LTA Fantasy Returns for Split 3 After Its Successful Debut
Following its impressive debut during Split 2, LTA Fantasy is back and ready to accompany fans through the most decisive phase of the 2025 season. The free manager-style game, which launched as an open beta on April 2nd, 2025, has proven to be a fun experience that allows fans to engage with the competitive League of Legends scene, and Split 3 promises to be even more exciting!
The fantasy platform made a strong first impression and quickly established itself as a must-have companion for LTA enthusiasts. After receiving valuable feedback from the community and fine-tuning the experience throughout its inaugural run, LTA Fantasy returns with the same engaging mechanics that made it an instant hit, ready to enhance the Split 3 viewing experience for fans across the Americas.
What Is LTA Fantasy?
LTA Fantasy is a free manager-style game that allows fans to build teams using professional players from the LTA North and South Conferences. Each week, participants create lineups that score points based on the real-world performance of players in official matches, creating a dynamic and engaging way to follow the competitive scene.
The key difference that made LTA Fantasy stand out during its Split 2 debut was complete freedom of choice: you can draft players from any team in either conference, rewarding those with comprehensive knowledge of both leagues. This cross-conference approach has proven popular with fans, as it encourages broader engagement with the entire LTA ecosystem.
