In League of Legends the Worlds 2023 will begin in October. Four strong Midlaners, who have claimed almost all World Championship spots in South Korea since 2019, are once again ready to compete this year.
When do the League of Legends Worlds start? The League of Legends Worlds 2023 are scheduled for October 10 and mark the start of what is probably the largest and most exciting event in the League of Legends calendar.
This year, South Korea will once again send four feared Midlaners to the World Championship. Since 2019, these four players have claimed almost every World Championship spot in Korea, and they are at the center of attention.
Here you can listen to the popular Worlds song “Rise” to get in the mood:
At 18 occasions, 4 players occupied the Midlane 17 times
Which Midlaners are meant?
The prominent Midlaners you can look forward to are:
- Showmaker (Dplus KIA)
- Bdd (KT Rolster)
- Chovy (Gen. G)
- Faker (T1)
Their names have become synonymous with excellent Midlane performance, not only in South Korea but worldwide. These four Midlaners will surely provide some spectacular moments and decisive plays at the Worlds 2023.
Of the 18 teams that sent LCK representatives to the World Championship in the last five seasons, 17 had one of these top Midlaners in their starting lineup. This impressive dominance speaks volumes about the quality and consistency of these players.
However, there was a notable exception: Zeka, who represented DRX as their starting Midlaner in 2022. Zeka became known for his outstanding performances in the group stage, quarter-finals, and semi-finals, significantly contributing to DRX’s impressive run in the tournament: DRX spectacularly won the Worlds against T1 and Faker in 2022.
But in 2023, the legendary Midlaners Faker, Showmaker, Bdd, and Chovy are once again in focus. It is fitting that the tournament will take place in Korea for the first time since 2018.
The Worlds 2023 mark the return of the biggest competition in League of Legends to South Korea. The last time South Korea hosted, the World Championship took place in 2018, where Invictus Gaming (China) won the title against Fnatic (Europe).
This year, the tournament runs from October 10 to November 19 and will be held at four different locations in Seoul and Busan.
