Who will be the champion this split?
The 2020 LPL Summer Split has finally returned. Matches will continue in an offline format without a live audience to protect players and staff from potential exposure to the coronavirus.
A total of 17 League of Legends teams will face off against one another in a single round-robin over 10 weeks. The top eight teams will move on to the playoffs. All matches are best-of-three series during the regular season and playoffs, except for the final playoff game, which is a best-of-five. This means that winning every single game is crucial since it increases the number of points a team has, even if they don’t win the overall match.
The entire league is stacked with both veterans and rookies. Former world champions Invictus Gaming and FunPlus Phoenix are looking to reclaim their glory, while JDG and TOP Esports will try to make a name for themselves.
Here are the standings for the 2020 LPL Summer Split after eight weeks of play.
