The anticipation is high as the LCK gears up for the 2023 LCK Awards, set to take place on December 13th at 7 PM at the IVEX STUDIO in Gwangmyeong, South Korea. The awards ceremony will honor the outstanding players, teams, and coaches who have left an indelible mark in 2023.

The 2023 LCK Awards will recognize players who have excelled in each position. Nominees from Gen.G, T1, and KT Rolster, the powerhouse teams of the 2023 season, dominate the list of candidates in each position category.

Gen.G, securing championships in both the 2023 LCK Spring and Summer splits, boasted exceptional performances from Choi “Doran” Hyeon-joon, Han “Peanut” Wang-ho, Jeong “Chovy” Ji-hoon, Kim “Peyz” Soo-hwan, and Yoo “Delight” Hwan-joong, earning nominations for each position's Player of the Year.

KT Rolster, after a remarkable 16-game winning streak in the 2023 Summer regular season, sees Kim “Kiin” Gi-in, Moon “Cuzz” Woo-chan, Gwak “Bdd” Bo-seong, Kim “Aiming” Ha-ram, and Son “Lehends” Si-woo nominated for positional Players of the Year, following their inclusion in the summer All-LCK First Team.

T1, triumphant in the 2023 League of Legends World Championship after defeating formidable teams, presents Choi “Zeus” Woo-je, Moon “Oner” Hyeon-joon, Lee “Faker” Sang-hyeok, Lee “Gumayusi” Min-hyeong, and Ryu “Keria” Min-seok as candidates for positional Players of the Year.

With the fierce competition among Gen.G, KT Rolster, and T1, fans eagerly await the unveiling of which team will produce the most award-winning players in each position.

The coveted title of 'Player of the Year' features nominees from T1, including Faker, Keria, Zeus, alongside Gen.G’s Chovy. The evaluation criteria for 'Player of the Year' and positional Players of the Year include performances in the LCK, MSI, and Worlds, like last year.

The LCK Awards will recognize individual achievements and honor outstanding players with awards such as Player of the Split, Regular Season MVP, and the ALL LCK First Team, as well as Rookie of the Year and Best Coach.
