LoL Esports has just announced what’s in store for Season 2023.
Riot Games has also announced a new change to the number of competitors for both international tournaments.
The LPL, LEC, and LCS will now have two slots each at MSI.
These eight teams will be divided into two groups of four to compete in best-of-three double-elimination matches.
The winners from each group will move to the Bracket Stage.
They will also be joined by the winner from the lower bracket last-chance qualification match.
In the Bracket Stage, we will get to see eight teams face off in a double-elimination best-of-five format.
As for Worlds 2023, it will be heading back to South Korea after five long years.
To make matters even better, Worlds 2023 will feature a brand-new format.
But before we even get to that, Worlds 2023 will also be introducing the Worlds Qualifying Series.
It will feature a best-of-five series between the fourth seed from the LEC and the LCS.
The winner of the WQS will join the other 21 teams at the world championship in Korea.
However, if you incur three losses during the Swiss Stage, you will be eliminated.
This will feature four quarterfinal matches to go with two semifinal games before the grand finals clash.
All matches will be played in a best-of-five format.
