The 2023 LPL season was the 11th season of the League of Legends Pro League (LPL), a Chinese professional esports league for the video game League of Legends. The season was divided into two splits: Spring and Summer. The Spring Split began on January 14, 2023, and culminated with the Spring Split Finals on April 15, 2023. The Summer Split began on May 29, 2023, and culminated with the LCS Championship Final on August 5, 2023.

JD Gaming won the Spring Split playoffs, directly qualifying them for the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), while Bilibili Gaming finished as the runners-up, qualifying them for the MSI play-in stage. JD Gaming also won the Summer Split playoffs, earning a direct qualification to the 2023 World Championship. Bilibili Gaming qualified for the 2023 World Championship via Championship Points, and both LNG Esports and Weibo Gaming also qualified for the 2023 World Championship through the Regional Finals.

Spring

[edit]

The Spring Split regular season ran from January 14 to March 25, 2023. The 17 teams competed in a single round-robin tournament, where all matches were best-of-three. The top 10 teams from the regular season secured spots in the playoffs. The top two teams automatically progressed to a four-team double-elimination tournament. Meanwhile, the next six teams competed in a single-elimination king-of-the-hill tournament, with the top two teams advancing to join the initial top two in the four-team double-elimination tournament.[1] The top two teams from the Spring Split playoffs qualified for the 2023 Mid-Season Invitational.[2]

Regional Finals

[edit]

The Regional Finals was a tournament consisting of the top four teams in the LPL based on championship points that had not directly qualified for the 2023 World Championship. The top two teams faced off, and the winner earned a spot in the World Championship. Simultaneously, the bottom two teams played against each other, with the losing team being eliminated. The remaining two teams then competed for the last LPL spot in the 2023 World Championship.[3]
