The LEC tournament is going to the thrilling period with the final matches of the group stage. However, when the play-off round was approaching, many fans of the tournament were commenting on the schedule of many problems in the summer tournament 2025.

The Summer League of Legends tournament of the EMEA - LEC 2025 Summer area has just ended 3 weeks of the group stage. In the near future, Week 4 is also the last week of the group stage and determined 8 teams to enter the play-off round. This year, LEC also did not use the final formula of the same season as 2023, 2024, but only one play-off round to identify 3 representatives to attend the 2025 World Finals. 

However, when the group stage was going to an end, many fans were pointing out the issue of this summer tournament. A fan wondered on the Reddit social network: "The second week has only 4 matches on Saturday and Sunday. In the third week, according to the usual schedule is 3 days (Saturday/Sunday/Monday) with 6 matches. By the 4th week, there are 4 bo3 matches on Monday and Tuesday?

Accordingly, the Lec audience is feeling very difficult to understand with the arrangement of the LEC Organizing Committee. Changing the day of continuous competition, unexpected break and play-off without the advance announcement made even the long-standing fans of the tournament feel extremely confused.

If compared to other tournaments, LCK always plays regularly from Wednesday to Sunday, every day there will be two bo3 matches. Although the LPL tournament has some changes in the schedule, it will often play continuously, with the number of teams participating in the superior tournament. Many fans pointed out that the reason for the unstable schedule is making Western League of Legends difficult to compete with the East. 

In an interview with Tabe at MSI 2025, this coach emphasized the practice spirit and dense schedule of the Asian teams. For example, Anyone's Legend itself, Tabe revealed that the team arranged regularly 3 training sessions/day, then the players also played themselves before going to bed, even almost no holidays. LPL also played continuously weekly, a team even played 3 matches/week compared to just 1 match at LEC. 

It can be commented that the level of level of Western teams is increasingly far from the East. Many fans are looking forward to the LEC and LCS tournament that will be played more and more stable, at least each team will play 2 matches/week like the LCK tournament, since the 2026 season.
