The first international LoL event is being held in the United Kingdom. The event will occur primarily in London, at the Copper Box Arena. This arena can host 7,500 spectators.

Format

During this year’s MSI, there will be two different phases in terms of format. The first will be the Play-Ins, which will include eight teams divided into two groups. There will not be a league for these matches, but they will go directly to a group stage.

Three teams will advance from this group, two from the regular format and one from a last-chance playoff. The losers of groups A and B finals will play each other. Each series will be a best of three games.

After this first phase, the group phase will begin, in which eight teams will also participate. However, there will be two elimination rounds this time, giving each team a second chance if it loses the first round, and a best-of-five match will be played.

The winner’s team that has won all five matches will play the final against the team from the losers’ team that made it to the final.
