Who works at LPL?

A small but mighty group of passionate admins, HQ office staff, and volunteers operate our ladders and moderate our channels. Click here to apply to become a volunteer LPL Admin.

What are ladders?

Ladders are the brackets in which individual players or teams are ranked in a particular tournament. These ladder standings will update after every match played in a tournament. Individual players/teams are able to rise up and down the ladders and divisions based on their performances.

What do the divisions mean?

Divisions (Open, Amateur, Evolution, Challenger and Pro) are our unique tiers of play.

The Open Division is a free-to-play division and a great way to try out the LPL Platform and competitive esports.

The Amateur Division is for users looking to play in a more competitive environment.

The Evolution, Challenger and Pro Divisions are invite-only divisions for the most premier esports teams. Players have the ability to “rank up” their division based on their end-of-season placements in the previous season.

Typically, the Top 4-8 players from lower Divisions will be invited to compete for a place in top-tier divisions at the end of each season. This varies from game to game, and up-to-date information can be found on the Event pages.

What are "Seasons"?

LPL holds three main seasons within a single calendar year. Each season will include 8-10 weeks of competitive gaming, with relegations being played before the following season commences to determine Division placements.

Tournament

When can I register?

You can register to any Open Division at any time as it is an open ladder. For Amateur & other divisions, keep an eye on our socials for when we open up sign ups in the new season!

How do I register to a tournament and create a team?

To register for a tournament you first need to decide which tournament you want to register for.

Go to the ‘Play’ tab and select the game you would like to play in, navigate to the tournament of your choice by clicking ‘View ladder’ and click ‘Register Now’. Type in your team name and hit ‘Create Team’. If you are participating in a single player tournament, you are still required to create your team.

Help! I can’t register to Pro, Challenger and Evolution tournaments! How do I register in them?

New LPL users can only participate in Open (free) or Amateur Divisions (LPL Subscription required). To play in Pro, Challenger, and Evolution Divisions, you must qualify through previous Divisions. (See: What do the Divisions mean?)

How do I add players to my team?

You can add players by going to your ‘Team Settings’ after creating a team via [ Profile Settings ] -> [ Teams ] -> [ Team Settings ]. You can then invite your team members by searching up for their username or by their email.

Can I play in a casual tournament rather than an ongoing league?

Casual players are advised to participate in Open Divisions. Alternatively, players can sign up for weeklies. Weeklies are matches that are played once per week, eg. every Thursday at 7pm. They’re not part of ongoing tournaments, but rather one-off events that allow you to get a taste of esports without committing to a full league which can last several weeks.

Once you have logged in, you can submit a support ticket here for any enquiries to do with website functionality, tournament administration or dispute queries.

What happens after I submit a support ticket?

An LPL Admin will respond to your support ticket and you will receive an email notification that your support ticket has been responded to. You can respond using the same support ticket accordingly.

How do I get quick or live assistance?

The best option for support is always submitting a support ticket via letsplay.live/support. Alternatively, you can also head into the LPL Community Discord here and join the corresponding game channel for direct discussion with tournament administrators.
