In the midst of League of Legends 2025 esports changes around the world, the entirety of The Americas has been changed and brought together in the Championship of The Americas.

The League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA) is the new esports region that includes North America, Latin America, and South America. Also known as the League of The Americas (LTA), it’s separated into two conferences: LTA North (based in Los Angeles) and LTA South (based in São Paulo. 

LTA North includes teams from North America and the Northern areas of Latin America. Each conference includes eight teams. Six of these teams are LCS (LTA North)/CBLOL (LTA South) partner teams, one is an LLA partner, and the last is a guest team. This ensures that each conference is diverse, bringing together established organizations with rising talent. 

LTA North will include Cloud9, Team Liquid Honda, FlyQuest, Shopify Rebellion, Dignitas, 100 Thieves, Lyon Gaming, and Disguised. The guest team, Disguised, made waves back in 2023 at the NACL

LTA South will consist of Fluxo, Furia, Leviatán, Loud, paiN Gaming, Red Canids, Vivo Keyd Stars, and Isurus. The guest team, Isurus, has won several championship titles, and even popped up in Worlds in the past.

That’s not all that’s changing. Like in other regions, the 2025 format for the LTA will also be different. Each conference will have three splits with live audiences throughout the year. 

Split 1 will be a double-elimination, best-of-three format in Fearless Mode for each conference. The top four teams from LTA North will head to Brazil to compete against the top four teams from LTA South. At that point, the tournament becomes a single-elimination tournament (still with best-of-three matches). The finals will be a best-of-five, where the winner will go on to the new international event later in the year. 

Split 2 consists of a double round-robin, best-of-one tournament in each conference. After this, the top six teams of each conference will go head-to-head in a double-elimination playoff tournament. The winner will head to MSI. 

Split 3 introduces the Pick and Play system. Essentially, this best-of-three tournament lets teams select their opponents for the next week, all live on stage. The first games will be chosen by Split 2 rankings, and teams at the bottom get a chance to challenge higher-tier teams. To keep things fair, teams aren’t able to challenge an opponent they’ve already faced. 

After three weeks of this new system, the bottom four teams will compete in an elimination-style tournament. At this point, the teams at the top will get first dibs at challenging the bottom teams. By the end of the sixth week, three teams will remain from each conference. LTA South will travel to LTA North for the 2025 Americas Regional Championship, where the teams will compete for a place at Worlds. 

Tweaks are also coming to the residency rules, letting teams count one player from LTA North/South as part of their own region. As long as their region (including this one cross-conference player) is the majority of the players on a team, then the roster is viable.
