The opening moves, battles, and heartbreak for the 2023 League of Legends World Championship are being played out in the Play-Ins stage at LoL Arena in Seoul this week.

Following Team BDS’ rapid demolition of LCS hopefuls Golden Guardians in the curtain raiser on Monday, the Worlds 2023 campaign has now begun in earnest for eight challengers, including GAM Esports, PSG Talon, LOUD, and plenty more.

Over six days, the first eight teams up to the mark will battle for just two spots in the next stage, the illustrious and very star-studded Main Event Swiss stage. Teams begin with best-of-three action on Tuesday and Wednesday before moving to do-or-die lower bracket clashes midway through the week before it all culminates in two best-of-five qualifying matches.

It’s all very exciting, and of course, you have to keep up with all the action.
