Everything League of Legends fans need to know regarding the LCS 2022 Summer Split

League of Legends' LCS is definitely one of the most exciting tournaments for the game. This is primarily on account of the immense competition that takes place within the region.

The Spring Split of LCS in the 2022 season was an interesting affair as well since Evil Geniuses made a heroic lower bracket run to clinch the title. That was definitely an upset too, considering Team Liquid and 100 Thieves were the original favorites to win.

In any case, the hype surrounding Summer Split is quite high and fans cannot wait for the tournament to start. The starting date for League of Legends LCS 2022 Summer Split is June 17, 2022.

Thus, there is almost no time left for the participating teams, especially for Evil Geniuses who just returned from MSI 2022. However, that is how it usually goes and there is not much that players can do.

As mentioned earlier, the teams are finalized, but the rosters are yet to be confirmed. However, trusted insider sources have provided an overview of the player line-up for every participating team.
