LPL Split 3 2026 Group Nirvana

The League of Legends Pro League is the tier 1 competition in China. The LPL Split 3 2026 is split into two groups, Group Ascend and Group Nirvana.

The four teams that didn’t make the cutoff in the Split 2 playoffs play in Group Nirvana. There, they’ll have a best-of-three double round robin. Two of them will qualify for the play-in while the bottom two teams are out.

While Group Nirvana is supposed to be one step below, there is an anomaly this split. The 2018 World champions Invictus Gaming dropped there after losing in the Split 2 play-in with a different roster. Now, their two star players returned from their break and the team is suddenly on Ascend level.

However, they’re not the only outlier as it is Ninjas in Pyjamas who have finished the first round robin undefeated. The matches opposing the top two and bottom two have an obvious outcome, but IG and NiP’s rematch will be anyone’s game.
