JD Gaming is the LPL’s first seed and overall favorite to win Worlds 2023. Follow JDG’s schedule closely as they are close to making history.
In a competitive year, there are four possible titles for a team to win. Two domestic titles, Spring and Summer, the Mid-Season Invitational, and Worlds. JDG has three in the bag and is going for the biggest one yet.
JDG is regarded as one of, if not the best team in the world. The previous iterations of JDG were remarkable, but the 2023 lineup is on a completely different level. JDG upgraded its bottom lane with the addition of Park “Ruler” Jae-hyuk and became unstoppable.
