QT DIG∞ LJL 2025: The Forge Season
The LJL 2025 Forge Season is the 21st season of Japan's professional League of Legends league. 2025 marks the first year of the LJL as a regional league below the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP), with the Finals champion of the LJL qualifying for the LCP promotion & relegation tournament.
Tournament Structure
Main Stage (Swiss): 16 teams participate. This includes teams from LJL 2024 Summer not in LCP, the LCP Academy team (DFM.A), and qualifiers. Teams play a Swiss-style format where 3 wins advance to Knockout, and 3 losses result in elimination.
Knockout Stage: Single elimination bracket. The Finals are Best-of-Five (Bo5), while other matches are Best-of-Three (Bo3). The Top 4 teams qualify directly to LJL 2025 Storm.
Seasonal Progression: The year is divided into three splits: Forge, Storm, and Ignite, culminating in the Season Finals based on Championship Points.
