LCP Split 3 2026 Group Stage

The League of Legends Championship Pacific is the premier competition for teams in the Asia-Pacific region. The LCP Split 3 2026 Group Stage is a Swiss tournament mixing best-of-threes and best-of-fives, concluded by seed decider matches. Then, the top four teams will enter the playoffs to determine which two of them will represent APAC at the 2026 League of Legends World Championship.

Historically, the LCP (or its ancestor, the LMS) has always been slightly below the other major regions, with occasional flashes of brilliance. For a long time, Flash Wolves were known as the Korean Slayers while ahq eSports Club was a threat to the West.

After years of slumber, the LCP earned the world’s attention again as CTBC Flying Oyster was one of the best teams in 2025. Despite never winning international playoff matches, they challenged the best in the world and made them sweat for it.

Then, at the 2026 Mid-Season Invitational, Team Secret Whales scored the region’s first ever best-of-five win against China as they eliminated Top Esports. TSW has also dominated the LCP through all of 2026, currently having a score of 22-1 in the region.
