DETROIT, MI - AUGUST 25: Final match Cloud9 vs Team Liquid onstage at League of Legends ChampionshipSeries Summer Finals presented by Rocket Mortgage at Little Caesars Arena on August 25, 2019 in Detroit, Michigan. Riot Games announced a slew of new format changes for its North American esports league, including two premier Monday night games and a RedZone-esque broadcast for its lower-tiered Academy league.
While Saturdays and Sundays will still feature the majority of the LCS games—four matches plus an Academy tilt—Monday nights will now feature two"marquee match-ups," with three Academy games serving as a pre-game. Riot will also now broadcast Academy Rush on Fridays, which will feature the casting team jumping between four simultaneously played Academy games à la NFL RedZone, concluding with a full fifth game.
Riot is also adjusting the format for its Spring Split playoffs: instead of doling out points that go toward a regional qualifying tournament for the year-ending World Championships, the spring playoffs will only determine who plays in the international Mid-Season Invitational. Doing away with the regional qualifying tournament, Riot will expand the summer playoffs: the top eight out of ten teams from the regular season qualify, with the top three teams moving on to the World Championships.Key Background:
