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?


  • Bliss, Ground Zero debut for LCO Split 1 2023
  • Reigning champions Chiefs to begin title defence
  • Five week split kicks off January 23

The off-season is over, and competitive League of Legends is finally back.

While other regions began their 2023 conquests last week, OCE fans have been made to wait — but no longer.

The LCO is back — but it’s a strange new world that our eight squads enter into. Major changes announced in November means a new pathway for our Oceanic representatives to tread.

OCE will no longer be guaranteed a spot at MSI and Worlds, instead needing to pass the PCS gauntlet in order to represent the region on the big stage.

A new format, too: squads will have just five weeks to prove their worth in pursuit of League glory — and there’s plenty of pressure on our debutants in Bliss and Ground Zero to hit the ground running early.

Bliss will begin their LCO season with a bang: reigning champions Chiefs await the boys in pink in a season opener not to be missed, while Ground Zero kick off their LCO campaign against a rebuilt Pentanet.

A new-look Mammoth take on Dire Wolves, while the Taiwanese-based Peace challenge Kanga in their first series up.

We’re covering LCO Split 1: teams, schedule, results and more.

Split 1 of LCO 2023 features a brand new five week format. Each team will play a best-of-three against one another via round robin.

LCO Split 1 2023 Rosters

Reigning LCO champions Chiefs will be out to defend their crown, but have undergone changes since their Mexico outing late last year.

Raes & Aladoric return as the team’s bot lane duo, but coach Babip steps back into the starting line-up as the team’s jungler, while BioPanther makes a return to the LCO after Order’s dissolution in 2022.

It’s a new Chiefs squad for ’23, but the league champs retain their favourites tag heading into Split 1.

Bliss and Ground Zero make their grand entrance to the LCO with a combination of youth and experience, while Mammoth have built around the 2022 Gravitas core, with Ch1Chi debuting in the LCO as the team’s top laner.
