The Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) will consist of two arrays of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) at the northern and southern hemispheres. CTA will feature IACTs with mirrors of three different sizes optimized to cover different energy ranges. The pro- posed sub-arrays of four Large Size Telescopes (LST) at CTA-North and CTA-South target the lowest energy range between around 20 GeV and 100 GeV. Thanks to their low weight of around 110 tons the LSTs can move by 180 deg in azimuth in 20 seconds for Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) follow-up.
