League Championship Series 2023 Summer

Lua error in Module:Infobox/League/Custom at line 66: attempt to index local 'args' (a nil value). League Championship Series 2023 Summer (LCS 2023 Summer) is the thirteenth season of the top level North American (and Oceanian) League of Legends league. Where ten teams compete for the three direct invite slots and for one Wildcard Qualifier slot to the 2023 World Championships.

Following the changes to the North American Challengers League, which saw a lift on the requirement of Challengers teams for LCS franchises, the LCSPA (LCS Player Association) announced a walk-out vote. They revealed on May 28th that the vote had received an overwhelming majority.^[1] On May 30th, it was announced that the LCS will be delayed by two weeks, from its original start date of June 1st to June 15th.^[2]
