With the completion of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational, teams from around the world are now aiming to secure a spot in the 2023 Worlds championship in Korea. This November, the battle for glory will be intense as teams compete for valuable seeds.
To determine the best teams in the world, we have examined the results and gameplays of this season. Here are the top 10 League of Legends teams in 2023.
1. JD Gaming
With an impressive roster that includes players like Ruler and Knight, JDG has been dominating the League of Legends scene this year. They have already claimed victory in the LPL Spring championship and the MSI title. With a win rate of 78% across 63 matches, they are a force to be reckoned with.
2. BiliBili Gaming
Despite being seen as underdogs, BLG surprised everyone by making it to MSI. Led by top laner Bin and ADC Elk, they showcased their individual talents and proved their worth. While they fell short against JD Gaming, BLG should be proud of their achievements and continue to strive for success in the LPL Summer Split.
3. T1
T1 showed their dominance in the Korean region during international tournaments. However, they struggled at MSI and faced challenges from the Chinese teams. While they have the potential to excel, T1 needs to work on their performance in crucial moments.
4. Gen.G
As the first seed from the LCK, Gen.G had high expectations going into MSI. However, they were unable to replicate their success on the international stage. Their roster has some weaknesses, especially in the top side of the map, which they need to address.
5. EDward Gaming
Despite their unexpected loss in the LPL Spring Playoffs, EDward Gaming has great potential. With players like Leave and a lineup of veterans, they have the talent and experience to be strong contenders in the LPL Summer Split.
6. Weibo Gaming
Weibo Gaming has assembled a strong roster, including players like TheShy, Xiaohu, and Karsa. With the addition of coach Daeny, they have the potential to be a top team. However, it remains to be seen if the coaching change will have a positive impact.
7. G2 Esports
G2 Esports proved themselves as the best Western team at MSI. Their top laner, Yike, exceeded expectations and showcased his skills. With the potential to raise the bar even higher, G2 is the West’s best chance for a strong international result.
8. Cloud9
Cloud9 showed promise at MSI but fell short against Gen.G. Despite the gap between Western and Eastern teams, Cloud9 has players like Berserker and EMEN3S who have shown their talent. With improvement in positioning and setup, they have the potential to achieve better results.
9. KT Rolster
KT Rolster had a strong performance in the LCK Spring Split, pushing T1 to a five-game series. Their roster is stacked with top-tier players, but they need to work on consistency to reach their full potential.
10. MAD Lions
Despite their victory in the LEC Spring Split, MAD Lions struggled at MSI. They need to address weaknesses in their gameplay and decide whether to focus on improving their mid-jungle coordination or giving more agency to the side lanes. With a good foundation, MAD Lions have the potential to improve over the summer.
