A Guide to the LEC 2024 Spring Split
The LEC 2024 Spring Season is the second split of the second year of the newly merged EMEA League of Legends system. It is the sixth year of the LEC and the second season following the changed format. The Winter split features two different stages. Stage 1 will see all ten teams competing in a best-of-one (BO1), single round-robin setup. Meanwhile, the top eight teams will advanced to Stage 2, a double-elimination playoffs stage. Stage 2 will feature both best-of-threes and fives.
Before checking out the format, here are some pointers to keep in mind about the LEC 2024 Season:
LEC will merge the Group Stage and Playoffs for each split into a single bracket.
To better support the well-being of teams and players, LEC is extending the break between Winter and Spring Split, and also the break between Spring Split and MSI, by one week each.
Riot Games is also reducing the break between the Summer Split and the LEC Season Finals by one week.
The way Championship Points (CP) are given out is also changing in 2024.
