LCK 2022 Spring Split Format
The LCK 2022 is starting on Jan. 12, with its projected end date on Mar. 20. The LCK so far has been all offline, with players playing on stage. The schedule might be subjected to changes depending on how the Covid-19 situation is, but even if that happens, it should still finish before the end of March. The LCK already did play online last year, so it shouldn’t be an issue to make the switch.
Just like the LPL, the LCK Spring schedule lasts for a total of 9 weeks. The main difference with the Chinese region, however, is that every week’s LCK action is concentrated from Wednesday to Sunday, with 2 series per day. As a result, a total of 10 Bo3 matches are played every week.
The LCK Spring Playoffs start almost right away after the regular season, on Mar. 23, and ends on Apr. 02. During these 10 days, Korean teams will play in a single-elimination bracket to determine the LCK Spring Champions and the representative for the 2022 Mid-Season Invitational. All matches will be Bo5 series, so action will be guaranteed!
How to watch LCK 2022 Spring Split Live
Just like every major region, you can watch the LCK 2022 Spring Split either through the LoL Esports page or the LCK’s official Twitch channel. The exclusive thing about the Korean League is that you can watch the broadcast with English commentary or Korean commentary. If you understand Korean, watching in the domestic language can make the experience much more immersive, so make sure to check it out!
As always, remember that watching through the LoL Esports page can secure yourself Hextech chests and keys that you can use directly with your client, as long as you’re logged in with your official Riot account. So it’s more about what your preference is. Personally speaking, I enjoy watching the LCK from the English commentary, as I think the casters are great!
The main difference with the other regions, however, is that the LCK is not broadcasted on Youtube anymore. Starting from 2021, the LCK and Youtube could not reach a broadcasting right agreement. Nonetheless, the Korean League has a Youtube Channel where they post highlights and special content! The LCK also offers the broadcast in other languages, including Italian, French and German. If you wish to have interaction with your compatriots, it’s a great way to do so!
Anyway, the LCK is one of the most followed Leagues on Twitch, with an average of more than 40,000 viewers. This only counts for the English broadcast: the Korean one usually packs even more viewers! So, what are you waiting for? It’s time to enjoy some LCK action!
