The North American League of Legends Championship Series (LCS), one of Riot Games’ top-tier franchise leagues in LoL esports, has made some major adjustments to the season’s format.
The league, commencing January 15th, has introduced ‘LCS Lock In’ for the upcoming season — an inaugural three-week tournament that offers $150,000 (~£111,693) to the winning team, plus $50,000 (~£37,184) for the team to donate to a charity of its choice. The performance’s in this competition will contribute to regular-season or playoff seeding.
Like before, the season will be split into two parts: Spring and Summer.
