By Wyatt Fossett ·
North American League of Legends fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks, and we've got the dates and times you'll need to remember if you want to catch all the LCS Spring Split Playoff action.
Shortly after the conclusion of the first round of Playoff games in the European league, North America’s League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) takes to the mainstage to begin their Spring Split Playoffs. Match 1 of the first round starts at 2PM Pacific Time on Saturday, March 30th (today).
Yesterday, we went over all of the hype that surrounds this first-round of elimination matches in the LCS, and this weekend is up there in the ‘must watch’ League of Legends hall-of-fame. Everything that has to do with official League of Legends Esports can be found on the Riot Games Twitch channel, and the LCS Playoffs are no different.

With the rise of the ‘Giant Slayers’ in Echo Fox, and the return to dominance of TSM immediately coming to blows in the first round, the LCS Playoffs are going to absolutely pop-off this weekend. The first match between very even-skilled teams in FlyQuest and the Golden Guardians will cut the ribbon and start the flood of awesome League of Legends action.
With the first and second seed, both Team Liquid and Cloud 9 earned a first-round bye in the 2019 Spring Split Playoffs. But you can be sure they will be watching along this weekend, as the competition kicks up dirt.
Who do you have advancing to the second round of the LCS Playoffs? Who’s going to take it all? It’s pretty hard to tell from where we sit now, but we’re excited to discover how it all turns out in the end.
