LCS Spring 2023: Results, schedule & how to watch

LCS Spring 2023 is here, with ten North American League of Legends teams battling for the region’s crown and a spot at the Mid-Season Invitational. Here’s everything you need to know about the league.

After an eventful off-season with plenty of roster shuffles, some more surprising than others, NA’s premier League of Legends competition is back. This time around, there was no pre-season Lock In tournament to whet the appetite of LCS fans before the start of the season. Instead, Riot Games organized a Kickoff showmatch in each region, with the LCS clash pitting team ‘Boomers’ against team ‘Zoomers’.

For many, 2023 will be a crucial year for the future of the LCS. After a rough year with the lowest viewership in recent history, Riot Games shifted the LCS’s match days to Thursdays and Fridays (extending to Wednesdays during Super Weeks), initially with a start time of 12 PM PT / 3 PM ET. Following community backlash, Riot changed the schedule so that the broadcast will start two hours later on Thursdays and Fridays (2 PM PT/5 PM ET).

Here are all the details you need to know about LCS Spring 2023, including the competition’s start date, lineups, results, standings, & more.

LCS Spring 2023: Teams & players

There were quick a few interesting storylines to keep track of during the off-season as most LCS teams overhauled their rosters ahead of the 2023 season. Team Liquid’s acquisition of 2022 Worlds winner Hong ‘Pyosik’ Chang-hyeon to finalise a Korean-speaking roster and 100 Thieves’ signing of veterans Søren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg and Yiliang ‘Doublelift’ Peng were among the most discussed moves during the off-season.
