The second split of the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) 2025 kicks off on April 19. Following the dramatic conclusion of the first split and the impressive performance by CTBC Flying Oyster at the First Stand 2025, teams will once again clash for the championship title and slots at MSI 2025 and the EWC.

Main Favorite

CTBC Flying Oyster (CFO) were crowned champions of the first split of LCP 2025, defeating Talon Esports in the finals with a score of 3:1. Key players Doggo and hongQ showcased high-level play in the ADC and mid-lane roles, respectively. At the international tournament First Stand 2025, CFO also performed admirably, securing victories over Karmine Corp and Team Liquid, indicating their readiness to compete at the highest level.

Title Contenders

Talon Esports finished the first split in second place, falling to CFO in the finals. Although they started the tournament confidently, their loss to Vikings Esports in the playoffs was unexpected. To reclaim the top spot, they need to improve their macro play and adapt to their opponents' styles.

GAM Esports demonstrated consistent play in the regular season but fell to CFO in the playoffs with a score of 0:2. With time to prepare, they could become serious contenders for the title in the second split.

Dark Horse

Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks Gaming showed potential in the first split, especially in matches against strong opponents. Although they didn't achieve high results, with the right roster changes and strategy adjustments, they could become a surprise in the second split.

Teams to Watch

Vikings Esports became the sensation of the first split, securing a victory over Talon Esports in the playoffs, albeit later losing to them in the lower bracket. Their unique playstyle and strong team chemistry make them serious contenders for top positions in the second split.

Team Secret Whales finished the first split with a 4-2 record and impressive statistics: an average KDA of 1.7, 83.3% first bloods, and an 80% win rate when leading at the 15-minute mark. Their aggressive play and objective control could lead them to success in the second split.

The LCP Mid Season 2025 will run from April 19 to June 8. Teams will compete not only for the championship title but also for crucial slots at MSI 2025 and EWC. Stay tuned for results and updates, as this tournament promises to be one of the most intense of the season!
