The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), the most successful area in the League of Legends esports (LoL Esports) world, will return for the LCK Spring 2024 season. The LCK stated last year that the playoffs for each split will be double-elimination, a major departure from previous model. The teams were also able to combine their rosters with those of their Challengers League (CL) teams. Having said that, the area has revealed its whole schedule for the LCK Spring Split 2024, which is scheduled to begin on 17th January   and go through the end of the year.

All the information regarding the LCK Spring Split 2024 is provided here.

Riot Games just announced changes to the League of Legends Esports ecosystem, so every split of the season will be extremely important this year. Although Riot Games altered the Worlds and Mid Season Invitational (MSI) formats in 2023, it stated that it intended to keep raising the bar for international competitions. This year has also seen the merging of Worlds and MSI. Three base spots for Worlds 2024 are awarded to LCK, one of the four major regions in the world. If the LCK raises the MSI trophy, this will rise to four.
