There will be another UK Masters League of Legends split this summer, Multiplay has revealed.
The official UK Masters Twitter account tweeted this out today:

CSGO will return too of course.
Multiplay just focused on CSGO for Spring 2017, dropping League and Hearthstone.
Other details – such as prize pool and dates – have not yet been revealed.
Esports News UK understands there will be a longer runway for teams to sign up this season, and hopefully that will allow more teams to form up for the qualifiers.
Last year, not many teams initially signed up for the £20,000 UK Masters LoL tournament, prompting Riot meme master Ben “Draggles” Forbes to tweet the following:
