Welcome to Fantasy LCS, where you build your dream team of LCS pros and compete against your friends for bragging rights and season glory! Beginning this week, we'll be opening up the 2015 Spring Split Fantasy draft window.

Update: Drafting is now live! Head over the fantasy.lolesports.com to create your league. Update 2: We're aware of a few issues that players are experiencing. Head over to the known issues page for more details. Update 3: We've temporarily disabled drafts to troubleshoot an issue where players are getting stuck in draft. Head over to the known issues page for more details and the latest updates.

Fantasy LCS is getting a face-lift for 2015, thanks to the feedback you gave us in the 2014 Beta. Here’s what’s new:

  • NA and EU are now on separate roster locks that correspond to the first day of matches for each league.
  • Each league now features a message board where you can coordinate draft times and discuss strategy.
  • We added chat functionality during draft
  • Scoring has been slightly tweaked: we added a fast win bonus of 2 points for teams that win in less than 30 minutes. Stay tuned for an article that dives into the rationale behind this scoring addition.
  • We added a few administrative tools:
    • If you are a league creator, you can delete your league if you haven’t drafted yet.
    • You can also leave a league if you haven’t drafted yet.
    • You can now rename your team.
  • Your league home page, roster page, and match-ups page are now shareable publicly. Show off your dream team, those close wins, and your standings to your friends!

Never played fantasy? Don't worry -- it's easy! Join together with up to seven friends or fellow League players, then build your dream team, one draft pick at a time. Every player from the NA and EU LCS is up for grabs, and what they do on the Rift each week matters. You're awarded points based on their performance, so when your pros do well, you do too! Fantasy LCS also adds a new layer of fun to watching matches each week, as fantasy stats updates will be piped in at real-time.

We've got a bunch of resources to help get you ready for your draft. Learn how to play and about draft strategy at fantasy.lolesports.com.

Feel free to discuss strategy on this board. Who are your top picks?

So when does it go live for drafting and stuff?

Is there an option to delete old leagues? I don't like it when I have too many leagues on the homepage.

I've been trying to move Lustboy around in the Add/Drop, and now when I try to add him to my team it doesn't do it and it says internal server error.

What do we get for winning, because tbh I dont actually feel like putting time into something like this. But knowing my luck you guys will probably give out prizes at the end of the season to attract more players amirite?

Hey, this is great, however there is one thing that I'd recommend. I like that you have a 2 point extra bonus for shorter games, however this does not completely remove the advantages that late game teams (f.e. CW last season) had.

Now my suggestion isn't to increase these bonuses for shorter games, however keep it like it is now. The reason behind it is, yes, teams with longer games have more points, this isn't necessarily unfair. I believe this because now, time becomes just another factor, so IMO drafting isn't about kills/wins, however also about time, so it becomes an additional point in choosing a player/team, and I like that.

Similarly to the fact that you don't choose a football club just because they always win, however also because they score more goals relative to their position, I think that time should change the drafting a bit.

Can't wait to start our Fantasy office league. Looking forward to the draft.

I saw that piglet is not able to play so i tried to change him with another adc which is my flex player and now i got 1 adc but he is flex player so i dont have any player on the adc role. when i try to place a mid laner or jungler as flex and then add the other adc (altec) it still says it is invalid with to many players on one position. Removing the 2 adcs and then place altec on the adc role also gives the sam problem. How to fix this? Only 2 days left to habe my full team of 7 players and not 6 wich i have now

This is awesome and completely taking e-sports to another level. We've seen fantasy football, hockey, etc. But now we get something sexy like League of Legends?! Let's get this party started baby!

Edit: I support trading will need to be implemented. I hadn't noticed it originally but it's a necessary component that'll make the strategizing all the more real.

How can you still leave trading and waiver priority out?

Can you join a already existing league at random yet? It can be hard to find an invite and creating a smaller league just isnt as fun.

There needs to be a trading system ... I have a player in my league that is watching and whenever a player he wants is dropped for a trade he picks them up. It is beyond irritating.

Do I have to wait for NA players to lock in before I can drop them? Like will I get points for them for the week. I want to secure a better player asap and I want to make sure I get the points for the NA player. I want an EU player but they are already locked in.
