This year, it took most LEC participants a while to get used to the new three-split format. Still, for the MAD Lions, who just finished another strong season in 2022, it provided additional opportunities to prove why they have excelled in the region since their debut.
The league's veteran professional team adapted to the change almost immediately, reaching the finals of the winter playoffs and returning for its spring counterpart, where they once again tasted victory. But instead of giving the team a momentum boost, the taste of success with a trip to MSI appeared to take its toll. Thankfully, MAD stood strong in the season finale, but the team's performance's drastic shakiness and the shorter preparation period for Worlds compared to other regions make us question whether the team is truly ready to step onto the international stage again.
The starting match of the world group stage showed that the European Lions are not ready to beat even C9 and play very shyly on the server as if they are afraid of something.
Team BDS
For those who don't regularly follow the LEC events or just limit themselves to watching competitive LoL only during Worlds, the appearance of Team BDS at the year's main tournament may come as a bit of a surprise. Still, this team certainly managed to earn it. After an almost complete rebuild of the roster from the previous year, when the Swiss-French organization made its first appearance in the LEC, and thanks to the reinstatement of ADC Crownie's career, Team BDS has become a new force in the region, quickly adapting to the new segmented format.
However, the Europeans struggled in the first round of World Championship qualifying even to make it to the play-in stage. They faced the fourth LCS team in the qualification series, Golden Guardians. This game was a real test for a team with minimal international experience, but what they showed against the Americans was admirable! The debutants on the world stage simply crushed GG with a score of 3:0, choosing even not-quite-ordinary and popular characters. Garen's choice may bring a smile to many people's faces, but the way Adam played it is worth revisiting again and again. And the GODS characters for the same adam were able to turn the final of the play-in stage when the Europeans came back from 0:2 down in a battle with PSG Talon.
