Starting next season, the PCS ecosystem will be expanding to include the League of Legends Japan League (LJL). The LJL will continue to play its domestic season in Japan. Then, the top three teams from LJL will be seeded into the PCS Playoffs, competing alongside teams from PCS and the top two teams from the League of
Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO). All teams will be competing for an opportunity to participate in global tournaments such as MSI and Worlds.
