Both the European and North American League of Legends Championship Series playoffs begin this weekend, with quarterfinal matches on Saturday and Sunday. Europe will go first on both days (as in the rest of the tournament), kicking off with Vitality vs. Fnatic Saturday.
EU LCS 2016 Spring playoffs schedule, bracket and results
An updated schedule and bracket can be found below the original one.
Riot Games
Coming into the split, H2K, Vitality and Origen were expected to be the main teams competing for the title. Origen (11-7) struggled a bit, but still made the playoffs, while H2K (14-4) and Vitality (13-5) clearly established themselves in the top tier. But it was new squad G2 Esports that ended up with the No. 1 seed after a 15-3 regular season record.
Also in the field is Fnatic (9-9), winners of five of the six EU LCS splits so far (Fnatic also finished second in the only split it didn’t win). But G2, H2K and Vitality are the clear favorites, and Fnatic has to start things out against Vitality is the first series of the playoffs. If G2 or Vitality wins it all, it would be the first time a team won the EU LCS in its debut split since Fnatic in Spring 2013.
All series will be best-of-five and streamed live on lolesports.com.
