LCO Split 2 2023: Ground Zero upsets Pentanet for series tie

Date:

Our teams are ready to hit the Summoners Rift, fighting for a top-two seed to compete in the PCS playoffs–their chance at Worlds in South Korea. With a brand new best-of-two format, which teams will succeed?


  • Chiefs remain undefeated after victory over Kanga
  • Ground Zero finds game one upset, tying against Pentanet
  • Games resume Monday, June 19 @ 6pm

Team Bliss and the reformed Mammoth at their full power with Yursan went toe to toe in the first series of yesterday evening.

Things looked a bit grim for Team Bliss in game one as Mammoth asserted their pressure onto their opponents. But, it wasn’t enough to dissuade Bliss as they blossomed back to life in an insane comeback thanks to their star in the midlane, Daystar–it was enough for them to take the game.

Once Yursan had warmed up, however, it was all but over for Team Bliss. Facilitating his ADC in Chayon, the pair were absolute menaces for the Brisbane org and with their carry performances, managed to secure the victory in under thirty minutes.

After a winless debut from Vertex last week, the OG wolfpack were their next opponents–and they weren’t going easy on them either. With only one death to his twenty one kills, Praedyth’s Jinx and Aphelios gameplay was too much for the cubs to bear, carrying the series and leaving Vertex winless once more.

Tonight, last split’s champions in the Chiefs are posed against Kanga in the opening series, later followed by Pentanet and Ground Zero.

We’re covering everything LCO Split 2; streams, schedule, rosters, and more.

LCO Split 2 2023 Schedule & Results

There have been some major changes to the format of the LCO ahead of Split 2 this June. The round-robin stage will be played in best-of-twos as opposed to the former two separate best-of-one matches.

Points will be allocated depending on the results, with three awarded for a victorious flawless series, and one point to each team for a 1-1 outcome. Side selections will be submitted from both teams prior to the beginning of a series.

By the end of the round-robin, the top six teams will move into the next stage.

Rather than seeding into groups, the LCO has opted in favour of a double elimination playoffs bracket to give all teams a fighting chance.

The top two teams in our LCO playoffs will seed respectively for PCS playoffs, where they’ll be competing for a shot at Worlds in South Korea in October.
