The LEC 2023 Offseason rumors are flooding Twitter as a lot of the rosters are verbally agreed on.
The offseason has begun since League of Legends Worlds 2022 ended. Free Agency is coming up soon as teams are gearing up to retool their teams. Teams undergo some form of change since they want to improve upon their previous year.
The LEC is no different, as teams are going to be making a lot of changes, given how they performed at Worlds 2022. The format for the LEC is also changing as the rumor suggests that LEC is going to a unique format of three splits.
As there will be more splits and such, teams are definitely looking to adapt to the new system. However, in these kinds of situations, rumors and leaks are par for the course. That said, a lot of rumors have come out about signings, and this article will outline all of them for the different teams.
