Riot Games is once again inviting the best players in NA solo queue to a multi-stage tournament made up of the best amateur talent that the region has to offer. The LCS and FACEIT will be hosting the LCS Scouting Grounds Circuit, where the best semi-pro teams will be invited to qualify for Scouting Grounds 2019.

One trick players will also have restrictions placed on them. They can only have 30 percent of their total games played on one champion over the full eight cycles of snapshots. The rules for one tricks are as follows:
