What is the LEC Summer 2023?
The LEC Summer 2023 is the third split of the year in the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) region’s professional League of Legends league.
Format
The tournament has three stages — regular season, group stage, and playoffs.
10 teams will play each other in a single round-robin, best-of-one format in the regular season. The top eight teams will qualify for the Summer groups.
The remaining eight teams will be divided into two groups of four in the group stage, which will be played in a double-elimination, best-of-three format. The top two teams from each group will advance to the playoffs.
The playoffs will follow a double-elimination format, where the remaining four teams will play in best-of-fives.
The winner of the Summer playoffs will be crowned the LEC Summer champion and automatically qualify for the Season Finals.
