@Riot or any CM that can answer - Why is worlds so early this year?

I'm not sure if I missed this somewhere - but why is worlds so damned early this year?

Last year it started in October.

This year.... August? Why? My only guess is that because of the changes to the NA and EU LCS, and given that we're on a circuit point system... that we're going to start having winter splits now....

This has been bothering me for a while, any insight would be appreciated.

WHAT? Worlds are going to be in October, heck, they will finish like a pair of weeks later than what they did last year

In late August there are EU and NA LCS finals, and after those there will be the tournaments to determine the third seed for each of those regions

Sort of off topic but..... not entirely... What happens after worlds... until spring split? Anything? That is a huge break.

MAYBE they will transition into 3 splits? Or they give a longer break so players can stream and teams can succesfully (lookin at you TDK) make changes. I agree that the break is huge, im like a drug addict i meed my lcs fix, i cant go that long with out it.

My fingers are crossed they want to wrap up the ranked season earlier and fix the god-awful changes they made this year.

Im actually happy that its so early this year. I honestly can't wait to see all the regions battling it out ! :D

Having a 3rd split would be cool.
