Qualifying stages in 2023

Starting this year, both ranked stages will undergo a mid-road rank reset with their respective rewards.

Ranked Reset

When Stage 2 of the Ranked Season begins, the reset won’t be as heavy as it was in January, as the game won’t change enough to cause players to have to regain their rank to the same extent. This reset will be less important if a player hasn’t played many games since January.

rewards

Players can earn full rewards at each ranked stage, including icons, emotes, and a ranked skin. This means that there will be cosmetic items for this year’s ranked phaseas well as some additional rewards for promotion.

Additionally, players will no longer have to meet the Gold rank requirement to earn a ranked skin, instead earning it based on the number of ranked matches played.

All professional teams from each of the nine leagues will send their players to compete in the season opener event. It is up to each region to determine how they will field their teams. Matches will be played best-of-three on Summoner’s Rift, with no champion locks or replays.

Each of the professional teams representing the winning team will be able to create an emote with the designers at Riot Games to add it to League of Legends

The Breakout event will replace the League of Legends All-Star event. Although All-Star has given players and fans many special moments over the years, the current schedule could be very challenging for its players.

Replacing All-Star with the Season Kickoff event will provide a well-deserved break for pro players and an exciting new platform for fans to complement the local end-of-year competitions and celebrations that regions often host during this period.
