The League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational is coming to Chengdu, China! From May 1-19, 12 qualified teams from around the world will take to the global stage for the first time this year at the Chengdu Financial City Performing Arts Center.

For the first time ever, the winning team at MSI will be awarded a guaranteed spot at Worlds, which also counts as an additional slot for their region. The next best performing region at MSI will secure an additional seed for their region. To ensure that the team that qualifies early for Worlds remains committed to success in their home league, they still must qualify for their region's Summer Playoffs.

Read on to learn more about the adjusted format for MSI 2024!

Format

Twelve teams in total will be sent to China to compete:

• 2 teams each from LPL, LCK, LCS, and LEC
• 1 team from LLA, CBLOL, PCS, and VCS

The Play-In Stage will kick off with the 2nd seed from LCK, LPL, LEC, and LCS, as well as the top seed from LLA, CBLOL, PCS, and VCS, for a total of 8 teams. The teams will be drawn into two, best-of-three, double-elimination brackets, with the winners and runners-up of each bracket advancing to the next stage.

Those four teams will join the remaining four competitors: the top-seeded teams from LCK, LPL, LEC, and LCS, for a total of 8 teams in the Bracket Stage. The teams will be drawn into four matches to kick off a single best-of-five double elimination bracket, culminating in the Finals on May 19 to determine the MSI 2024 Champion title.
