Hometown advantage: Worlds 2023 will be hosted by the two-time defending champions

To kick off the new year, Riot Games has finally unveiled the location of the 2023 League of Legends World Championship, and anyone rooting for a Korean three-peat will be happy to know that the tournament is coming back to South Korea.

The last time that Worlds was hosted in Korea was back in 2018 when Invictus Gaming swept Fnatic to capture the Summoner’s Cup. They even had the event span across multiple venues across the country, with the play-in stage held in Seoul, the group stage and quarterfinals in Busan, the semifinals in Gwangju, and the finals in Incheon.
