This is very good news for the LCS, on the eve of the resumption of the regular season, since the event, which until now was organized remotely due to the pandemic, will bring the teams back to face-to-face for this new Split from the LCS.
Since the start of the Covid pandemic, most tournaments and events were all held remotely on League of Legends. We have already been able to attend a few LAN events, due to the health situation in certain countries and France, with the LFL, has this chance. Now, according to Chris Greeley, head of esports for Riot Games in North America and acting LCS commissioner, has announced that the competition would resume its course in the studio for the first week of this Spring Split.
This face-to-face return of the League of Legends Championship Series will, however, be accompanied by a format change. Greeley says Riot does everything to be as close as possible to the expectations of LCS players and teams. Given the Covid situation, if a team cannot play face-to-face, it will be offered to the other the choice to play face-to-face or not.
The LEC, which has now lasted four weeks however, is he still at a distance. At the start of the Split, the LEC announced that in a few weeks, they will review the health situation in an attempt to assess whether or not, they can bring everyone back to the studio. With this return to the studio of the LCS, it is therefore the perfect opportunity to put the two competitions on an equal footing and bring the LEC face-to-face.
It is therefore this February 5 that starts this LCS Spring Split 2022in which we will have the chance to be able to attend local network matches, with the opponents face to face on the stage. This time, itIt will be TSM and the Evil Geniuses who will kick off the competition.
