LTA North 2025 Split 1: Schedule, how to watch, teams, rosters & more

The very first split of the LTA North (formerly known as LCS) is almost upon us. As the name may tell you, a lot has changed in North America’s premiere League of Legends circuit. Here’s what you need to know before it kicks off.

In the 2024 off-season, the League of Legends competitive ecosystem has seen no lack of turmoil. Despite Worlds 2024 once again breaking viewership records, a massive restructuring across all of competitive LoL saw teams disband and regional leagues change forever.

That said, there’s a lot to be excited about for fans of North American League of Legends. Disguised finally getting a slot in a tier 1 League, several teams remaking their rosters in an attempt to knock the top LCS teams off their pedestal, and international competition between North and South are just a few of the things that’ll be completely new to the region.

What’s more, this’ll all lead into the First Stand, a brand-new international event that will take the best team from each region and pit them against each other. Within the LTA, only one team between the North and South conferences will make it there.

Here’s everything you need to know about the LTA North, formerly the LCS:

What happened to the LCS?

As part of sweeping changes going into 2025, the LCS has been dissolved and converted into the LTA North. It’s made up of 76 LCS teams, with NRG bowing out of the league. LYON has joined in as a South American rep, and Disguised Toast has a guest slot.

FlyQuest won the last LCS split ever

100 Thieves also has a guest spot… sort of. It’s complicated. However, if you were wondering where to watch the LCS this year, it’s now the LTA North. You’re in the right place.
