2020 LEC season
The 2020 LEC season is the second year of the League of Legends European Championship (LEC), a professional esports league for the MOBA PC game League of Legends, following its rebranding in late 2018. The spring regular season began on 24 January[2] and was originally scheduled to conclude on 21 March; however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the season was temporarily suspended on 13 March.[3] Four days later, it was announced that all remaining LEC matches for the spring regular season would be played online, beginning on 20 March.

Notes:
Notes:
- Because Fnatic and Origen were tied in their head-to-head record, their tie was instead broken by their win percentage in the second round robin. Fnatic won seven games in the second round robin while Origen won six, and so second place was awarded to Fnatic.
