The merger also aligns with the recent announcement of the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP), a new regional tournament for the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. A wild card slot in the tournament's promotion and relegation system will pave the way for competitive play from SEA countries such as the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia.
