The animation done in this video is probably more effort than the 2023 season announcement.

As an LCS fan I can't state just how jealous I am of the LEC communicating with fans.

In the midst of this horrible season start, LEC actually looks really promising! Very hyped for this format!

[brunoramos]

So this video pretty much confirms that we go from 2 LEC titles to 1 from now on with the other 3 splits probably counting as minor titles I guess, I love that, its gonna be so good for storytelling, also, 1 title a year makes it more prestigious to get

Gonna admit, this format and the changes to MSI and Worlds are fire, this looks so exciting!!

Every time LEC mentions this new format I'm just so happy and hyped. It feels like such a cool and smart solution to the best of three vs best of one question. Love it, love it, love it and can't wait for the winter season to start

I can't freaking help but LOVE the LEC. They are the embodiment of what the league community looks for in communication and entertainment. I'm so hyped for this year. Ty LEC <3

So hyped for this. Truly why LEC is the best league. Willing to listen to its audience and make a product that is always fun to watch even if we get crushed by LPL and LCK. However I do have some Hopium that this more competitive format along with all the teams switching it up will produce better results for the west.

When the format is difficult to explain, who other than Quickshot to make it sound simple. Love you Quickshot!

[uncleryze]

I've never been so pumped for a season of competitive league, this format will be amazing

[GoddessLunaMoon]

These changes look incredibly promising!! Cant wait to watch the LEC this year!!! \o/

[kinkkku]

Haven't watched regular seasons for years, only some MSI and worlds. I knew there was some format changes but I didn't know what. This video actually made me a bit hyped to watch regular season again. Hopefully it's as good as it sounds! Good luck to all the LEC teams!

Im so excited for this LEC year!!! So many best of ones got tiring with time. Is been a long time waiting for this BO3 format! It’s also great practice for international events! And now all games count!!!

[AppleBaron]

Fantastic explanation of fantastic new format. Let's go LEC!!!

[onetinymadman]

This is actually SUCH a good change. More games = more competetive training = more competetive showing at Worlds in the long run. Can't wait

[morfitnessinfo]

There is a reason I stopped watching LCS a year ago and started with the LEC--the production quality, energy, and excitement is second to none!

[lordkaby]

This is rly exciting im hyped for this format. Hope it doesnt take too much of a toll on players if its so packed but from a viewer perspective its focking thrilling

[arai_tube]

I cannot stress how this new format is already much better format MILES away. Very hyped honestly.... nO a GuY thaT Put ComMenT daT ofTeN bUt HELLLL LEC

LEC production is overtaking the whole RIOT production by a mile!! Well explained Quickshot and team.

[DexLight]

I'm so happy with this format. The teams will play more series and the final trophy will be more important and prestigious. Also, the teams qualified to Worlds will have more preparation.
