Another 2 weeks passed, and after we got two patches of offseason and the first proper Season 13 patch, 13.1B (basically a pre-version of patch 13.2, which has been delayed due to the recent cyberattack on Riot) again changes the meta completely and kind of makes the preseason patches a bit pointless. Still, more changes mean more fun, and Yuumi has been nerfed to the ground, which is always good!Patch 13.1B is already live, while the 13.2 is expected to go live shortly.Champion changesBuffs:· Lillia· Orianna· ZoeNerfs:· Gangplank· Heimerdinger· Kassadin· Kindred· Lucian· Maokai· Nami· Ryze· Udyr· Yuumi (yay!)

One of the most interesting projects for LEC this 2023 is Vitality’s roster. If Heretics has a Korean, a Japanese, and three Europeans; Vitality has a Korean, a Chinese, and three Europeans. Between the names being considered by Vitality in the toplane, which include people like Odoamne and Bwipo, as told by Eros here on BLIX.GG, Vitality ended up signing Korean toplaner Kyeong “Photon” Gyu-tae, a young 21yo rookie that played for T1 Challengers (T1 academy team) last year, where he reached 1st place in Summer Regular Season and Semifinals in the Playoffs, as well as winning the East Asia…
This year will be the one with the most changes inside the league, not only in terms of format, seeding, and even splits but also as team changes.

What competitive saysWhile preseason is not a time when much competitive play is taking place, we can always look up one tournament that helps in glancing at what the early 2023 meta could be: The Demacia Cup 2022, the Chinese preseason tournament. This 2-week cup is the most remarkable piece of competitive meta that can be analyzed, but it must be kept in mind that the Chinese competitive meta is much more aggressive and fight-oriented style compared to other regions. Keep in mind, Demacia Cup was played in the 12.23 Patch.This year’s Demacia Cup, which was won by Bilibili Gaming…
