Riot Games has named Ground Zero Gaming as the guest team competing in the 2026 League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) season.
The Australian esports organisation is one of five teams that have earned a guest slot in the region’s highest tier of League of Legends esports.
Unveiled on December 22nd, Ground Zero Gaming fills the empty slot left by the departure of TALON Esports, which was removed from the league due to recent financial issues affecting its business operations.
Riot Games revealed that it prioritised ‘maintaining a balance between regional representation and competitive strength’ while reviewing several applications.
