It all comes down to a single Best of 5 series.

In one corner, a team fresh off an appearance in the 2023 LEC Spring Split Finals and was one game away from earning an outright spot at Worlds, it's Team BDS.

In the other corner, a team that made its first ever Finals berth in the 2023 LCS Spring Split Finals and made it to its first ever international competition at MSI 2023, it's Golden Guardians.

Both teams aim to represent their region in Korea at the 2023 League of Legends World Championships, but see each other as the final hurdle to get over to make it there.

BDS, comprised of mostly first timers in the international stage with Adam being the only one who has Worlds experience back on FNC in 2021, is hungry for international success.

Golden Guardians, on the other hand, fields a lineup with much more international competition experience with Licorice (C9), River (PSG Talon), Stixxay (CLG), and Huhi (CLG and 100 Thieves).

Both squads want to shake off some poor performances in Summer with BDS failing to make it out of Groups and GG being a shell of their MSI selves during the LCS Summer Playoffs.

The Worlds Qualifying Series is over a month still (as of this writing) and let's hope our Golden Gamers secure that 4th NA spot in Korea.
