The League of Legends World Championship (Worlds) is the most prestigious tournament in the esports scene, where the best teams from different regions compete for the ultimate glory. In 2023, the tournament will be held in South Korea, the birthplace of esports and home of the LCK, one of the strongest leagues in the world. The West, which includes Europe, North America, and Latin America, has historically struggled to match the level of the East, which includes China, Korea, and Southeast Asia. However, in recent years, some Western teams have shown signs of improvement and have reached the semifinals or even the finals of Worlds. For example, in 2018, Fnatic from Europe reached the finals and lost to Invictus Gaming from China. In 2019, G2 Esports from Europe reached the finals and lost to FunPlus Phoenix from China. In 2020, no Western team reached the semifinals, as they were all eliminated by Eastern teams in the quarterfinals. In 2021, MAD Lions from Europe reached the semifinals and lost to DAMWON Gaming from Korea. In 2022, Rogue from Europe was the only Western team to reach the quarterfinals, but they lost to JD Gaming from China.

This market is about predicting whether a team from the West will reach the semifinals of Worlds 2023. The outcome will be determined by the official results of the tournament published by Riot Games, the developer and organizer of League of Legends. The market will resolve as YES if at least one team from Europe, North America, or Latin America reaches the semifinals of Worlds 2023. The market will resolve as NO if no team from these regions reaches the semifinals of Worlds 2023. The market will be voided if Worlds 2023 is cancelled or postponed for any reason.
