The finals of the LEC 2022 Spring Split will take place on April 9 and 10. The finals will be held at the LEC Studio in Berlin. Just like the 2021 season, there will be no crowd allowed for the matches on account of fear pertaining to the spread of COVID-19’s Delta variant.

Therefore, it will be interesting to see how all of these teams perform. Either way, fans can surely expect high quality games that Europe has always offered. The winner of the Spring Split will get a direct invitation to League of Legends’ Mid-Season Invitational 2022 season.
