So far so good, looks amazing. But what exactly does the addition of MENA, TCL and CIS bring to the LEC, except Turkish broadcast? They don't participate in the splits at all, only their ERL gets more coverage and is included in the tourneys for the EMEA Masters. When LEC plays on world stage 2023, do they people from MENA, TCL and CIS really identify themselves as LEC then? EDIT: Does this also eliminate their chances of sending a wildcard to worlds? Because basically, they don't exist anymore as they are part of LEC now.

What it does is make it cheaper to buy "hype" players from the dead leagues AND make the possible viewer numbers go up as there are more people that they can advertise to. However, I don't see how viewers are all of a sudden going to care about "EMEA" rather than their regional leagues. There are no new orgs and no guarantees for player representation either.

Riot decided to take their Worlds spot. As ERL their players will get more exposure to the LEC teams. Don't forget that the main pipelines for LEC teams are the ERL regions that compete in the EU Masters. The new ERL regions will provide spots in the EU masters and compete with the best regions in EU for exposure. It sucks they lose the Worlds and MSI spot but it is way better to have the opportunity to play against other regions constantly over the year to improve and advertise your brand, that to get eliminated after 4-5 games at Worlds and MSI early stages.

Amazing changes, I love the fact we have One winner at the end of it all now, in stead of the previous 2 splits version (Many people spoke that Spring split doesn't mean nearly as much as Summer). These changes to Bo3 and Bo5s will hopefully prepare our teams more for the international stage, as well as really make sure WE ARE SENDING THE BEST TEAMS to represent us. What's left to be answered is how do we determine who's going to MSI.

It's their success streak that allowed for political power that could change the format even though the numbers are increasing by doing almost nothing to the league itself. This almost exact format was battle tested by OGN in the early years and for old geezers like me, MOST WELCOME

I mean nothing against emea being part of the LEC but when i hoped for a bigger League i thought about the amound of teams. That would be particular nice with some TCL, MENA, ... teams comming to the league. The format changes have their positive Side (Bo3, Bo5) but also their major flaws (less games for lower tier teams getting even further behind). It might be better but its still far away from perfect. We will see in less than a year if the changes are good or bad. Hopefully we get a shot at that new Summoners Cup with the energy that is brought to the league from the new regions and fans.

Will every split final be hostet elsewhere from the Berlin studio (like Malmo) or just the season finals? 3: What if two split champions are the same? Does the runner up of that split get their seed or will there just be a seed more distributed by championship points?

I assume the changes are meant to represent and better prepare EU teams for the worlds format, but wouldn't Bo3 have made more sense at stage 1 rather than in groups? Although, who knows what changes are coming to worlds itself. Maybe worlds is moving towards Bo3 groups too? The upside is, this format allows for the expansion of the league without bloating the schedule, because teams get eliminated after a single round robin.

The reason they made b03 in the next stage is the age old concern that has always been the reason why lec didnt get a bo3 system like asian regions had, aka the fact that who would like to see teams like AST, BDS or SK or something duke it out in bo3. So right now stage one eliminates the worst teams so we dont have to watch them play bo3's also with the added aspect of the fact that you could get eliminated and play a lot less games than usual, so the orgs have a reason to make as competetive rosters as they can and not just tank out and be 0/18 every split
