The LCS has announced that the North American Champions Queue will be making a comeback in December, and this time, it will include the long-awaited duo queue feature. This update aims to support professional players in their practice sessions leading up to the Season.
The LCS Players Association also confirmed that duo queue will be available on the dedicated server, providing players with more opportunities to train alongside their new 2024 roster teammates. This addition is seen as a valuable preseason training tool.
Despite criticism regarding the timing of the preseason schedule, which limits players’ ability to adapt to meta changes before the 2024 season launch, the introduction of the Champions Queue aligns with the 2024 season update. This will allow players to familiarize themselves with the latest changes in the most competitive environment possible.
Champions Queue offers LCS talents a more effective training experience compared to the regular League ladder. It operates during specific time windows and rewards players who achieve top rankings when the dedicated server closes.
Fans expressed their excitement in the Reddit thread, looking forward to watching games on players’ livestreams during the preseason when there are fewer competitive matches to follow.
While the exact open and close dates of the Champions Queue are yet to be announced, it typically gathers top NA talents on the server for a few weeks, providing an intense training environment.
Overall, the return of the North American Champions Queue, now featuring duo queue, presents an exciting opportunity for professional players to hone their skills and prepare for the upcoming season.
