IWDominate: The Problem with LEC’s Format 😱

As a dedicated esports enthusiast with years of experience under my belt, I wholeheartedly agree with IWDominate‘s concerns about the LEC format. His insights into the flaws of the current system are not only thought-provoking but also backed by a deep understanding of the competitive landscape.


In a recent analysis, IWDominate has criticized the League of Legends Challenger format (LEC) in his latest video. He specifically points out two key issues: the fact that losing games do not affect rankings, and the disadvantage lower bracket teams face when competing against weaker opponents. Additionally, he laments missing out on exciting best-of-five matches with World Championship spots at stake. IWDominate finds the current qualification system for the World Championship to be a significant issue and expresses hope that changes will be made in the future.

Key Takeaways:

  • Losing games from Spring to Summer not counting is a major flaw in the LEC format.
  • Lower bracket teams facing weaker opponents affects the competitiveness of the league.
  • Missing out on hype best-of-five matches with World spots on the line is disappointing.

The Issue of Losing Games Not Counting

IWDominate points out an issue where games won in Spring but not counted towards LEC format are lost during the transition to Summer, which he feels diminishes the league’s competitiveness and undervalues the hard work put in by teams throughout the entire season. He contends that losing almost every game without any of those losses being accounted for is unjust and illogical.

Lower Bracket Teams Facing Weaker Opponents

An issue that IWDominate raises in his video is the impact of lower bracket teams facing weaker opponents. He mentions how teams like MAD Lions, who were eliminated in the lower bracket, had to compete against weaker teams compared to those in the upper bracket. This creates an imbalance and potentially skews the results, as the lower bracket teams have an easier path to victory.

Missing Out on Hype Best-of-Five Matches

IWDominate voices his discontent over not getting to participate in thrilling best-of-five contests that could’ve secured World Championship spots. He feels that these games would inject excitement and tension into the playoffs, as teams strive to earn a spot at Worlds. Unfortunately, due to the existing format, these matches are being skipped, which lessens the enjoyment for both players and spectators alike.
