2014 NA LCS season
second season of the North American League of Legends Championship Series
The 2014 NA LCS season was the second year of the North American League of Legends Championship Series. It was divided into spring and summer splits, each consisting of a regular season and playoff stage. The top six teams from the regular season advanced to the playoff stage, with the top two teams receiving a bye to the semifinals. Regular season games were played in Riot Games' studio in Sawtelle, Los Angeles.
The spring split began on January 16 and concluded on April 20 with the spring finals, which Cloud9 won with the same roster from the previous split: Balls, Meteos, Hai, Sneaky and LemonNation.
The summer split began on May 23 and concluded with Team SoloMid winning their second NA LCS title on September 1, with a roster consisting of Dyrus, Amazing, Bjergsen, WildTurtle and Lustboy. The summer split also saw the introduction of Riot Games' official fantasy league, the Fantasy LCS.
Team SoloMid, Cloud9 and LMQ qualified for the 2014 World Championship by placing first, second and third respectively in the summer playoffs.

Why this record matters
The phrase “second season of the North American League of Legends Championship Series” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q25028586. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2014.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
