Teams that underwent significant changes 

In an effort to compete at a higher level in 2023, many teams completely overhauled their lineups for the next competitive season. In addition to bringing back Mihael 'Mikyx' Mehle and signing Steven 'Hans sama' Liv, G2 Esports also made changes to their bot lane by promoting academy support Rben 'rhuckz' Barbosa and revamping their bot lane with Martin 'Rekkles' Larsson and Martin 'Yike' Sundelin. The collapse of Vitality's "super team" led to the creation of a nearly entirely new lineup, which will be led by the jungler Zhou "Bo" Yangbo. Along with Japanese top laner Shunsuke "Evi" Murase of the Heretics, who was formerly of Detonation FocusMe, he is one of the imports that LEC supporters are eager to see in action.
