Indeed, for those unaware, MSI and Worlds are the international events for League of Legends.
Correspondingly, qualifying for these events is usually at the tail end of two splits – Spring (MSI) and Summer (Worlds). Accordingly, all regions exercise the format of Spring and Summer to line up with these events.
Anyways, with a Winter Split for this year’s LEC, many questions were posed. Here’s what Riot Games clarified for qualification for MSI and Worlds.
- MSI Qualifications – Winner of Spring Split (first seed) + Winner of the Winter Split (second seed). If one team wins both splits, Championship Points will determine second seed. If multiple teams have same points, placement at Spring Split decides.
- Worlds Qualification – three slots at Worlds, one slot at World Qualifying Series. Winner and Runner-up at LEC Season Finals decides first and second seeds. Other parameters – team winning all three splits is qualified directly.
