GAM and TW enter the 2023 Worlds as top seeds from the VCS region, aiming to advance furthest in this year's tournament. Considering their roster and preparation, VCS fans can expect a strong showing from them in the Play-In stage and beyond, into the Group Stage matches. Recently, both GAM and TW have also received solo queue accounts from Riot Korea, making training for Worlds more convenient. This has led the VCS community to jest that GAM and TW won't have to resort to secret practice on the Korean server anymore.

More specifically, the in-game aliases of GAM and TW members on the Korean server are as follows:
- GAM Kiaya: theEternalGambler
- GAM Levi: skywardLeviathan
- GAM Kati: wildWingedOne
- GAM Slayder: GAM Marksman
- GAM Palette: luminousPalette
- TW Sparda: legacyOfSparda
- TW BeanJ: mysticBean
- TW Glory: GEN G MID TEST
- TW Artemis: divineArcher
- TW Bie: TW DragonLord
- TW CBL: TW CyberLegend
With accounts granted on the Korean server, both GAM and TW members find it easier to practice here alongside their teammates. This move by Riot Korea is completely understandable as all pro players need optimal conditions to train and compete in the 2023 Worlds.
Not long ago, South Korea also took strict actions by banning all accounts with IPs outside the region due to a series of negative and toxic behaviors from professional players from other areas. Subsequently, Riot Korea relaxed its ban, but practicing on this server has become much more challenging compared to before.
Hoping for a conducive training environment and thorough preparation, both GAM and TW aim for promising results in the upcoming matches. Stay tuned to avoid missing out on the latest updates!
