With the League of Legends 2024 Mid-Season Invitational Play-Ins concluded, we now know all of the remaining teams that will be fighting head-on for a chance to win one of the most prestigious international events the pro scene has to offer.

Eight teams will now have to face off the strongest competitors each region had to offer, as we saw some major upsets in the Play-Ins, notably FlyQuest losing to PSG Talon. Regardless, the second seed from the LEC, Fnatic, was able to advance further into the tournament so we will see some banger series this time around. 

Having said that, we will go over everything you need to know about the 2024 MSI Bracket Stage so you can follow and cheer for your favorite team to win it all.

The League of Legends 2024 Mid-Season Invitational Bracket Stage will consist of Best-of-Five matches (Bo5) that will have teams fighting in a rather gruesome series. The format will consist of single Bo5s with double elimination, giving the 8 contenders another chance at glory in the Lower Bracket. 

The eight teams that managed to advance so far are the following:

Region Teams
LCK T1, GEN
LPL BLG, TES
LEC G2, FNC
LCS TL
PCS PSG

They are separated into different tiers, which affected how the draw would pan out, placing some quite interesting matchups for fans to watch.

The first four Bo5s will be played as so:

Match Date Time
TL vs TES Tuesday May 7, 2024 02:00 PDT/ 11:00 CEST/ 17:00 CST
GEN vs FNC Wednesday May 8, 2024 02:00 PDT/ 11:00 CEST/ 17:00 CST
BLG vs PSG Thursday May 9, 2024 02:00 PDT/ 11:00 CEST/ 17:00 CST
G2 vs T1 Friday May 10, 2024 02:00 PDT/ 11:00 CEST/ 17:00 CST

Although a lot of fans are rooting for the LPL and LCK to win their matches, we might see some surprising performances, thus increasing the stakes for the most regarded regions to see if they can defend their fame as being the best of the best. 

Although Western teams have always been under heavy criticism for their international performance, hopefully, these Bo5 series will bring us some banger series that will have everyone on the edge of their seats. 

With that being said, you can watch MSI on Riot Games' official Twitch channel so you can get a taste of the action. Best of luck to the remaining teams!
