2022 LPL Spring Split Playoffs Delayed
The 2022 LPL Spring Split playoffs have been further delayed due to COVID-19, league officials revealed on social media. The decision to postpone the playoffs schedule to April 12th and onward was made in order to prioritize the health and safety of players, coaches, team personnel, and staff. The games will be played remotely.
Originally, the playoffs were postponed until April 8, with the remaining matches scheduled to take place remotely due to a lockdown in Shanghai. Now, four teams—Victory Five, Top Esports, Royal Never Give Up, and JD Gaming—are left in contention for the spring title and a spot at the Mid-Season Invitational 2022. Six best-of-five series are yet to be played, with new schedules for each of them except for the final matchup.
The 2022 LPL Spring Split playoffs will resume on April 12 with Top Esports facing off against Victory Five. The second match of round four will be played on April 13, with JD Gaming clashing with RNG.
With the second semifinal planned for April 20, it’s possible that the grand final will also take place that week, potentially on the weekend. However, this schedule means that the champions will have less than three weeks to prepare for MSI 2022, which begins on May 10. The team will also have to allocate time for travel to Busan, South Korea, where the event will be held.
