LEC Spring Format: No More Bo1s, Fearless Draft Returns
The LEC Spring Split starts March 29 at 2 PM CET, and we’re waving goodbye to best-of-ones—every single match will be either a Bo3 (regular season) or a Bo5 (playoffs). That means more thrilling comebacks, longer series, and better chances for teams to prove their dominance.
🔥 Format Breakdown:
- Regular Season (March 29 – May 12)
- 7-week single round robin
- All matches are Bo3s
- Only top 6 teams qualify for Playoffs
- Playoffs (May 24 – June 8)
- Double elimination bracket
- All matches are Bo5s
- Top 2 teams qualify for MSI
💥 Fearless Draft Is Back
Following huge community and pro player support, Fearless Draft will return across all multi-game series in Spring and the entire 2025 season. For those unfamiliar, Fearless Draft bans champions that were previously picked, creating hyper-diverse meta strategies.
