It’s been a little while since we caught up on all the action in the League of Legends Championship Series Spring Split events. Let’s get into it.
In each of the European (EU) and North American (NA) qualifiers, 10 teams have played across nine weeks of action. Each squad played the other teams twice online in best-of-one games. The aim is to be one of the six teams seeded into the playoffs, with the top two seeds earning places in the semifinals. The third through sixth seeds head into the quarterfinals.
NA LCS Spring Split – Regular Season
| Pos | Team Name | Won | Lost |
| 1 | 100 Thieves* | 13 | 6 |
| 2 | Echo Fox* | 12 | 7 |
| 3 | Team SoloMid* | 13 | 7 |
| 4 | Team Liquid* | 12 | 8 |
| 5 | Cloud 9* | 12 | 8 |
| 6 | Clutch Gaming* | 11 | 9 |
| 7 | Counter Logic Gaming | 7 | 11 |
| 8 | FlyQuest | 6 | 12 |
| 9 | OpTic Gaming | 5 | 13 |
| 10 | Golden Guardians | 4 | 14 |
*A series of five tiebreaker matches decided the final seeds within the top six teams. The first game was a simple tie-breaker between the two 12-6 record teams, 100 Thieves and Echo Fox. The former earned that victory to ensure they finished top of the table, with Echo Fox in second.
The next four teams shared 11-7 records. This required a four-game tiebreaker series, which eventually saw Team SoloMid earn the No. 3 spot, Team Liquid at No. 4, Cloud9 at No. 5, and Clutch Gaming in the final spot.
This leaves us with the following playoff scenario:
- 100 Thieves and Echo Fox are in the semis.
- Team Liquid vs. Cloud9 and Team SoloMid vs. Clutch Gaming comprise the quarterfinals.
The quarterfinals begin this weekend on March 24. The semis take place on March 31 and April 1 with the third-place match on April 7 and the final on April 8.
EU LCS Spring Split – Regular Season

| 8 | FC Schalke 04 | 7 | 11 |
| 9 | Giants | 7 | 11 |
| 10 | Unicorns of Love | 6 | 12 |
*G2 Esports and Splyce required a playoff for the No. 2 and 3 seeds. G2 Esports won that tiebreaker. Then, H2K and ROCCAT qualified with the same record as Misfits Gaming as they had better head-to-head records against this opponent.
Here’s the EU playoff picture:
- Splyce faces ROCCAT in the first quarterfinal, and Team Vitality clashes with H2K in the second.
- G2 Esports and Fnatic await in the semifinals.
The EU Spring Split Playoffs are the same dates as the NA Playoffs (outlined above).
