The LCP Wild Card is back, giving teams across Southeast Asia another shot at qualifying for the LCP Promotion Series and a chance to earn their place in the LCP. This year, the Wild Card is expanding access with qualifiers in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand.
After the regional qualifiers, teams still have one more shot through the Last Chance Qualifier. This stage is open to eligible teams from all over Southeast Asia, including those who played in earlier Wild Card rounds or come from other qualifying regions. Winners from each regional qualifier, including the Last Chance Qualifier, will move on to the LCP Wild Card Playoffs. Four teams will battle it out, and the Playoffs champion will earn a spot in next year’s LCP Promotion Series.

LCP WILD CARD QUALIFIERS FORMAT
Open Round
Teams will face off in a two-day, single-elimination best-of-1 bracket. After Day 1, the top four teams move on to the Knockout Round. On Day 2, the bracket resets for everyone except those top four. Matches use Tournament Draft, and side selection is determined by a coin flip.
Knockout Round
The eight teams that make it through the Open Round will battle in a double-elimination, best-of-3 bracket. The Finals step things up to a best-of-5. All Knockout matches use Fearless Draft. For Game 1, a coin flip decides sides, and after that, the losing team picks.
There’s a 2,000 USD prize pool up for grabs, and the top teams from each qualifier will punch their ticket to the LCP Wild Card Playoffs.
