The Elimination of GAM Esports from the League of Legends World Championship
GAM Esports has been eliminated from the 2023 League of Legends World Championship, paving the way for major region powerhouses to compete for the Summoner’s Cup.

Watch the match highlights here.
The Dominance of Dplus KIA
Dplus KIA entered the match as the heavy favorite and lived up to expectations from the first few minutes on the Rift. In the first game, GAM drafted a strong team composition, but it was the bot lane match between the hyper-carriers that set the tone for the match.
Deft secured the first blood for Dplus KIA within the first few minutes, and from there, the VCS representatives found themselves on a downward spiral. Within 27 minutes, Dplus KIA conquered four dragons, 10 kills, and the enemy’s base without letting GAM score more than a single kill.
The second game had a more balanced early phase with GAM making proactive attempts to counter Dplus’ plays. However, their efforts ultimately proved insufficient to halt the Korean team, resulting in a surprising 25-minute victory for Dplus KIA.
The Road Ahead for Major Region Powerhouses
GAM’s exit from Worlds 2023 marks the end of the road for the last minor region team in the tournament. The competition now solely consists of teams from the four major regions: LCK, LPL, LEC, and LCS.
The stage is now set for a fierce battle among the giants as they continue their climb towards the coveted 2023 World Championship title. Fans around the world are on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting to see which major region will emerge victorious.
