League of Legends Continental League

The League of Legends Continental League (LCL; Russian: Континентальная лига по League of Legends, tr. Kontinental'naya liga po League of Legends) is the top level of professional League of Legends competition in the Commonwealth of Independent States, organized by Riot Games Russia. It replaced the SLTV StarSeries that was organized by StarLadder in 2016. There are eight teams in the league. Each annual season of play is divided into two splits, spring and summer, both consisting of five weeks of double round-robin tournament play, which then conclude with a play-off single elimination tournament between the top four teams. The winners of each split qualifies for the Mid-Season Invitational and the World Championship.
