LCK (Korea)
Both teams that make the grand final of theLCK this splitwill qualify for the main stage of MSI. Thanks to their lock as top seed in league play, Gen.G will start in the qualification match meaning they’re just one best-of-three away from securing their tickets to MSI.
Apart from the second seed, all other teams will be seeded into the single-elimination “gauntlet”.
Thanks to theirflawless run in the LCK Regular Season, Gen.Gadvanced directly to upper final. One more win, and they qualified for MSI. Gen.G faced Hanwha Life Esports . In a very close match, Gen.G earned their #1 MSI seed.
T1 were in the lower chain of matches: they started with Round 4.T1 needed to win two matches: vs KT Rolster and HLE to qualify for MSI — sure enough, the LoL World Champions 2024 did it in quite a confident way.
LPL (China)
The bracket stage forLPL Split 2gets started on May 31. The top four teams — TES, Anyone’s Legend, JDG, and Bilibili — skipped straight though to the bracket while the remaining teams fought through a single best-of-three play-in to qualify.
The top two from the LPL final both proceed to MSI and EWC.
Anyone’s Legend played extremely well in the Playoffs. They defeated Weibo Gaming in the upper semi and then faced Bilibili Gaming twice, in the upper final and the grand final.
BLG secured their second LPL seed for the League of Legends MSI 2025 after a win against Invictus Gaming in the lower final. They still couldn’t defeat Anyone’s Legend, so Bilibili Gaming start from the Play-In stage on the Mid-Season Invitational.
