With the Regular Season now over and six teams locked in, fans and analysts are ramping up for some great best-of-five (Bo5) series that will push the LEC pros to their limit given the Fearless Draft format.
Not only was the Regular Season full of surprises but it seems the region is finally seeing some much-needed changes in terms of the power dynamics as G2 Esports dominated the scene in previous years. Now with a revitalized Fnatic, and Karmine Corp aiming to seize the crown from G2 once more, we are in for quite the fun and exciting Playoffs Stage.

LEC Spring Playoffs

With MSI 2025 just around the corner, all of the major regions are gearing up to choose the best teams to compete in the next major international tournament. The stakes are high so let's go over the format of the LEC 2025 Spring Playoffs Stage.
Format
- 6 Teams Competing
- Double elimination bracket
- 1st to 4th start in the Upper Bracket (KC, FNC, MKOI, G2)
- 5th and 6th start in the Lower Bracket (GX, TH)
- All Matches are Best-of-Five (Bo5)
- Top 2 Teams Qualify for the MSI 2025 and the Esports World Cup 2025
Given the very fun and at time absurd Regular Season consisting of back-to-back best-of-three (Bo3) matches, six of the best teams were able to claw their way to the top. Now, we can expect even more banger games as the champion pool will only became smaller and smaller as the series go on.
