‘It’s too good for the game’: LEC players and coaches want Fearless Draft in every Split

The LEC 2025 Winter Split Playoff stage is underway, and the first few weeks of Fearless Draft have shown just how fun this format can be. With unpredictable drafts, deeper champion pools, and dynamic strategies on display, fans are simply entertained—but they’re not the only ones.
Fearless Draft is a unique drafting format in competitive League of Legends that prevents teams from selecting the same champions in consecutive games in the same match. This forces players and coaches to continuously adapt their strategies, showcasing greater flexibility and deeper champion pools. In the EMEA region, Fearless Draft was introduced this year and just for Winter Split’s Playoffs. However, players and coaches argue that its short-lived presence has not allowed it to reach its full potential in shaping the competition for both teams and fans.
