The LEC features an all-new format with three splits and game days.
But for now, the LEC Winter Split 2023 is starting in just a couple of days.
It will feature 10 teams with two new names in the form of Team Heretics and KOI.
The former acquired Misfits Gaming slot while the latter took over Rogue.
It will last just six weeks, from January 21 to February 26.
The same can also be said for each split duration with the Spring and Summer following suit.
There will now also be three game days every week on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
Split Finals will also be taking place every Sunday.
The first three weeks of the Winter Split will be occupied by Stage 1 of the LEC Regular Season.
All 10 teams will take part in a single-round robin best-of-one series.
This features two opening matches between the four teams in one group.
The team that wins in the final round of the lower bracket will also qualify for the playoffs.
The top team from each group will place in the upper bracket final of the playoffs.
Only during the Spring Split will we know who is going to the Mid-Season Invitational.
