Worlds 2023 first-timers and rookies to watch

Every fan of competitive League of Legends likely has their alarms and notifications set because the most essential part of the season is ahead of us. The 2023 World Championship is scheduled to begin on Oct. 10 (a day earlier if you count the Worlds Qualification Series), and we couldn’t be more excited. 

The tournament is known for bringing us exciting storylines each year. Favorites can dominate or disappoint early, whereas dark horses may pull off an ace or two out of their sleeves and make a deep run. Renowned pros can prove themselves, while fresh faces can carve their name in the history books on the biggest stage.
