With the 2024 League of Legends season well underway, teams from all over the world are competing for fame and glory. If they manage to come out successful in their respective Winter and Spring Splits, they’ll have a chance to compete at the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational.

At this point, having MSI in the middle of the year has become a tradition in the League esports ecosystem. The tournament welcomes the very best teams from each region, with the top four regions getting two spots each. Last year’s edition was held in London, while in 2024, the tournament will be hosted in Chengdu, China.

In 2023, Riot Games introduced a new format for MSI, which was quickly acclaimed by both pro players and fans. It features two stages with a losers bracket, giving each participant a chance to bounce back if they slip in a certain series. There’s also a lot to fight for since the winners qualify for Worlds 2024, while the second-best region in the final standings unlocks an additional seed for its domestic league at Worlds.

Here’s what the list of participants looks like at the 2024 League Mid-Season Invitational.

All teams qualified for Mid-Season Invitational 2024

LEC (EMEA)

    • G2 Esports
  • Play-in
    • Fnatic

The 2024 LEC Winter and Spring Splits winners are given spots at MSI 2024. Mikyx (above) and G2 Esports swept the Winter Playoffs, losing only two games in four series. That Winter win locked in at least a play-in spot for G2. But after their win over Fnatic in the final, they were elevated to the main stage.

Fnatic qualified after reverse sweeping Team BDS in the lower bracket finals of the Spring Split Playoffs. This will be the org’s first MSI appearance since 2018.

LCS (North America)

  • Main event
    • Team Liquid
  • Play-in
    • FlyQuest

Team Liquid completed an epic lower bracket run to secure their spot in the MSI 2024 bracket stage. The team finished the regular split with a 7-7 record and dropped their opening series to FlyQuest but took down Dignitas, 100 Thieves, and Cloud9 before exacting their revenge in the grand final. FlyQuest’s second-place finish locks the NA team in for its first international appearance in four years via the play-in stage.

LPL (China)

  • Main event
    • Bilibili Gaming
  • Play-in
    • Top Esports

Bilibili Gaming, last year’s MSI runners-up, took home first place in the LPL playoffs this spring, earning them a direct ticket to the MSI bracket. Top Esports will be slotted into the play-in stage. Last year’s MSI champions, JD Gaming, failed to qualify for the event as they finished third in the LPL Spring Playoffs.

LCK (Korea)

    • Gen.G
  • Play-in
    • T1

Not much separated the two frontrunners for the bulk of the year, but it was Gen.G who survived a late surge to win the LCK Spring Split and secure a direct spot at MSI. T1 were on their heels for the season and final, but Faker and crew will start their MSI run from the play-in stage.

PCS (Asia-Pacific)

  • Play-in
    • PSG Talon

PSG Talon qualified for MSI’s play-in stage after a win over LJL team SoftBank HAWKS. Talon were heavily favored to nab the spot, while LJL reps HAWKS turned heads after a win over CTBC Flying Oyster in the lower bracket final. The Japanese squad was no match for Talon, however, with the PCS champs sweeping the HAWKS in the final.

VCS (Vietnam)

  • Play-in
    • GAM Esports

The VCS playoffs resumed despite Riot continuing its investigation into match-fixing in the region. All four remaining playoff teams were impacted by player bans, with the originally planned six-team format adjusted as MGN Blue Esports and CERBERUS Esports were forced to withdraw. GAM Esports ultimately walked away as the champions over Vikings Esports.

LLA (Latin America)

  • Play-in
    • Estral Esports

The LLA’s Estral Esports took down Movistar R7 to secure the LLA slot at MSI. The pair met in the upper bracket final, with EST winning a five-game banger, while Movistar R7 bounced back with a 3-2 victory over Isurus in the lower bracket final. Estral never let R7 into the grand final series, sweeping the final 3-0.

CBLOL (Brazil)

  • Play-in
    • LOUD

LOUD return to the international stage with a narrow 3-2 grand final win over PaiN Gaming. This will be LOUD’s fourth consecutive time representing Brazil on the international stage.

This list will be updated when other teams are confirmed to participate in MSI 2024.
