MAD single-handedly making championship points go

LEC finally giving us Bo3s instead of endless Bo1s

[eowinvandijk]

Having 3 different formats for winter, spring and summer sounds great seems like every split will be exciting to watch. Still wish we had more then 1 final in an big arena.

9 games was never enough to justify having a team drop out early, S04's miracle run in 2020 summer would have never happened if teams were knocked out after just 3 weeks where they only played 9 BO1's. But by far the biggest improvements are switching to Bo3's and travelling to venue's for certain games, the Bo3's allow teams more games on stage and force them to play more drafts, where playing at different venues will reward the teams that can appeal to fans the best, and make the rivalry games that bit more hype with chants from each team. Much needed changes.

i dont understand anyhthing, but more BO3, fearless, no championship points and every split giving our best team in region to compete at event is very good

props to the person who worked in the edition of the video, very clean job.

LEC Win Check List:
< No Season Finals
< No Championship Points
< Live Patch
< FEARLESS DRAFT in Winter
< BO3s in Spring AND Summer

LEC Loss Check List:
< no BO3s in Winter
< still only 1 road show, BUT home games
< (more fearless pls pls)

So I see that as an absolute W; actual goated changes

[fuchz]

Everything looks pretty hype and i am excited for the new season to start. It's just sad that we still only got one split where the matches will be held in a stadium. Hopefully this will feel a bit better with the home games they are talking about cause otherwise it still feels a bit lackluster.

[goncalosilva]

Incredible video format, editing and hype

[galador]

Only one roadshow? They are what make LEC hype for me, its such a massive shame that two finals will be in the LEC studio again. I understand it for winter, but why not have spring finals in a 2000 seat arena somewhere?

[Ad_Dystopia]

This is actually an interesting format. The Fearless Draft change sounds good. I hope it works well, so we can see more of it in 2025.

[hbeau]

I'm glad season finals is gone, I quite liked championship points personally but the new splits look really fun from a viewing standpoint and I think it's really fun that there's different formats for each split. Not sure what the pros opinion on always being on latest patch will be but looking forward to lec 2025 😁

[aegis]

I'M SO HYPED, this seems really good finally

[BBQPiraat]

These are so many more games! For sure with double Elimination. Everything sounds great!

[Omegathejoa]

Fearless Draft is a must, this gonna be amazing to watch, looking forward to it. Hope we gonna see it more about Fearless Draft in the future!

[berkbabo]

Damn thats really awesome i think. Could really bring LEC back to its glory. Also having different Formats on all 3 splits makes the whole year less boring and more exciting every time while also every split is important to qualify for international events. GJ!

I am just impressed that Vivaldi's Spring Concerto 2:59 was played as an intro music to explain the lec spring.

[ezraxe]

Very good choices! More games, more variety, more fun. Let's hope for more positive changes in 2026 where we can see more arena games. That seems to be the last missing piece!

[fnc_wave]

this is exactly the changes a lot of fans have been asking for. ty for listening

[PhoenxChan]

Wow... It was so easy to understand for once, even I understood the Fearless Draft in Summer.
