The League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) is an upcoming professional esports league for League of Legends teams competing in the Asia-Pacific region.[a] Riot Games, the game's developer, and tournament organizer Carry International created the league on 29 September 2024. This followed an announcement in June by Riot in which they planned to form a single tournament to replace the Pacific Championship Series (PCS) and Vietnam Championship Series (VCS) as a tier-one league. Both leagues, along side the League of Legends Japan League (LJL), which was integrated into the PCS for the 2024 season, became tier-two leagues.
The LCP will utilize a hybrid franchise and promotion and relegation model, similar to the Valorant Champions Tour (VCT) in Riot's tactical shooter Valorant. Four teams will be "partners" in the league and can't be relegated, while another four are "guest teams" that can be relegated to the PCS, VCS, LJL or other sub-regional leagues based on their location.
The LCP is made up of three organizations from Vietnam, two organizations each from Japan and Taiwan[b] and one organization from Oceania. All teams will play from a studio in Taipei.
