Since Invictus Gaming won the first-ever Chinese global championships in 2018, Worlds will return to South Korea this year. This year's League of Legends championship looks drastically different thanks to Riot Games' approval of a number of format modifications, including the addition of best-of-threes, a Swiss-style stage, and more bracket-based play. While other regions are still in the process of conducting the final rounds, from LPL JD Gaming earned a spot at Worlds by winning the 2023 LPL Summer Split, and Bilibili Gaming secured a spot as China's second seed by accruing an incredible 150 championship points during the year.
LNG Esports defeated Weibo Gaming in the 2023 LPL Regional Finals thanks to the trio of Scout, Gala, and Tarzan, however, both teams qualified for Worlds thanks to their commendable season-long performances.
