LCS and Worlds

LCS and Worlds image

Each season of League of Legends is divided by regional leagues, known as the LCS, and forms both a Spring and Summer series in which the premier talent from each geographical region competes to prove themselves the best organisation.

These competitions culminate in the ultimate annual Worlds Championship, featuring the top teams from each region’s individual LCS league.

North America, Europe and Korea are the three biggest contenders expected to reach the Worlds finals each year, and have each claimed the trophy as their own over the years.
