First announced on LoL Esports: Building Towards A Brighter Future back in June, we revealed that a brand new multi-region league is coming to Asia-Pacific in 2025. Now, we’re beyond excited to finally share its official name – League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP)! Get ready for a groundbreaking new chapter as the LCP ushers in a new era for League of Legends (LoL) Esports in the Asia-Pacific region and showcase the passion and competitive spirit our players are made of.
The league is poised to make LoL Esports and organizations more sustainable while showcasing the best talent, diverse matchups, and fresh rivalries across the region. Fans can look forward to an exciting new way to support their favorite teams and players as we introduce regular inter-regional competitions aimed at enhancing the competitive strength of all teams.
Inter-regional rivalries have already proven to be fiercely competitive, evident from the PCS ecosystem, and the LCP will provide a platform for the competition to continue growing.
ASIA-PACIFIC ECOSYSTEM
The LCP will serve as a top tier regional competition as part of the Asia-Pacific ecosystem and is set to be the only route for teams within the region to qualify for global events next year. Sitting just below the LCP will be PCS, VCS and LJL. They will continue operations domestically in search of the best teams to compete for a Guest spot through the promotion and relegation tournament. More details on that tournament will come soon.
By creating a path between the LCP and the domestic leagues, we want to highlight the talent and enable the ambitions of teams and players throughout the region. In future, we aim to give wider access to the LCP by expanding the ecosystem beyond the existing domestic leagues, keeping the competition diverse and dynamic.
MORE UPDATES TO COME
The LCP is set to redefine LoL Esports in our region, and we have so many more exciting updates including teams and format information still to come! We invite you to join us on this journey as we shed more light on the LCP in the next couple of months.
