Overview
The 2016 season changed the LCS promotion format, removing autorelegation and making the number of teams that participate from the LCS and Challenger sides uneven. Five teams participate, two from Challenger and three from LCS, and three teams requalify for or are promoted to the LCS, while the other two teams stay in or are relegated to the Challenger Series for the next split.
Format
- Five teams attend
- Bottom 3 teams from LCS Spring Season
- Top 2 teams from EUCS Spring Playoffs
- Round 1 - loser is eliminated, winner proceeds
- 10th place LCS vs 2nd place CS (Match A)
- Round 2 - winners qualify for LCS Summer Season
- Winner of Match A vs LCS 8th (Match B)
- LCS 9th vs CS 1st (Match C)
- Loser of matches B and C
- All matches are best of five
- Teams that don't qualify for the LCS are seeded into the EUCS Summer Season
