HOW DO I BUY TICKETS?
Fans can purchase their tickets online through the KKTIX website or at FamilyMarts across Taiwan when ticket sales open on 5 April.
The ticketing page is available in English, Chinese, and Japanese. Once ticket sales open, follow the instructions to select your dates, seats and complete the checkout process.
Tickets are sold per Match Day and provide entry to the arena for all matches scheduled on that specific day.
MID SEASON FORMAT
In the LCP Mid Season, teams will be competing to become one of two LCP representatives at MSI. In the Regular Season of this split, teams compete in a Single Round-Robin Best-of-3 (Bo3) format, with the top six teams advancing to the Qualifying Series.
Apart from a spot in the Qualifying Series, teams are also battling to earn preferential seeding in the LCP Season Finals, as team performance in the Regular Season of the Mid Season will have an impact on how they are grouped in the final split.
In the Qualifying Series, teams compete in Bo3 matchups in Rounds 1 and 2, followed by Best-of-5 matches in the final rounds. Both Grand Finalists will secure their place at MSI.
As announced last month, Fearless Draft will return for the rest of the season. Teams will need to continually innovate and adjust their strategies, promising even more exciting matches with fresh and dynamic team compositions.
1v1 side selection will also make a return for Mid Season with a new pool of champions! Stay tuned for updates on our social channels for more information!
