The 2022 Demacia Cup will kick off soon with the big LPL squads facing off against one another, with Independent LDL teams, as well as amateur teams, able to participate in the event. This is a great event before the start of the actual season to give fans insight into their teams. 

This year the off-season has been insane with star players from the LCK joining, while others left the region altogether to find their luck in other regions. So, let's go over the Demacia Cup 2022 and which teams we can expect to see. 

 

Demacia Cup 2022: All Participating Teams 

Participating LDL and Amateur Teams

A total of sixteen LDL and Amateur teams have qualified for the 2022 Demacia Cup. They will be playing in a first stage made up of 4 Swiss rounds of best-of-one games. Swiss rounds mean that teams play a fixed number of games and those teams that didn't have enough wins fall off before moving onto the next round. 

Independent LDL Teams

The LDL is the minor league under the LPL where young players get to hone their craft before joining LPL teams or getting called up to the LPL major roster (if they are already on an academy team).

How to Watch Demacia Cup 2022: Livestream

There is no official LPL stream for English viewers of this event. Instead, we get an official co-stream of the event in english hosted by Lennon "Mazel" White who is an official on-air talent for the LPL English. There are also two streams in Chinese for viewers. 

While this isn't the biggest event of the year, the Demacia Cup is always fun since it gives us something to watch over the holiday season. This usually gives good insights into the upcoming LPL season and how teams look together... granted without too much practice time together, but we love the LPL for their chaos.
