The League Championship Series 2024 Summer Split has kicked off with many new exciting stages, as well as some unfortunate news regarding the future of the region. Recently, it was announced that the LCS will be decreasing the number of competing teams from eight to six, so we will be seeing a lot less action come 2025.
However, the region has also introduced format changes to its Summer Split Championship so fans will have a lot more time watching their favorite teams perform and adapt to the meta and strategies as the Regular Season will consist of best-of-three (Bo3) matches for a more intense and enjoyable experience for both the fans and players.
