Mid-Season Invitational 2024 is the first international tournament of the 14 competitive season.
MSI 2024 is the first major international LAN tournament in 2024. Riot Games have made some global changes to the League of Legends competitive format and will be testing them out at the Mid-Season Invitational 2024.
Compared to last year's UK Mid-Season Invitational 2023, the 2024 MSI will see representatives from 8 regions. From the classic LPL, LCK, LEC, LCS, PCS, VCS, LJL, CBLoL and LLA. That leaves all but PCS. The fact is that starting from 2024 the PCS region is expanding: the Japanese LJL league has joined the Taiwanese region. So the PCS now includes the PCS itself, Japan (LJL) and Australia (LCO).
The venue for the Mid-Season Invitational 2024 is China for the first time since 2016, and the grand final will be hosted by Chengdu, China. The venue for MSI 2024 was not chosen by chance, as teams from China have dominated the MSI series for years: since 2021, the MSI Champions Cup has travelled to the Middle Kingdom. RNG ruled the roost in 2021 and 2022, while last year's Mid-Season Invitational in London was won by JD Gaming.
Reigning Mid-Season Invitational champions JD Gaming will once again attempt to make the Golden Road. In Season 13 they were ostuponed by T1 and only in the semi-finals by Worlds. You can find the full list of participants in the corresponding box above.
Form of MSI 2024
Participants of MSI 2024 will be determined by regional appearances. The tournament will feature the Spring Split champions in LEC, LPL, LCS, LCS, CBLOL, LLA, VCS and PCS. Additional slots will be awarded to representatives from Major regions: LCK, LPL, LEC and LCS.
Mid-Season Invitational 2024 is the second tournament of the series to be held in Double-Elimination format. Everything is logical, because last year's MSI showed good results.
MSI 2024 will start with the Play-In stage (the local analogue of the group stage). 8 teams in Double-Elimination grid with bo3 matches. The lower grid finals are played to 3 wins (bo5) and 3 teams qualify for the play-offs.
In the main stage of the Mid-Season Invitational, 8 teams play. The final stage is Double-Elimination and all matches in the main stage are played to 3 wins (Bo5).
