LCS Summer 2023: Results, schedule, rosters and more

LCS Summer 2023 is finally underway, with ten teams vying for the NA crown and spots at Worlds. Here is everything you need to know about the league.

With MSI 2023 done and dusted, regional League of Legends competition is back all over the world. In North America, however, things were not simple: it wouldn’t be the LCS without a little bit of drama, and the Summer split was under threat for two weeks after the members of the LCS Players Association (LCSPA) “overwhelmingly” voted in favor of a walkout.

In response to that collective action, Riot Games decided to postpone the starting date of the Summer split by two weeks. On June 9, Riot and the LCSPA announced that they had agreed on terms to resume the LCS season on June 14.

One of the biggest talking points about this LCS Summer Split is the addition of NRG, who replace CLG in the league. After a seven-year absence, NRG are back in NA’s top League of Legends competition, hoping to find the same kind of success that CLG enjoyed in the mid-2010s.

Here are all the details you need to know about LCS Summer 2023, including all the latest results, the full schedule, and the rosters.

LCS Summer 2023: Schedule and results

The summer season was initially scheduled to begin on June 1, but Riot Games decided to postpone the starting date by two weeks because of the LCS player walkout.

Because of the delay, the regular season will take place over six weeks, with matches being played on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

The top eight teams during the regular season will qualify for the LCS playoffs. The top two teams will be seeded into the second round of the upper bracket, while the teams ranked third through sixth will be placed in the first round. The seventh and eighth-placed teams will have to battle their way through the lower bracket.

The LCS Championship will take place on August 19-20 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Tickets will go on sale on June 14 at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET for Mastercard holders. General sale tickets will be released a day later.

The top three teams of the Summer split will qualify for the 2023 World Championship, while the fourth-placed side will have to play the Worlds Wildcard Qualifier.

LCS Summer 2023: Teams and rosters

The first two weeks of play have drastically shifted the power rankings, with EG’s new roster looking like an improvement over the previous one while FlyQuest languishes in last place. There have been a lot of substitutions and delays when it comes to teams fully building their rosters, but it seems that most of the chaos of the first two weeks has been sorted out.

However, TSM choosing to swap Insanity out for Ruby has been a controversial decision among fans. His consistently strong play with the team has surprised many, and Ruby will have to really stand out from the crowd if he wants to hold on to his spot.

100 Thieves’ fans will be curious to see how the team’s new mid laner, Lim ‘Quid’ Hyeon-seung, will perform. The Korean player, who came through Gen.G’s academy system, has big shoes to fill as he replaces Søren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg, who retired after the end of the Spring split.

That wasn’t the only change in the 100 Thieves camp, though, as the team also announced the return of top laner Kim ‘Ssumday’ Chan-ho after a split with Evil Geniuses.

On May 19, FlyQuest announced one change to their roster from the Spring Split with the signing of former Evil Geniuses player Philippe ‘Vulcan’ Laflamme as their starting support.
