The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) Wild Card Playoffs begin August 28-31, featuring five regional champions competing for the coveted promotion spot to the LCP Arena in Taipei. This tournament marks a crucial step in Asia Pacific’s new promotion and relegation system.

LCP Wild Card Playoffs Team Lineup

Region	Team	Tournament Won

Tournament Format & Structure

The playoffs feature a unique Single Round Robin format where all five teams compete in two-game series. The points-based scoring system awards 2 points for wins (2-0), 1 point each for ties (1-1), and 0 points for losses (0-2).

Top three teams advance to the Bracket Stage, with 2nd and 3rd place teams facing off in the semi-final. The winner challenges the 1st place team in the Final, with both bracket matches starting with 1v1 for side selection using Fearless Draft format.

High Stakes Promotion Opportunity

The tournament winner advances to the LCP Promotion Series, competing for the Free-for-All Guest spot at the prestigious LCP Arena in Taipei. This represents the ultimate opportunity for regional teams to break into the top-tier League of Legends Championship Pacific competition.

The introduction of this wild card slot demonstrates Riot’s commitment to fostering diverse representation and enhancing competitiveness across the Asia Pacific ecosystem beyond traditional domestic leagues.

Notable Team Changes

Inferno Esports represents Philippines despite finishing second in Liga Republika. WPE’s academy team was deemed ineligible due to their parent organization competing in PCS 2025, following Riot’s guidelines preventing multiple teams from the same organization in promotion systems.

This ruling ensures competitive integrity while providing opportunities for independently operated teams to showcase their talent on the international stage.
