There will be plenty of offline fun to be had!
Since its inception in 2016, LJL has held many matches and finals offline with spectators, but due to the new coronavirus infection, we were forced to hold the event online for a long time. However! LJL 2023 Summer Split Finals will be held offline with spectators at Makuhari Messe for the first time in four years! In addition to the finals matches, there will be a variety of events at the venue to enjoy the world of League of Legends.
More than 40 cosplayers will appear!
At the time of writing, League of Legends has 164 champions implemented. This means that there are plenty of cosplay options!
We will have League of Legends-themed cosplayers on hand at the LJL 2023 Summer Split Finals! If you are lucky, you might be able to take a photo with them at the photo session...? General visitors are also welcome to cosplay, so let's have fun and don't get caught up in the precautions!
