The League of Legends Championship Series (LCS) 2023 Summer split regular season is in the rearview mirror, with the playoffs set to start today, on Thursday, July 27. But before the top LCS squads start their campaign to win the LCS crown, the league handed out rewards to recognise the performances of its top players and coaches.

As it's a tradition, the LCS hands out individual rewards to players who stood out with their brilliance throughout the regular season by recognising them as a part of the LCS All-Pro Team. And while the voting for LCS 2023 Summer All-Pro team was closer than ever, players from two teams stood out as the best-performing individuals of the summer split.

Interestingly, no player from a team which finished the LCS 2023 Summer outside of the top four earned an All-Pro spot this split, with the list of players including just members of Cloud9, Golden Guardians, Evil Geniuses, and Team Liquid.

Of the four teams, Cloud9 and Golden Guardians stood out as two dominating squads in the All-Pro Team votes, with all ten of their players earning the season reward. The remaining spots were filled by three Team Liquid and two Evil Geniuses players.

On the list of 15 LCS 2023 Summer All-Pro Team players, Joseph Joon "jojopyun" Pyun has received the most points and first-place votes with 106, followed by Golden Guardians' support Choi "huhi" Jae-hyun, who received 98 points, and Cloud9's ADC Kim "Berserker" Min-cheol with 97.

The closest races for the 1st All-Pro Team positions were for the top lane and jungle. Golden Guardains' top laner Eric "Licorice" Ritchie received 70 points, nine ahead of Team Liquid's Park "Summit" Woo-tae (61 points), while Cloud9's jungler Robert "Blaber" Huang earned a spot in the 1st LCS 2023 Summer All-Pro Team with 93 points, eight ahead of Golden Guardians' jungler Kim "River" Dong-woo (85 points).
