LCO Split 1 2023 is finally here. Oceania’s best and brightest League reps will battle it out on the Rift once more, but plenty has changed; new faces, a new format and a new end goal — the PCS playoffs. Who will carry the OCE torch forward?
- Q-Clash reaches peak levels as Bliss, Chiefs battle for PCS spot
- DW send Pentanet packing
- LCO Stage 3 resumes tonight
Four became three last night, with the Dire Wolves keeping their PCS and MSI hopes alive with a 2-0 win over Pentanet.
Pentanet will finish the split in fourth place, with their ability to adapt over the course of the split and their decision to commit to PCS scrims over the LCO questioned.
Nevertheless, only two best-of-five series remain for the split, and tonight’s head-to-head is a doozy.
For the umpteenth time this split, The Chiefs and Team Bliss will battle on the Rift — but with a PCS spot guaranteed to tonight’s winner, the stakes are higher than ever.
For the loser, it’s not all doom and gloom, but the Wolfpack await in the last chance qualifier on Thursday night.
Tickets for the one-day LCO showcase at DreamHack Melbourne are on sale here.

LCO Split 1 2023 Schedule & Results
Split 1 of LCO 2023 features a brand new five week format. Stage One will see each team will play a best-of-three against one another via round robin.
Based upon Stage One results, Stage two sees each team seeded into two groups and play out a best-of-three double-elimination bracket. For the two emerging squads in each group, they’ll move to Stage Three — the other two will be eliminated.
Stage Three will see one final double-elimination bracket, with the top two booking their tickets to the PCS playoffs, and potentially beyond to London’s Mid-Season Invitational.

LCO Split 1 2023 Rosters
Reigning LCO champions Chiefs will be out to defend their crown, but have undergone significant changes since their Mexico outing late last year.
Both Raes & Aladoric return as the team’s bot lane duo, with coach Babip steps back into the starting line-up as the team’s jungler. Former Order frontman BioPanther makes a return to the LCO with Chiefs after Order’s dissolution in 2022.
Bliss and Ground Zero make their grand entrance to the LCO with a combination of youth and experience. Meanwhile, Mammoth have built around the 2022 Gravitas core, with Ch1Chi debuting in the LCO as the team’s top laner.
