After an immensely successful season for competitive League of Legends, we can’t wait what’s in store for 2023. Accordingly, in this episode of ‘Esports Road Map’, we’ll be taking a look at what’s coming in the next season – it’s looking very exciting!

Kicking things off, League of Legends next year will look to continue developing and enjoying competition in its Major Regions:
- LPL – China
- LEC – Europe

All of these franchised leagues continue to grow more successful, especially the LCK.
In addition, there are also the following minor regions which will enjoy further competition:
- CBLOL

- VCS
- PCS
- LCO
Now that we know the regions, let’s see how the competition will split.
LoL 2023 Esports Road Map – Two or Three Splits
The format for the coming year is rather simple.
Firstly, teams will compete in their regions in the Spring Split, hoping to earn enough points to qualify for the first international event – the Mid-Seasonal Invitational.
As of right now, dates have not been made official. However, one thing we will point out is that the LEC will be experimenting with a three split system – Winter, Spring and Summer.
Anyways, after the MSI, teams will continue regional competition through the Summer Split, this time attempting to qualify for Worlds 2023. Ending the season with a bang, Worlds will crown another champion.
Worlds and MSI 2023 – Format Changes?
Do note that apart from LEC switching up the format a little, Riot Games does plan to make changes to Worlds and MSI.
Specifically, there have been rumours that a double elimination bracket may be tried after the competition expressing its desire to step away from the single elimination bracket.
Regardless of what they try, LoL will continue to be one of the top esports in the world – 2023 could be incredible!
