The LEC’s 2025 Summer Split format continues to draw heavy criticism, with GiantX ADC Noah the latest to voice frustration. On X, he blasted the schedule: “We wait 17 days to play one series, then need to wait 10 days to play another… Only two series in 27 days is crazy.” He also contrasted Europe’s slow pace with Asia, noting LCK and LPL teams play two series a week. Fans have already complained about the erratic schedule, where matches sometimes land on Tuesdays with long breaks in between, disrupting momentum. Newcomers like NAVI have also said the format doesn’t allow teams enough stage time to learn and adapt.
Noah stressed that fewer high-pressure matches leave Europe at a disadvantage internationally, echoing concerns from MSI 2025 about scrim culture and suggesting more official games are key to closing the gap.
