All of the teams qualified for MSI 2021

The first international League of Legends event of the year begins with the Mid-Season Invitational in Reykjavík, Iceland. 

The event, which is expected to take place from May 6 to 23, will see the top team from each of the 11 regions compete for money, glory, and, for the first time in history, an additional slot at the World Championship.

This year, Riot is doing away with the play-in stage and splitting the 11 regions into four tiers based on the results of the last two years of international tournaments. The new format will give teams more of an incentive to perform on the international stage, especially with an extra slot at Worlds on the line.
