|content=The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) has revamped its format for the 2025 season. The new structure includes a single season divided into five rounds and the introduction of the LCK CUP.

Key Changes:

LCK CUP:

Runs from January to February.
Features two groups selected by the 2024 Summer finalists, Gen.G and Hanwha Life Esports, followed by play-ins and playoffs.
The winner qualifies for a new global event in March, where top seeds from regional leagues compete using a fearless draft format.
Regular Season:

Begins in April, with LCK CUP results not affecting placements.
The first two rounds (April and May) use a single round-robin, best-of-three format to create a league table.
Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) Qualifiers:

In June, the top six teams from the first two rounds enter a semi-double elimination bracket to qualify for MSI.
Rounds Three to Five:

Teams are divided into two groups: Legend (top five teams) and Rise (bottom five teams).
Each group plays a best-of-three, single round-robin.
The top four from Legend advance to playoffs, while the fifth place and top three from Rise enter a play-in bracket.
Play-ins and Playoffs:

Play-ins are a best-of-five, double-elimination bracket allowing two teams to qualify for playoffs.
Playoffs also use a best-of-five, double-elimination format to determine the champions.
