Worlds 2023 continues to escalate as we approach the penultimate battle of the championship. With only four teams remaining in the quest for the Callers Cup, three hail from the LPL, but it’s the sole LCK contender, T1, that draws our focused gaze today.
T1: The LCK’s Lone Warrior
T1, the legendary Korean marque, steps onto the global stage as the underdog with odds hovering around 2.1. Despite consistently reaching the apex of major tournaments, a first-place finish has eluded them, adding a layer of intrigue to their current campaign.

JD Gaming: The Tournament Favorite
JD Gaming has been deemed the favorite with winning odds at approximately 1.65. Their triumphs in the LPL Spring and Mid-Season Invitational 2023 have set them as formidable opponents on this international stage.
