Riot Games Unveils Updated LEC 2023 EcosystemFormat of LEC Winter 2023
In season 13, LEC became part of the revamped MENA region. This entailed changes in the format of holding championships under the auspices of the LEC.
Now 3 splits will be played in a year: Winter, Spring, Summer. Each of them will take place in several stages, and LEC Winter 2023 will open it:
- Season: regular league for 10 teams with more than 1 Round-Robin
- Group stage: eight teams from the regular season divided into 2 groups of 4 teams
- Playoffs: 4 teams from the group stage, the first places go to the winners' bracket, and the second places go to the losers. Matches are played in bo5 format, and the winner goes to MSI 2023.
