Schedule and Stakes
The Summer Split is more important than ever this year as it will determine which teams will move on to the World Championship, the pinnacle event of the year. The 10 LEC teams will battle it out in the regular season and group stage of the Summer Split, aiming to secure their spot in the roadshow that will bring the competition outside of Berlin.
Opening Week Matches
The excitement begins on June 17 with the opening day featuring matches between the top four teams from the Spring Split. Although fans will have to wait for later weeks to see a finals rematch, the defending champions, MAD Lions, will face tough opponents like Vitality, G2, and KOI in the first three days of the regular season.
Challenging the Rankings
Excel and Team Heretics, currently lower in the rankings, will have the opportunity to prove themselves in the EMEA competition. While Heretics showed glimpses of potential, Excel is yet to make a strong push for the title.
An Exciting Season Ahead
The first weekend of the 2023 LEC Summer Split promises thrilling matches between top-performing teams and opportunities for redemption for those who have yet to showcase their full potential. This season’s format changes remind fans that the battle for the crown is wide open, and no team can be underestimated.
