The 2023 LCS Spring Split has wrapped up its regular season, and now, the league will shift its focus to the Spring Playoffs. After a flurry of tiebreaker games on the Spring Split’s final day, the top six teams in the playoff bracket have been decided.

After an eight-game day on the final day of the split, it was determined that Cloud9 would serve as the league’s top seed in the Spring Playoffs, with FlyQuest right behind them at number two. Unlike other leagues’ formats, C9 and FlyQuest are not rewarded with a first-round bye for finishing in the top two. Instead, the fifth and sixth-place squads—Evil Geniuses and Golden Guardians—are slotted directly into the lower bracket of the playoffs, meaning each of their games has win-or-go-home implications. 

The Spring Split playoffs begin right after the conclusion of the split, with no off-week in-between the end of the regularly scheduled games and the start of the postseason. All matches played during the Spring Playoffs will be best-of-fives. 

Here is the bracket and the schedule of matches for the 2023 LCS Spring Playoffs.
