While so many people are waiting to see what moves the main LCS teams will make, it is their Academy teams that make moves that determine the LCS’ future. Some of the next jojopyuns, Dannys, Spicas and more have to make their way through Academy to be the next LCS stars. Who will be these potentially next great stars? Well here is the likely 2023 Team Liquid Academy Roster with players who they believe could help them now and in the future.

The path to the LCS has gone through significant changes heading into the 2023 season. The new North American Challengers League will look very similar to the new VALORANT Franchising format. There are the 10 LCS Academy teams and then six Provisional Teams or more specifically, former Amateur teams. The 10 Academy teams will be permanent while the six Provisional Teams have to fight to keep their spots.
Listed below is how the season will go with a Promotional Tournament twice a year.
Below is the team that Team Liquid will be sending through that gauntlet.
Top: Bradley
Jung: Arthur
Mid: APA
Bot: Arrow
Sup: Siddywiddy
Bradley is the only returning player from the 2022 Academy roster and is still getting used to the role swap from mid lane. He performed at a very high level and is very much an under-the-radar prospect for NA. Arthur makes his way over to the LCS for the first time after bouncing around between OCE and Hanwha Life. APA finally gets his chance after being a standout player at Scouting Grounds just a few years ago. At support is SiddyWiddy, a player who has jumped around on multiple teams for the past few years and he will be making a role swap of his own from the jungle. Lastly, the grizzled veteran Arrow continues to help bring out the best in NA talent as he looks to break the LCS once more.
