After missing the World Championship for the first time in four years last fall, Team Liquid reconfigured its entire approach to League of Legends esports.
Opting to go with a 2023 LCS roster that would prioritize communication in Korean over English, Liquid doubled the number of world champions on its roster by pairing star support Jo “CoreJJ” Yong-in with newly acquired jungler Hong “Pyosik” Chang-hyeon, the latter of whom had just won Worlds 2022 with DRX. A pair of talents from Team Liquid Academy, mid laner Harry “Haeri” Kang and AD carry Sean “Yeon” Sung, were promoted to the LCS roster as well.
