The page has turned to the 2023 season and fans everywhere are excited to see what their teams are doing for the Spring Split. This is the first Power Ranking of the new year and while teams prepare, analysts discuss their teams at length. Like all Power Rankings, these will instantly be wrong upon being published. But that is okay because pieces like these are fun thought experiments as everyone waits for the season to begin. So, without further adieu, here are the LCS 2023 Spring Split Power Rankings, heading into Week 3.

Thanks to Oracles Elixir for any and all Stats used in this article.

10. Dignitas (Last Week: 8)

It has been an awful start for Dignitas. Spawn has a total of two kills and one assist so far in four games. This is the lowest in the league and it really is not close. If week three is more of the same then other options will likely need to start being looked at. His saving grace? No one of Dignitas are playing well. Games cannot be won with 15 kills in four games. It is just impossible in League of Legends. This team has to figure something out quickly.

9. Golden Guardians (Last Week: 9)

Golden Guardians are playing teams pretty well but they are similar to a soccer/futball team that can keep things close but cannot seal the deal thanks to their lack of offense. An extra week of Gori being with the team should only help as he had a solid first week in the LCS. This team feels like they are close to pushing their way up from the bottom.

8. Immortals (Last Week: 10)

A win is a win, right? Well, Immortals found the formula to their success. Let Kenvi and Revenge cook. They were the only players to come back from 2022 and now fans can see why. When given the chance both can take enough pressure off Tactical and Ablazeolive to give them some wiggle room for mistakes. Team will be banning Kindred or at least they should. Time for Immortals to learn from their win and build their strategies around the same basic concept.

7. TSM (Last Week: 6)

As great as week 1 was for TSM is as bad as week 2 is. They are likely a mid-tier team and for now, that is fine. Evil Geniuses and 100T are no joke and neither will C9 or CLG be. TSM will want to find a win this week to keep up with the top teams. If they can do that all the way to the end, that will show that these players can hack it at this level. If things continue in a downward trend, there are former LCS and TSM pros just chomping at the bit to get back up to the top level in NA.

6. CLG (Last Week: 3)

Similar to TSM, CLG had an outstanding week 1, to the point where they looked like they might be a top team. Then they lost to C9, which is not the problem. It was the loss to IMT that has the faithful potentially losing their faith. This team is supposed to be as steady as they come in the LCS and dropping a game to a team clearly less talented and less together is not a good look. CLG will be hoping to right the ship in week 3 with at least one win.

5. Team Liquid (Last Week: 7)

Team Liquid have found their form, at least a bit. It was still not pretty but a 2-0 weekend should only encourage TL to continue their intense practice regimen. So far Yeon has shown that he may be a budding star. Whiffs of Tactical with CoreJJ are quite strong right now and that is not a bad thing. The major difference? Yeon is positioning better in teamfights. If this continues he may already be fighting for a top-five spot in a very crowded ADC position.

4. 100 Thieves (Last Week: 4)

Will someone ban Zeri against Doublelift? No? Well then expect a loss. This man is nearly unstoppable on the champion and reminding everyone that age is just a number. It feels like week 2 was where 100 Thieves found their style and from here on out they build on it. This team is filled with players who know how to win and the two who don’t are some of the best prospects the LCS has ever seen. The three teams above them should be watching their backs.

3. Evil Geniuses (Last Week: 3)

All is good in Evil Geniuses’ world. They earned their 2-0 this week and reminded everyone why they were arguably the best team in the LCS in 2022. With Ssumday and FBI getting more comfortable, this team should only continue to scale. What has been equally as promising is FBI. He is playing out of his mind and yet everyone is still talking about Prince and Berserker. The man deserves some more RESPECT.

2. Cloud9 (Last Week: 1)

When a team’s only loss is to the best team, they are the second-best team. The thing is, they are playing like it and it still feels like Berserker has not found his groove yet. This team is beatable but extremely dangerous. If teams can keep Fudge from rolling top and in side lanes instead of teamfights, they have a much better chance as he is arguably the best top laner in the LCS right now. That being said, it will all be mute if the team keeps their form and the bot lane duo really get going.

1. FlyQuest (Last Week: 2)

Another 2-0 week and a win over Cloud9, FlyQuest are the best team in the LCS. What is crazy is that everything seems to be going exactly as planned. Even with VicLa still finding his footing, FlyQuest are finding success everywhere else on the map and Prince is playing extremely well. With Eyla coming soon, FlyQuest will have their final piece of the puzzle and will be looking to stomp anyone who stands in their way.
