While the opening ceremony begins at 2 p.m. ET, the first match between Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid will follow an hour later, at 3 p.m. Both teams will play a best of five to determine who will face 100 Thieves in the grand final.
The next day, starting at 3 p.m., the grand final between 100 Thieves and the winner of the previous series will determine the spring champion. The grand final of the LCS Spring Split 2022 playoffs will either be a rematch of the best of five between Team Liquid and 100 Thieves or a completely new matchup between Evil Geniuses and 100 Thieves.
100 Thieves and Liquid already had a matchup for the ages that ended in a last second, Nexus backdoor from Felix “Abbedagge” Braun. 100 Thieves are defending their title from last summer while Team Liquid are looking to secure their first win as one of the strongest collections of talent North America has ever seen. Finally, Evil Geniuses have a roster of young talent vying for the organization’s first championship just one year after a significant roster rebuild.
