After a mid-season break, LCS Summer 2023 is about to start, with ten teams vying for the NA crown and spots at Worlds. Here is everything you need to know about the league.
With Golden Guardians and Cloud9 out of MSI 2023, North American League of Legends fans are starting to turn their attention toward the LCS Summer, which is just two weeks away. The Riot Games Arena, in Los Angeles, will host the majority of the summer split, which will culminate in the LCS Championship in Newark with the top three teams.
One of the biggest talking points about this LCS Summer Split is the addition of NRG, who replace CLG in the league. After a seven-year absence, NRG is back in NA’s top League of Legends competition, hoping to find the same kind of success that CLG enjoyed in the mid-2010s.
Here are all the details you need to know about LCS Summer 2023, including the competition’s start date, all the lineups and the streaming options that are available.

LCS Summer 2023: Teams and rosters
With only two weeks left until the start of the Summer Split, question marks are still hanging over a couple of teams. Evil Geniuses, for example, have yet to announce their roster after parting ways with every player except Joseph ‘Jojopyun’ Pyun as part of a major overhaul.
100 Thieves’ fans will be curious to see how the team’s new mid laner, Lim ‘Quid’ Hyeon-seung, will perform. The Korean player, who came through Gen.G’s academy system, has big shoes to fill as he replaces Søren ‘Bjergsen’ Bjerg, who retired after the end of the Spring split.
That wasn’t the only change in the 100 Thieves camp, though, as the team also announced the return of top laner Kim ‘Ssumday’ Chan-ho after a split with Evil Geniuses.
