The world's premier professional League of Legends championship returns with the LCS Spring 2023 split. The home of LCS Spring 2023 will be LoL PARK Arena in Seoul.
The South Korean League of Legends retains its usual aspects: LCS Spring 2023 is split into two stages, the number of competitors remains unchanged, and the two most successful will advance to the Mid-Season Invitational 2023. The appeal of the LCS Spring Split is the presence of top teams on the roster.
Worlds 2022 champions and the two runners-up from last year's T1 World Championship will be among the great candidates for the LCS Spring 2023 title. Together with eight other top clubs, they will draw $287,000 over 3 months.
