The LPL is the first major League of Legends region to kick off its 2023 Summer Split with a May 29 start date. That’s under a week until China’s best head back to Summoner’s Rift in search of a new champion. With the LPL currently hosting both the MSI runners-up Bilibili Gaming and newly crowned champions JD Gaming, the level of competition in China will be at an all-time high.
There is still time for midseason additions, though. That’s led to LNG adding former MSI MVP AD carry Chen “GALA” Wei to its squad, the team announced earlier today.
