The 2023 League of Legends Worlds Championship is starting in Busan, South Korea, with the quarter- and semi-finals underway. However, a recurring issue is casting a shadow over the event. Several teams are grappling with inadequate practice time due to internet problems.

T1, one of the prominent contenders in LoL Worlds 2023, is facing this problem. They expressed their doubts on Twitter through their general manager, Jeong “Becker” Hoi-yoon.

Becker stated that the team has been facing huge obstacles in getting decent practice due to persistent internet issues, as reported by Ashley Kang of Korizon.

Fans of the tournament have expressed their disappointment, highlighting that these issues reflect poorly on Riot, the event’s organizer. Many believe that Riot should ensure that each participating team has access to optimal practice conditions. They should also create an environment conducive to success during the World Championship knockout rounds.

Impact on Upcoming Matches

The consequences of these internet problems could be particularly dire for teams like Weibo Gaming and NRG, who are scheduled to compete on Thursday.
