LTA Fantasy Elimination Phase Brings Coin Bonus and Substitution Updates
Tension is building as the LTA Fantasy Elimination Phase is about to start! For fans of the League of Legends fantasy game, the stakes couldn’t be higher: every match now directly impacts not just the tournament standings, but also your Fantasy scoreboard.
It’s survival mode for the teams, and strategy mode for you. Let’s break down what’s coming.
Matches of the Week
This first Elimination weekend is all about Upper Bracket clashes, now in an intense Best-of-5 format. Only the top-half teams are in action, which means explosive lineups and high Fantasy potential.
LTA North
LTA South
*Remember: For Week 4 of LTA Fantasy, only players in these matches can score points. If your picks aren’t on stage this weekend, they won’t contribute and you'll be left behind.
LTA Fantasy Elimination Phase Coin Boost
Here’s some good news for Fantasy managers: Because fewer players are competing this round, and most are from the upper half of the standings (meaning they cost more), the game is giving you an extra budget push.
- Minimum playable budget was calculated to ensure a viable roster could be built by every player.
- +10% bonus was added to the minimum as buffer for flexibility and creative picks.
- Final amount guaranteed: 59.2 Coins minimum for every player.
If your balance was below 59.2 Coins, it has already been topped up automatically. If you were already above that amount, no problem, you’re free to keep strategizing with your existing funds.
Updated Substitution Rule
To keep scoring fair when dealing with player swaps, especially between teammates in the same role but with very different prices, LTA Fantasy has refined the substitution mechanics.
Here’s how it works now:
- If a more expensive player plays instead of a cheaper one, those who picked the cheaper player get a proportional score (based on the price difference), with no champion multipliers or value appreciation.
- If a cheaper player plays instead of a more expensive one, the expensive pick gets only the cheaper player's actual score, also without multipliers or appreciation.
- If both see playtime, you score normally from the one you actually chose.
Example: Two players from the same team/role cost 5 Coins and 10 Coins
- If the 10-Coin player plays, the 5-Coin pick gets 50% of their score.
- If the 5-Coin player plays, the 10-Coin pick gets full score of the cheaper player, but with no bonuses.
- If both play, normal rules apply.
Ready to Shine in the LTA Fantasy Elimination Phase?
Week 4 is short on the number of matches, but high on impact. With only top-tier teams on stage and a boosted budget in hand, smart decision-making is everything. Choose carefully, keep the substitution rule in mind, and get ready for a weekend that could make or break your LTA Fantasy season.
The Elimination Phase is here. Who’s surviving, and who’s going home? One thing’s for sure: every point counts.
