Look Sports Media – The 2025 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) is almost upon us, igniting the competitive spirit in Vancouver, Canada, from June 27th to July 12th. This year’s tournament promises a thrilling spectacle as ten elite teams from across the globe battle for supremacy, not just for the coveted title, but also for crucial advantages heading into the World Championship.
MSI 2025 will feature two distinct stages: the Play-In Stage (June 27th-29th) and the Bracket Stage (July 1st-5th and July 7th-12th). The Play-In Stage will see G2 Esports, Bilibili Gaming, GAM Esports, and Furia clash in a double-elimination bracket, with only the top two advancing to the main event. The Bracket Stage will then pit the remaining teams against each other, with the draw determined by regional performance and designed to ensure regional rivals don’t meet too early. The format guarantees intense, best-of-five matches, adding a layer of strategic depth with the "fearless draft" in the Play-Ins.
This year’s participant list includes a surprising entry: Anyone’s Legend, the first seed from the LPL, making their international debut. They’ll face stiff competition from powerhouses like FlyQuest (victorious in the LTA North finals against Cloud9) and other top contenders. The full lineup, ordered by the LoL Esports Global Power Rankings, is available on looksports.media.
