The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) Mid Season is set to kick off on April 19, 2025, marking the second split of the season.
This exciting tournament will run until June 8, 2025, featuring eight teams competing for a $80,000 prize pool and crucial qualification spots at the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) in Vancouver, Canada, and the Esports World Cup League of Legends tournament in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Tournament Format
The LCP Mid Season will follow a traditional format, divided into a regular season and playoffs.
During the regular season, teams will participate in a single round-robin of best-of-three matches using the Fearless Draft system.
Each series will include a 1v1 competition to determine side selection, adding an extra layer of strategy to the matches.
Once the round-robin concludes, the top six teams will advance to the playoffs, which will feature a double-elimination bracket.
The first two rounds of the playoffs will be best-of-three matches, while subsequent series will be best-of-five. The two finalists will face off on June 8, 2025, to determine the Mid Season champions.
