As we anticipate the onset of the League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) 2024 season, a significant development has emerged: the league will now operate with only eight teams. Announced on November 20, 2023, the LCS revealed its plans for the 2024 season and beyond. Josh Needham, the president of esports at Riot Games, expressed Riot’s commitment to the League of Legends esports ecosystem in North America during this pivotal transition.
This shift to an eight-team format marks a departure from the previous ten-team system, with Evil Geniuses and Golden Guardians exiting the LCS ecosystem in 2024.
Without further delay, let’s delve into the guide for the inaugural split of the 2024 season, the LCS 2024 Spring Split.

Needham elaborated that this change was made to enhance flexibility and prepare for future league restructuring.

We made this change prior to free agency that begins today to allow impacted players the ability to pursue opportunities with other teams or leagues.”
