Step into the scorching heat of Summer 2023 as the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) prepares to ignite the competitive scene once again. With the sun casting its radiant glow, the biggest stars of the league are ready to shine alongside it.
From the thriving metropolis of London in the United Kingdom, two formidable teams, Gen.G and T1, emerge triumphantly, carrying with them the invaluable experience gained from the international stage of the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI). Outperforming European and North American powerhouses, Gen.G secured a commendable fourth place, while T1 claimed an impressive third place.
As the stage is set for the upcoming season, a burning question arises: how will these dominant forces fare against their eight formidable counterparts within the LCK?
