League of Legends LCK 2023 Summer Split: Playoffs Stage Round 1 schedule

The third-placed team in the LCK 2023 Summer Regular Season can choose their opponent for the Playoffs. As a result, Hanwha Life Esports have chosen DRX to play in the first round.

The schedule for the upcoming Playoffs' games has been provided in the table below:

Round 1:

#	Match	Date	Time
1	Hanwha Life Esports vs DRX	August 8, 2023	1 am PST/1:30 pm IST
2	Dplus KIA vs T1	August 9, 2023	1 am PST/1:30 pm IST

Importantly, these games will be played in a best-of-five series, and the loser will be eliminated. The winners will advance to round 2, facing KT Rolster and Gen.G Esports. However, as KT finished the Regular Season in the top spot, they will have the option to choose their opponent; the other team will face Gen.G.

T1, on the other hand, despite having a tough Regular Season, are now looking their absolute best after Faker's comeback. Naturally, that's why Hanwha Life Esports avoided them in the first match.

The matchups are pretty crucial as the winner of the split will qualify for the League of Legends Worlds. Additionally, the teams with the most championship points will also qualify for the LCK Regional Finals to compete for additional spots at Worlds 2023.
