With the start of a new year comes a blank canvas, a fresh start for us all, from the World Champions to those climbing ranked. With this journey in mind, LoL Esports is excited to announce a brand new competitive event: Season Kickoff!
For the first time, we will celebrate the start of the League of Legends ranked season and the LoL Esports season together. From January 10-11, 2023, the LCS, LEC, LCK, LPL, LJL, CBLOL, LLA, PCS, and VCS will host a special two-day broadcasted event previewing the 2023 season and highlighting players to watch, giving fans a first look at Season 2023 on the Rift, and a peek at what’s in store for LoL Esports. More information about the event format and schedule will be released soon.
The Kickoff event will replace the League of Legends All-Star Event. While All-Stars has provided players and fans with countless special moments over the years, the current calendar can be challenging for many All-Star players. Replacing All-Stars with the Season Kickoff event will ultimately provide a much-deserved break for pro players and an exciting new platform for fans that will supplement the end-of-year local competitions and celebrations that regions typically hold during this period.
