Riot Games

The 2023 LoL World Championship (Worlds 2023) is fast approaching, and all teams other than Worlds Qualification Series winners have been locked in. Here’s every team that’s going to South Korea.

Worlds 2023 marks the return of LoL’s biggest competition to South Korea for the first time since 2018, when Invictus Gaming won the title over Fnatic in dominant fashion. The tournament will take place between October 10 and November 19 across four locations in Seoul and Busan.

Worlds 2023 will feature 22 teams from nine regions, with the LPL and the LCK being the only regions with a guaranteed four-strong contingent. Riot Games has introduced a number of changes to the format, most notably replacing the round-robin group stage with a Swiss stage.

Despite PSG Talon leading the series 2-0, BDS pulled out a reverse sweep win and managed to stay in the competition. Team BDS has had one hell of a road to get to where they are, and things only get harder from here. Not to mention, the Swiss schedule has pitted Team BDS against JDG, arguably the best team in the world, on the very first day of competition.

Below is a full list of teams that qualified for Worlds 2023, with the teams who have since been knocked out being struck through upon elimination.
