Loved the theme of Worlds 2023, the League of Legends main tournament: The Grind. The Glory. We will definitely see a lot of grindin, after all, there will be 22 teams in the championship in South Korea and only one will win the big title. The tournament will last a while... it starts on October 10th and runs until November 19th and is divided into three stages: Play-in Stage, Swiss Stage and Knockout Stage (Playoffs). With the exception of the quarterfinals which will be in Busan, all other phases will be in Seoul.

The final, on November 19th, will be in this beautiful stadium above, the Gocheok Sky Dome. The baseball stadium's capacity is almost 17 thousand people.
