Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends

The Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL, lit. Brazilian Championship of League of Legends) was the top level of professional League of Legends competition in Brazil. There were anywhere from eight to ten teams in the league. Each annual season of play was divided into two splits, marked Split 1 and Split 2, both consisting of eighteen rounds of round-robin tournament play, which then concluded with play-off tournaments between the top six teams. The winners of each split qualified for the Mid-Season Invitational and World Championship respectively.^[1]

CBLOL would merge with North America's LCS and Latin America's Liga Latinoamérica to form the League of Legends Championship of The Americas in 2025, with CBLOL becoming the South Conference.

The matches were held from 2015 to 2024 at Riot studios in São Paulo and broadcast via livestream, with an audience. For the finals in the second split, the matches were held in arenas like Allianz Parque, and are attended by narrators, commentators, analysts and presenters.^[2] In addition to full broadcasting on official YouTube channels, Twitch, CBLOL had also been playing live games on SporTV since 2017, with the same coverage as Riot.^[3]

The tournament had been organized since 2012, shortly after the debut of the Brazilian server, with professionalism still incipient, when it was held in just three days. In 2014, the first league championship was held: the Brazilian League - Champions Series, and in the same year the precedent of two annual competitions was inaugurated, with the holding of the Brazilian Regional Final. After that, the two-splits format was adopted, with each one played in the first phase in the "all against all" format, and later knockout until the grand finale.^[4][5] Also in 2015 the league format with stable members was adopted, but subject to lowering and promotion of the worst placed to benefit the best of the Challenging Circuit.^[6][7] Until 2014, a qualifying phase for the championship dispute was adopted.^[8]

On 21 January 2020, Riot Brazil confirmed that CBLOL moved to franchising.^[9]

On 11 June 2024, Riot announced that CBLOL, LCS and LLA would form a pan-American league, the League of Legends Championship of The Americas from 2025. Six of the ten CBLOL teams will remain partnered and form the South Conference, joined by a team from southern Latin America and a TBA guest slot determined by a promotion and relegation tournament after 2025. CBLOL will adopt a first split which qualifies a team from the pan-American league for a new international tournament. Also the third split would lead to the Americas regional tournament which would send at least one team from the South to Worlds.^[10][11]
