Hi everyone, in order to keep RLCS Season 9 on track in the wake of the PsyNet service disruptions earlier this month, we have a few updates to share regarding the schedule for League Play:

  • League Play Week 2 will be at its normal times this Saturday and Sunday
  • Matches scheduled for Week 4 will be played during Week 3 (Feb. 22 & 23)
  • We are adding an additional double-header broadcast on Monday, March 9 for Week 3 matches

Shifting Weeks 3 and 4 around allows us to use a League Play week with ten matches for the double-header as opposed to the later League Play weeks that have 12 matches. This cuts down on the number of matches played in such a short time frame. We chose March 9th in order to give players, teams, and our production crew enough time to adequately prepare.

And about that double-header? Double Painted Fan Rewards will be ON throughout the ENTIRE broadcast! Make sure to tune in for your shot at some awesome painted Rewards.

Thanks for your patience while we worked through these scheduling details behind the scenes. We look forward to seeing you this weekend for Week 2 of #RLCS9 and are excited to bring you the first-ever RLCS double-header on March 9th!

So what does double header mean? Just that both NA and EU are playing on monday?

Yes, both NA and EU will play. There will be ten total matches (5 EU and 5 NA).

Thanks for this!

It gives us over at Fantasy time to adapt as well.

Stay tuned for updates on that.

Good to hear! :D

The fact that ENTIRE is fully capitalised makes it seem like itโ€™s a really long stream

It will be double the length of a normal RLCS broadcast, so get comfy haha.
