On the first day of the competition, the current title holders G2 will face Astralis, who closed out the Spring Split in the last position. LEC fans will have to wait until the end of the second day of the split to see G2 battle against Rogue in a 2022 LEC Spring Split finals rematch. 

Despite the league’s format not changing, the schedule for the first two weeks of the 2022 Summer Split seems to have changed the usual rhythm that fans are accustomed to, balancing out traditional matches with new rivalries. At the same time, the LEC has kept some ties to the past split by kicking off Summer with the same matchup as Spring.
