Background

The League of Legends Pro League is China's premier professional League of Legends competition, operated under Riot Games' global esports structure. The LPL is widely regarded as one of the two most competitive regional leagues in the world alongside the Korean LCK, and Chinese teams have historically dominated international events including multiple World Championship titles. The league operates on a split format, with Split 2 typically running through mid-year and culminating in a playoff bracket that determines the regional champion. The Split 2 winner also secures significant seeding advantages for international competition. Bilibili Gaming have established themselves as one of the league's foremost organisations in recent seasons, while Top Esports and JD Gaming carry sustained pedigrees as historically strong franchises.

Key factors

Several structural factors could influence which team claims the Split 2 title. Roster stability and mid-split transfers during the LPL's roster window can shift competitive balance, as player acquisitions or departures alter team dynamics ahead of playoffs. The double-elimination playoff format means a single poor series does not eliminate a team immediately, creating pathways for lower-seeded sides. Meta shifts introduced through Riot Games' patch cycle during the split can disproportionately benefit teams whose playstyles align with the current strongest champions and strategies. Fatigue from international commitments — including Mid-Season Invitational, which overlaps with the domestic calendar — may affect preparation windows for certain squads. The alphabetical tiebreaker clause applies only in the unlikely event that multiple teams are simultaneously declared winner, which is not a standard outcome under current LPL format rules but constitutes a defined contingency in the resolution criteria.
