With all the other regions getting a head start, the LCS Spring Split 2022 event is finally here. Accordingly, kicking off this weekend, it’s the final franchised league to get things started. Feel free to read on as we provide all the viewership details you need below!
Event Background
Bringing the best in North America, we’re ready for another split of League of Legends. Indeed, apart from the $200,000 on the line, teams will be competing for seeds to both the LCS Spring Playoffs and more, the Mid-Seasonal Invitational event later on in the season.
In order to do so, competition will take place from the 5th February all the way to April 24th. Promising offline competition at the LCS Studio, the 10 franchised teams will be going at it once again:
- 100 Thieves
- Cloud9
- Counter Logic Gaming
- Dignitas
- Evil Geniuses
- FlyQuest
- Golden Guardians
- Immortals
- Team Liquid
- TSM
Let’s dive into further details below!
Format
In terms of format, the new season will follow the revisions promised for 2022.
Specifically, a double round robin will ensure that teams face one another twice across the eight weeks of competition. Besides the regular BO1 matches scheduled, one Super Week will take place offering 5 additional matches on a Friday of choice.
At the end of the split, seeds will be awarded as followers for the LCS Playoffs Spring:
- 1-4th – Semifinals
- 5-6th – Losers’ Round 1
Note that unlike last season, points earned through the Spring Split will NOT carry over to the Summer Split following feedback from the community.

Predictions
Making predictions after an off-season of changes both in the game and to the rosters is rather tough. However, luckily for us the LCS Lock-In 2022 last week gave us a taster of how the competition currently stacks up.
As a pre-season event, here’s how the 10 teams stacked up:
- #1st – Team Liquid
- #2nd – Evil Geniuses
- #3-4th – Dignitas, Cloud9
- #5-8th – 100 Thieves, FlyQuest, Golden Guardians, Counter Logic Gaming
- #9-10th – TSM, Immortals
Indeed, it seems the standings don’t quite match how the standings stood last year at the end of the LCS Summer 2021 Split.
Bearing the recent event in mind, we’d like to favour the likes of Team Liquid. Packing some veteran names such as “Bjergsen”, the roster is geared to maintain the early momentum and carry it on when it counts.
