The RLCS X Championships are about to kick off, and we're here with all the information that you need to get started. We take a look at the RLCS X Champions that will compete in the Championships, when the games will be held, and where you can watch the RLCS X Championships. Let's quit yapping, and jump right into our RLCS X Championships Preview.

The RLCS X Spring Split Majors are now said and done, with Champions from each region moving forward onto the RLCS X Championships later in June. Players from North America, South America, Oceania and Europe are all coming together to celebrate one big RLCS X Championship – but with a twist.

We have already explained how this year's RLCS Championship is different to the previous few years. Check out our original article on this, as well as our RLCS X new, results, and rankings tracker...

Who Will Compete in the RLCS X Championships?

In RLCS X, regional teams will compete to become the champions for each respective region – there is no world champion this time around. Covid-19 means that there will be no true 'world champion' and instead, the prize money will be split between three separate regions, all of which must compete separately for the status of regional champions.
