Schedule and format
The 2019 LCS Spring Split playoffs consist of three rounds, with the first taking place between March 29 and March 30. The semifinals will then be held from April 6 to 7 before the grand finals on April 13.
TSM will face off against Echo Fox, while FlyQuest come up against Golden Guardians in the quarterfinals. Out of the two teams that survive the quarterfinals, the top-seeded squad (Team Liquid) will choose who they want to face in the semifinals.
The winners of the semifinal matches will then meet in the grand finals to fight for the 2019 LCS Spring Split title and North America’s spot at the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational, which will be held in Vietnam this year.
Team Liquid have won the past two LCS titles and will look to complete the three-peat. Can anyone stop them? Tune in to the matches over the next few weeks to find out.
