    We’re making a tweak to our on-site co-streaming plans, and will now have @IbaiLlanos co-streaming live from Munich, while @Kammeto will be joining us from home.

    Riot didn't find a solution, in fact, Kameto gave up his place to Ibai so that he could support his team on site. x.com/IbaiLlanos/sta…

    Hi everyone, I’ve been following the feedback about the Summer Split format and schedule, and I want to be upfront about it. Summer Split format didn’t land the way we hoped and we won’t bring it back next year. We’re also looking for ways to increase the number of competition

    🚨#LEC UPDATE🚨 Hey everyone! When we announced the new Summer Split format, many of you said the cross-group decider matches would be even better as Bo5s instead of Bo3s and we couldn’t agree more. So, we’re making it happen! We’ve added an extra show day at the Riot Games

    #LEC update: The delays over the past days are caused by an issue in firmware that is commonly used by our pros. The issue didn't appear during the rehearsals. We are using temporary measures for now, during the week will be working on a permanent solution. Ty for the patience!

    Finally, big shout out to the LCS team and @TheeMarkZ for trailblazing the process and helping us to implement it for the LEC. Doesn’t mean we’ll take it easy on you at MSI though. ;)

    #LEC update: the issue that caused the extended break last week is permanently resolved. It prevented us to log-in players, observers, and crew to the game. The issue was quickly determined to not be anything related to our studio setup. 1/3

    Thank you for your support and understanding! It goes a long way. Sometimes issues require collaboration of people from various parts of the world resulting into longer breaks. What we had today is 100% unacceptable and will be our #1 priority to fix. #LEC

    Hi all, I’d like to provide a bit more context on this change. As the #LEC transitions away from Bo1s and moves into a format with more frequent Bo3 days, we’re adjusting the LEC start time to 5 PM CET to ensure smoother show days and better pacing for both players and fans.

    Mark your calendar, from next week onwards the LEC’s start time will move one hour earlier to 5 PM CET! On the triple best-of-three days, the #LEC will start at 2 PM CET. The Spring Split returns on Saturday, March 29 - we’ll see you there!

    We decided to implement this change to reduce the transition times from game to game, which we know is something many fans have been asking for.
