The Pacific region’s major LoL championship begins Jan. 17.
The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) has arrived! The first edition of the reworked Pacific LoL league saw eight teams packed with the best and brightest from all over Southeast Asia and Oceania battle — and it all started with the LCP Season Kickoff.
The Pacific LoL region now sees three splits over the course of a calendar year, each qualifying a team (or teams) to one of Riot Games' big tournaments: First Stand, Mid-Season Invitational, and Worlds. Who will rep the LCP on the world stage at the inaugural First Stand?
Here's the full schedule, results, and standings for the LCP Season Kickoff 2025.

LCP Season Kickoff 2025 format and teams
The LCP Season Kickoff was the first "split" for the Pacific championship league, starting on Jan. 17. LCP Season Kickoff was a two-stage tournament. The round-robin stage saw the eight teams (four Partners and four Guests) play a single best-of-three round robin. After each team played their seven games, teams were consolidated in a ladder.
The bottom two teams were eliminated, while the top six progressed to stage two — the playoffs. Here, the teams played a double-elimination bracket. First and second received a first-round bye. The winner at the end of the playoff bracket emerged as the LCP's representative for Riot's new major tournament, First Stand, in March.
Fearless Draft was used for the LCP in 2025, forcing teams to get creative with their drafts and adapt larger champion pools. Here were the teams participating in LCP Season Kickoff 2025:
Qualification | Team(s) |
|---|---|
| Partner Teams | CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) Fukuoka SoftBank HAWKS (SHG) GAM Esports (GAM) Talon Esports (TLN) |
| Guest Slot | Chiefs Esports Club (CHF) DetonatioN FocusMe (DFM) Team Secret Whales (TSW) Vikings Esports (VKE) |
