A history-making upcoming split in the LCS becomes more and more interesting each day leading up to its start, with the possibility of complete cancelation now on the table.

Riot Games released the schedule for the 2023 Summer Split during MSI, only a few short days before both North American representatives—Cloud9 and Golden Guardians—were sent home. Originally, the split was expected to begin on June 1, culminating in the LCS Championship in late August, but after a player walkout over the state of the NA Challengers League (NACL), Riot has delayed the start by two weeks.

Should Riot and the LCS Players Association (LCSPA) be unable to reach an acceptable outcome after this two-week period, the Summer Split may well be canceled in its entirety and the LCS will be removed from qualification for this year’s World Championship. At this time, this measure has not yet been taken.

As with all previous splits, the Summer will begin with a rematch of the Spring grand finals, featuring C9 against the Golden Guardians—with no changes expected to be made to these rosters. From there, all 10 LCS teams will participate in an eight-week double round robin, with the top eight teams qualifying for the playoffs stage.

The LCS will also be welcoming NRG back to the league with the start of this split, taking up the slot that CLG held within the NA league for many years. As of now, it appears that many pieces of CLG’s Spring Split roster will remain on stage as part of NRG’s main roster, but with rumors of a few changes.

Summer will culminate in yet another iteration of the LCS Championship, complete with a bracket stage that will lead into the lower finals and grand finals at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. This split marks the return of the LCS to this venue following the cancellation of the 2021 LCS Championship, which was moved due to global circumstances.

However, due to the postponement of the regular season, there is a possibility the LCS Championship’s location will be moved again.

Here is the current schedule for the 2023 LCS Summer Split, which may change in the coming weeks following negotiations (or lack thereof) between Riot and the LCSPA.
