The League of Legends LEC 2023 Winter Split is set to begin on January 21, 2023. This is the very first time that the Winter Split is being conducted in this manner, as January previously marked the beginning of the Spring Split.

However, as of 2023, the Splits have been shortened and now include the Winter Split, Spring Split, and the Summer Split. Ultimately, there will be a Grand Final, where the winners of the three Splits and three other top teams will compete for the trophy of the LEC champion.

• G2 Esports
• Fnatic
• Team Vitality
• KOI Rogue
• SK Gaming
• Heretics
• Astralis
• Team EXCEL
• Team BDS
• MAD Lions

Amongst these, Heretics is the team that's replacing Misfits Gaming, while KOI has merged with Rogue to form a brand new organization. Furthermore, the rosters for all of these teams have been changed, although a few teams are yet to provide official confirmation for their rosters.

In any case, it's now time to move onto the schedule for Weeks 1 and 2. As of League of Legends LEC 2023 Winter Split, the games will be held on Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays. Interestingly, Friday has been scrapped as a game day, and this is part of the new schedule that will apply for the entire year.

Hence, it's safe to say that Week 1 and 2 will have some really interesting matches across the board. At the same time, it's vital to understand that, since the duration of the Splits have been reduced, team performances across the two weeks of Splits are of greater importance.

Teams will need to deliver solid performances right from the first day, or else they may miss out on a playoff slot and the chance to participate in the Grand Final, which will be held later in 2023.
