The second biggest League of Legends tournament in the world, the Mid Season Invitationals, gathers the top teams in every region around the world. This event is a great opportunity to compare the differences between each region prior to the Worlds, later in the year.
Currently, Riot has set the minimum guaranteed prize pool to $250,000 USD. The number will increase based on a percentage of the revenue from designated in-client sales.
The 2024 Mid Season Invitationals will begin on the 1st of May, lasting two and a half weeks until the 19th. It will be streamed through the usual YouTube and Twitch, along with other partner websites like Afreeca TV, Zhanqi, and Douyu.
Strangely, the 2024 MSI will host a total of 12 teams.
The eight teams from play-ins will battle it out to have a chance to join the four first seeds in the bracket stage. There, the squads will clash in a double-elimination playoff bracket to determine the MSI champion. The winning team will not only guarantee an additional slot for its own region at Worlds but it will also gain direct qualification to the World Championship. The only condition is that the team must qualify for the region’s playoffs in the summer split.
The second-best region at MSI will also get an additional slot like the winning region. For the major regions, it would add one fourth slot. For the wild card regions, instead, it would be hand them a second slot at Worlds. This is the first time that MSI has direct implications for Worlds, as the goal is to raise the stakes and reward performing regions or teams throughout the year.
