The League of Legends European Championship (LEC) is one of the most prestigious esports leagues in the world, with teams from across Europe competing for the chance to be crowned champions. SK Gaming, after eight years, has reached the top 4 of the LEC, making this season one of the most exciting in recent memory.

SK Gaming has been a mainstay in the LEC since its inception in 2013, but they have struggled to keep up with the pace of its competitors in recent years. However, the 2023 Winter Split has seen the team turn their fortunes around, and they have emerged as a force to be reckoned with. The team's success can be attributed to its consistent performance throughout the season. They have managed to win key matches against some of the top teams in the league, including G2 Esports, Rogue, and Fnatic. Their teamwork has been impeccable, with each member of the team contributing to their victories.

 SK Gaming roster

  • Top: Joel “Irrelevant” Scharoll
  • Mid: Daniel “Sertuss” Gamani
  • AD carry: Thomas “Exakick” Foucou
  • Jungle: Mark “Markoon” van Woense
  • Support: Mads “Doss” Schwartz

In the LEC Winter Split, SK Gaming came in third place overall. The fact that Team Vitality won the regular season championship made the team the apparent underdog going into the game. Yet SK was able to make things work since the entire team gave an outstanding performance to help the team win. In the opening match of the best-of-three (BO3) series, SK defeated Vitality's base and Nexus while overcoming a significant gold deficit and performing effectively in team fights. Yet in the second game, SK Gaming completely dominated and defeated Team Vitality to advance to the playoffs.

One of the standout players on the team is their AD Carry, Minho "Crownshot" Lee. He has been a key factor in SK Gaming's success, consistently delivering strong performances and leading the team to victory. His synergy with the team's Support player, Erik "Treatz" Wessén, has been particularly impressive, and they have formed a deadly duo on the Rift. SK Gaming's journey to the top 4 has not been an easy one. They have had to overcome some tough obstacles, including a loss to Excel Esports early in the season. However, they refused to give up and worked hard to improve their game, which paid off in the later stages of the competition. SK Gaming's success has not gone unnoticed, and fans across Europe have been quick to praise the team for their achievements. They have been inspired by the team's perseverance and dedication, and many are excited to see what the future holds for SK Gaming.

The LEC 2023 Winter Split has been an incredibly exciting season, with many unexpected twists and turns. SK Gaming's journey to the top 4 has been one of the highlights of the season, and it is a testament to the team's hard work and determination. We can't wait to see what they will accomplish in the future, and we wish them all the best in their upcoming matches. Apart from SK Gaming, the other teams that made it to LEC 2023 Winter Split are MAD Lions, G2 Esports, and KOI.
