The 2023 LEC Winter Split might have just started a few weeks ago, but fans and teams alike might want to start preparing for some postseason League of Legends when the group stage begins on Feb. 11. The European teams are still playing to earn a spot in the next round, and for four of them, those worries have just been lifted from their shoulders.
After Team Heretics’ dominant victory over Excel Esports, the LEC newcomers have locked in their spot in the group stage alongside G2 Esports, MAD Lions, and Team BDS. With Team Vitality also locked in, only three spots remain for the five final teams in the league.
