The schedule for the 2016 EU LCS Summer Split has been released, and the split will start with a finals rematch between G2 Esports and Origen on June 2.

FC Schalke 04 will make their EU LCS debut in the following match when they face the Unicorns of Love. That match will be followed by Fnatic's series against Giants.

The Summer Split will also feature games that run simultaneously on two separate streams. The second stream will feature H2K vs. ROCCAT, and then Splyce vs. Vitality.

Games will mostly fall on Thursday and Friday each week, although Week 6 will have games on Friday and Saturday and Week 9 will play out on Saturday and Sunday instead.

Another addition to the split is the new, best-of-two format that Riot explained is an attempt to address some of the drawbacks of their previous best-of-one format, "namely the overall low amount of games played in the regular season and the lack of opportunity to strategically adapt to an opponent after a loss."

The single-elimination, best-of-five EU LCS Summer Playoff quarterfinals are scheduled to start on August 13.
