How does the MSI 2023 competition work?

This year, Riot Games decided to boost the number of teams participating in the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational 2023 from 11 to 13. Runners-up from North America, Europe, China, and South Korea will receive a second seed for MSI 2023, despite the fact that regions like the LCO can no longer directly place teams in the competition.

North American, European, and Chinese top seeds, as well as both South Korean top seeds, get an instant boost to the Bracket Stage. As a result of their success in their respective regional competitions, the five squads that reached the number one rank will skip the Play-In round.

At the same time, the other eight teams will participate in the Play-In round, where they will face off for three spots in the bracket round.
