of the LCP as we prepare for an electrifying season in 2025:
