In 2025, the competition will also heat up with the launch of the promotion/relegation system, in which teams across the Asia -Pacific ecosystem will have the opportunity to rise to the top and join the strongest teams in the LCP.
Formula 1
The 2025 season will be divided into 3 competitions – start the season, between the season and end with the final season. Each competition will select the best team from each corresponding regional tournament to attend international tournaments, while the Final Championship team will become the first LCP champion.
Start the season
The season begins with the LCP season starting phase, where 8 teams will play in the circle format of 1 BO3 in the main season. After that, the top 6 teams will enter the selection round, where they will overcome a series of Bo3 and Bo5 matches to become the first LCP representative to win the right to attend the new international event.
Prohibition of Fearless Draft will be applied during the season's boot period. With the launch of this banned form, teams cannot choose the generals chosen in previous games in each series, thereby bringing more diverse squads.
Mid -season
After the new international event, the teams will return to the regional tournament when the LCP entered the middle of the season. In particular, the teams will compete to become one of the two representatives to attend the MSI 2025 from their regional tournaments.
During the main season of the mid -season competition, the teams will confront the circle of 2 rounds to determine the top 6 teams into the selection round. Here, the teams will compete in the BO3 format for the first and second round, then play in the Bo5 format in the final round, where the top two teams will win the MSI 2025.
Final season
After MSI 2025, the tournament will continue with the final stage of the season, where the teams will be ranked on their achievements in the mid -season period. The final championship team will become the first LCP championship. In addition, the teams are also fighting to become the representative of LCP at the most important tournament with 3* attendance of Worlds 2025 waiting.
More detailed information about the formula of the final season will be announced near the start of the competition.
* The MSI 2025 championship team and the second most outstanding achievement in the tournament will win one more attendance of Worlds 2025 for their regional tournaments, bringing the total number of teams to the Worlds to 17 teams.
Prize and relegation tournament (P&R LCP)
The tournament will strengthen the goal of improving competitiveness as well as bringing the diverse representative faces of Riot Games:
Competitive achievements will be a top priority in the philosophy of Riot Games for the guest teams; Lowering guest teams may have to protect their positions at the LCP through the promotion and relegation tournament.
Teams with the highest ranking from domestic tournaments in the Asia -Pacific ecosystem will be invited to participate in the P&R LCP tournament.
The future plan of Riot Games is to expand the invitation to the teams outside the existing national tournaments, thereby providing more widely LCP access through the special Wildcard. So far, areas participating in special Wildcard competition include Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia, and this opportunity also opens for other areas.
After all, the promotion/relegation mechanism is designed to reward teams capable of competition as well as promote diversity in the Asia -Pacific ecosystem. Teams with good achievements and high rankings in their domestic tournament will significantly improve the opportunity to win the P&R tournament, while the guest teams at LCP also have more motivation to maintain competitive competence to maintain their position in the tournament. The formula of the P&R tournament will be shared in 2025.
The format of the 2nd domestic league in the Asia -Pacific ecosystem, including PCS, VCS and LJL, will be revealed by the partner of Riot Games in the revealed areas. Riot Games is also actively exploring solutions for the new OCE tournament system that will have a roadmap to participate in LCP by 2025.
In addition, the current VCSLMHT fanpage will be officially renamed to LOL ESPORTS VN (https://www.facebook.com/lolesportsvn) To help the community can fully monitor information about the LCP tournament as well as the upcoming Leagues Esports League. At the same time, the audience of the VCS tournament is about to welcome a new VCS fanpage in the near future.
