LEC Winter 2023: Teams & players

The LEC has seen significant changes in the offseason. Along with the format changes, two new teams joined the league for 2023, KOI and Team Heretics.

Many teams turned their rosters inside out for the new competitive calendar in hopes of reaching greater heights in 2023. Fnatic revamped their bot lane, re-signing Martin ‘Rekkles’ Larsson and promoting academy support Rúben ‘rhuckz’ Barbosa, and so did G2 Esports, who, in addition to picking up Steven ‘Hans sama’ Liv and bringing Mihael ‘Mikyx’ Mehle back, snared rookie jungler Martin ‘Yike’ Sundelin.

Meanwhile, Vitality, after the collapse of their ‘super team’, built almost an entirely new roster, which will revolve around jungler Zhou ‘Bo’ Yangbo. He is one of the imports that LEC fans are excited to see in action, along with Heretics’ Japanese top laner Shunsuke “Evi” Murase, formerly of Detonation FocusMe.
