Fantasy LCS allows you to build a dream team of your favorite LCS players and battle your friends in head-to-head matches throughout each LCS split.
Build
Creating a league
- You can create your own league of 4, 6, or 8 teams
- After creating your league, you can send your friends an invite link to join your league.
- Keep in mind, you won't be able to start drafting until your league is filled up.
- You can continue creating leagues after LCS starts, though your league will be scored on future weeks.
- You can use the league message board to coordinate a scheduled draft time with your friends.
Joining a league
Has someone invited you to join their league? Just click on the league, name your team, and then wait for your league owner to start the draft.
The commissioner can select one of two scoring options:
Option 1: First 2 Games (Default)
This option emphasizes fairness between regions and rewards consistent performances.
- Only the first two games in each match are worth fantasy points.
- The most balanced option. NA and EU players will likely score similar fantasy points.
Option 2: Best Game
This option emphasizes making every game meaningful and rewards exceptional performances.
- Only the highest-scoring game for each Pro in a match will be worth fantasy points.
- NA pros will likely score higher fantasy points.
Drafting your team
To build your dream team of LCS stars, you'll conduct a draft where you and your competitors in your league take turns picking the players you want to form your team.
You'll be picking the following positions:
- 7 Starters:
- 1 Top
- 1 Jungler
- 1 Mid
- 1 AD Carry
- 1 Support
- 1 Flex player (an extra starter; can be a player from any position)
- 1 Team (like Dignitas or Fnatic)
- 3 Alternate players who can sub for a Starter
You can have a maximum of 2 players of the same position (you can't draft 3 Mids or 3 Teams). You'll earn points each week based on how well your Starters do. See below for scoring details.
You have a minute to make each pick. The draft follows snake rules: each round, the draft alternates pick order between first to last and last to first. To learn more about the draft process before it starts, log in to your league and check out our drafting tips to get acquainted with the draft screen. You can also communicate a time when you want to start a draft with your league. Keep in mind, you won't be able to start drafting until your league is filled up.
Play
Set Your Roster
Every week, you can change your starting lineup for your roster. Who’s on a hot streak, who’s got a difficult schedule? The roster decisions you make will determine whether or not your week ends in victory. Once matches start for a region, players in that region for that week will be locked. Rosters for the next week unlock when NA LCS starts play on Saturday.
Estimates are adjusted and new players added on the following schedule:
- EU players: Tuesday at 12 PM PST | 21:00 CET
- NA players: Thursday at 12 PM PST | 21:00 CET
Add/Drop Players
Want to pick up a rising star? Players that aren't drafted onto a team are put into a free agent pool, and you can swap players from your roster with the free agent pool. The swap will affect your next unlocked roster.
Positional eligibility
Over the course of the season, some players may end up shifting positions. They will be allowed to start in Fantasy LCS in any position in which they have played 3 or more games, and will retain that eligibility throughout the season. Players with multiple positional eligibilities will count only against the cap with fewer players on your team (so if you have 2 Mids, 1 Jungle, and 1 Mid/Jungle, the multi-eligible player will count as a Jungle).
Watch
See how members of your team stack up against the competition and watch the games to see your score rise throughout the day. Be sure to stay on top of the LCS action each week so you can find rising stars, swap poor performers, and support your team.
Scoring
Each week, your team will be matched up against another team in your league. Teams will earn points based on the performance of their starting line-up. Alternates do not earn points.
