How Split 3 works for IG
- Twelve teams are split by Split 2 standings into the eight-team Ascend group and the four-team Nirvana group: IG, LNG, Ninjas in Pyjamas (NIP) and Weibo Gaming.
- Inside the Nirvana group, teams play a double round robin of best-of-threes — six matches each — under Hard Fearless Draft rules.
- The top two Nirvana teams advanced to the Knights' Road: single-elimination best-of-fives against the Ascend group's bottom two. On August 28, IG beat TT 3–0 and NIP beat EDG 3–0 — both Nirvana teams reached the Grand Finals.
- Split 3 ran July 22 to August 23 on a five-city tour (Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Suzhou, Xi'an). Matches used the LPL's usual 3:00/5:00/7:00 PM Beijing slots.
- The Grand Finals ran from August 29 to September 12. IG beat Top Esports 3–2, Team WE 3–1 and LGD 3–0 before losing 2–3 to Anyone's Legend. In the September 17–19 Regional Qualifier, IG lost 1–3 to TES and then beat JDG 3–1.
