Svenska Cupen is being held for the second time. Last year, Ninjas in Pyjamas emerged victorious, defeating EYEBALLERS in the final. This brought the teams $22,078 and $11,039, respectively. The third-place finisher was the rather unusual lineup of ex-Team Finest, featuring Alexander "hades" Miskiewicz and Patrick "f0rest" Lindberg.

For NIP, Svenska Cupen 2023 will be their third LAN tournament in Counter-Strike 2 after CS2 Asia Championships 2023 and BLAST Premier: Fall Final 2023. Additionally, the Swedish organization will participate in Roobet Cup 2023 and Thunderpick World Championship 2023, which will be held online.
