The competition will feature 11 squads that won the most prominent regional leagues from around the world this spring, including the LCK, LPL, LEC, and LCS, fighting for their share of the $250,000 prize pool and glory overseas.

Group A features T1, Saigon Buffalo, DetonatioN FocusMe, and Team Aze. The second group is made up of Royal Never Give Up, PSG Talon, RED Canids, and Istanbul Wildcats. And the third group includes G2 Esports, Evil Geniuses, and ORDER.

MSI 2022 has three stages—the group stage, rumble stage, and knockout stage—and the champion will be crowned on May 29 at the Bexco Exhibition Hall, the venue used for the rumble and knockout stages.
