We look at the opening weekend of the final major League of Legends league to start. (3:23)

The League of Legends Championship Series will be headed to St. Louis, Missouri, on April 13 for the LCS Spring Split Finals, Riot Games announced on Saturday.

North America's top two teams from the split will battle it out at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis, a 10,000-plus seat venue that is home to St. Louis University's men's and women's basketball teams. The LCS finalists will face off for a chance to represent the region at the 2019 Mid-Season Invitational. Dates and a venue for MSI have yet to be released.

Riot Games expects an approximate capacity of 8,500 for the spring finals after production and technical setup. Tickets will be available for purchase starting Feb. 25,. and the majority will be sold as general admission tickets rather than assigned seating, like in past LCS finals.

St Louis is home to one of the first Riot Games offices outside of their Los Angeles headquarters. Nearby Maryville University has also been at the forefront of collegiate League of Legends competitions.

"​We're excited to bring the LCS​ to new cities around North America. We can't wait to head back to the Midwest and to welcome League of Legends fans to celebrate the conclusion of the Spring Split together," said Chris "Chopper" Hopper, the Head of Esports for North America at Riot Games. "It's especially fun to bring our show to St. Louis, which has been such a welcoming community since the start of the company, and to be able to host Rioters from our St. Louis office and their friends and family at the event."

Unlike previous spring finals events, there will be no third/fourth place match. According to Riot Games, the third/fourth place match has been eliminated from LCS competition in spring and will only take place during the summer split. Riot Games has yet to determine whether the third/fourth place match for summer will be played at the summer finals or the regional qualifier for the 2019 League of Legends World Championship.

This will be the first time that a major LoL event has been held in the Midwest since the Chicago Theatre hosted the 2016 League of Legends World Championship quarterfinals.
