Last week, we confirmed the return of EU Regionals to Gamescom and NA Regionals to PAX. We’re excited to share that the next LCS event after NA Regionals will be the 2015 Spring Promotion Tournament. EU and NA teams will be at the LCS Studio in Los Angeles, CA on September 9-11 for a chance to qualify for next season.
On the stage of the Promotion Tournament, the bottom three teams from each LCS region will be defending their spots in the league against top contenders from the Challenger circuit. Promotion Tournaments ensure the best teams are in the league, and it’s also an opportunity to shake up the LCS and Challenger scene with new talent, strategies, and storylines.
All Promotion Tournament matches will be best of 5, with the winners moving on to the LCS for the 2015 Spring split.
Last year, we hosted the Promotion Tournament after Worlds but we decided to move it up earlier this year to give newly qualified teams additional time to prepare themselves for the LCS. We also wanted to avoid teams being in limbo for months, not knowing if they would qualify for the next season or not.
We’re still finalizing plans for 2015, most notably by continuing to consider a possible League expansion and we’ll continue to share updates about how events like the Promotion Tournament will fit into next season.
