2026 LEC Season | Format Explainer
Video Overview & Insights
New year, new tournament, and the formats you love!
Yeah if LR is not in the other 2 splits I doubt anyone will care to watch.
Get ready for more matches, stakes, and even more Roadtrips across EMEA.
Here’s everything you need to know about the 2026 LEC Season - we can’t wait to see you there!
So what if an ERL Team is climbing out as the winner of the wintersplit. Just hypthotetical , they would still get excluded from spring?

So hypothetically if One of the ers wins the lec versus Is qualified to First stand? So if then It wins also the First stand it qualifies to msi, and if It wins the msi, theoretically One of these teams can play worlds, right?

@VertugoooIt should be the freaking standard to get rid of the paycheck stealers. Two bottom teams out, top 2 Masters get in.
@Tnargavlec new era
@commo4342I want the LEC back..!
Can't wait for next year, hope you'll all have a wonderful holiday!
More teams = more games= higher skill. Good changes
@revils9984Not sure how I feel about coming to the U.S. right now, considering the sociopolitical climate -- that's gonna be a huge problem for international fans coming to the States :/
@MamaMatcha93.
@DYKRealFactsSo when LR wins LEC versus they will be at first strike???
@wpmerbring Quickshot back as a Caster
@A.B.43459봄, 여름의 정규 리그에 경기수는 늘어 나나요?
리 빌딩한 팀이 제대로 전력을 가다듬지도 못할 만큼의 경기수로는 의미가 없습니다.
à chier
@mael4817Is it still gonna be fearless draft?
@gsmayy1728The only problem i fear is that were going to have 1 to 2 week breaks during the split again. And it makes no sense. Either schedule better or play on more days.
@jantjedoedelus8079Shame on You Riot Games
@RementiisPathetic move by Riot for the audiences.
@velmille6011It will be fun if the Rats win the whole damn thing :D :D
@BazsigoodI don't comment a lot but here we go... No you guys didn't hear us. We've always been saying the format is awful and our players don't play enough matches. LPL and LCK play 2 times more than LEC, no wonder we get CLAPPED on international competition.
@baldorax"Your feedback means a lot" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
@ScotchouQueremos que el suizo de los mundiales empiecen con BO3, no con BO1
@joseruizruizjoseLet LR buy their slots as everyone else did, this is so unfair. I won’t Watch any LR or 2nd guest team games personnaly, sorry but sh*t call
@anthonypapalia1166Imagine tu penses pouvoir joué la LEC alors que tu prends 3-0 sec par une équipe académie 😂
@crabearmy1749Gosia kocham cię żmigród 2025, mówią że nie mam szans o Twoje serce tak jak oni
@MichalHuhu-v6ySounds Good!
@sirpiplin9948why do you still have BO1 jesus
@CEGCsmiteYou really take people for fools
@damienbernabeu5756We see you riots, we see what you want to do and how you try hiding it, it’s becoming awkward, really
@frgrz-GamingThe los ratones invitation make no sens. You are clowns
@kayzukeeprod49Cringe LR favoritism..
@filip4669LEC should split like LTA system. All EMEA regions aren't representated in LEC. This is unjust and boring tbh.
@aht291this is literally "how to not know when to announce new formats"
they literally announce it at a time where NO ONE on this world cares about domestic leagues because everyone is focused on worlds and mybe emea masters
La peor organización del mundo, cero profesional y el mayor monopolio en lo que el capitalismo refiere, total randoms, lo traduzco con chatgpt o ya saben que son unos bandidos?
@camilosoto3448Unfair, a disgrace
@tetbruleeAbsolute W. This will unite the die hard fans, hate watchers, normies, and lurkers.
@BrotherIon77Can't wait for kcb winning against kc or heretics s winning against heretics. It would be embarrassing.
@samitea2766Will we have fearless draft?
@khadrathunderborn5180Hello Max, stop taking us for dumb people. Los Ratones have a free pass because of the numbers, you dont care about their performance, energy or whatever you talking about. At least you could be honest.
Beside of that, the spring and summer splits are going to be insane, really good to extend the BO3 against all of the teams :)
Thank you 😭😭
@Severos66Why do you say "Your feedback means a lot" when 10 out of 10 presidents of LEC's teams told you bringing ERL's team was absolute garbage ?
Just quit and give LEC's direction to people who care about it, not about Caedrel's cock.
just keep Los Ratones in LEC if they perform at play-off team level and qualify at least in Play-off ahead of some other teams
@tektation122EMEA Manager is just a clown
@BasTioZSshoOterZEven less games during summer and winter
@pewtha414510 LEC teams told not to invite los ratones......and u kept on......no backbone no spine..les get caedrel and his fans.....and retrieve our testicules....
