Earlier this year, Riot Games and LoL esports announced the abolition of NA LCS, CBLOL and LLA and instead announced a new single regional Americas League, similar to VCT Americas.

Today, Riot Games announced ‘League of Legends Championship of The Americas’, abbreviated ‘LTA.’ The new league will feature two conferences, LTA North and LTA South featuring former LCS, CBLOL and LLA organizations.
