2025 Mid-Season Invitational

The 2025 Mid-Season Invitational was the tenth iteration of the Mid-Season Invitational (MSI), a Riot Games–organized tournament for League of Legends, a multiplayer online battle arena video game. The tournament was played in Vancouver, Canada from June 27 to July 12, 2025, and was Canada's first hosting of an international League of Legends competition. It was also the first edition of the tournament to feature the Fearless Draft format,^[2] and the first to be staged under the game's new competitive esports calendar since 2025.^[3]

Nineteen best-of-five series were played during the tournament, nine of which reached a fifth and deciding game, setting the record for the most number of game five's in any international League of Legends competition, surpassing the six game five's witnessed during the 2021 League of Legends World Championship.

Gen.G of the League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK) successfully defended their title, defeating fellow Korean representatives T1, 3–2 to win their second consecutive MSI title. They became the third team to defend their MSI title, after T1 (then-SK Telecom T1) in 2017, and Royal Never Give Up in 2022.^[4][5]

Host selection

During the media day for the 2024 League of Legends World Championship Final at The O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom on November 1, 2024, Riot Games announced that the 2025 edition of the Mid-Season Invitational will take place in Canada, with the host city being determined at the start of the 2025 competitive calendar. This will be Canada's first hosting of a major League of Legends tournament since the Finals of the 2017 North American League Championship Series (NA LCS) Spring Split, when it was held at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada.^[6]

Canada was originally slated to host the semi-final stage of the 2022 League of Legends World Championship at the Scotiabank Arena, Toronto.^[7] However, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada on securing multi-entry visas, Riot Games announced the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, United States as its replacement venue.^[8]

Qualification

The League of Legends Champions Korea (LCK), League of Legends Pro League (LPL), League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC), League of Legends Championship of The Americas (LTA), and the League of Legends Championship Pacific (LCP) had two qualified teams each.^[3] The LCK, by virtue of Hanwha Life Esports winning the First Stand Tournament, had its two qualified teams placed in the Bracket Stage, while the other four regions each had one team in the Play-In and one team in the Bracket Stage.

This was the first Mid-Season Invitational featuring the LCP, a new Asia-Pacific league consisting of a merger between the Pacific Championship Series (PCS), Vietnam Championship Series (VCS), League of Legends Japan League (LJL) and League of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO), and the LTA, a merger between the League Championship Series (LCS), Campeonato Brasileiro de League of Legends (CBLOL), and Liga Latinoamérica (LLA).

Qualified teams

All qualified teams also advanced to the League of Legends tournament of the 2025 Esports World Cup. On May 26, 2025, G2 Esports of the LEC became the first team to qualify for the tournament, with CTBC Flying Oyster of the LCP following suit on June 1. Six days later on June 7, GAM Esports of the LCP and Movistar KOI of the LEC completed the list of qualified teams in their respective regions. The LPL's Anyone's Legend became the first team from the region to qualify on June 9, with Bilibili Gaming also confirming their qualification four days later on June 13.

Defending champions Gen.G of the LCK advanced to the tournament on June 13, with T1 of the LCK, FlyQuest of the LTA North, and FURIA of the LTA South completing the list of qualified teams on June 15.^[9]

Venue

On January 8, 2025, Vancouver was announced as the host city in a development update video published to Riot Games' social media channels to commence the 2025 competitive season.^[10][11] The Pacific Coliseum, which was the site of 2017 NA LCS Spring Finals, was chosen as the venue of the tournament on March 20, 2025.^[12]

Format

All matches in the tournament across both play-in and bracket stages were best-of-five series.

Four of the ten teams started in the play-in stage — the second seeds from the LCP, LEC, and LPL, and the LTA South champions. Teams competed in a GSL-style double-elimination bracket and were seeded based on their region's performance during the 2025 First Stand Tournament, with the first two teams earning two wins advancing to the bracket stage. The two qualified teams from the play-in stage joined the top two seeds from the LCK, the first seeds from the LCP, LEC, and LPL, and the LTA North champions, where they competed in a double-elimination bracket. Matchups were determined at the conclusion of the play-in stage. The winning team of MSI 2025 qualified for the 2025 League of Legends World Championship, while the second-best performing region will also have an additional slot in the said tournament.^[13]

The 2025 Mid-Season Invitational was the first edition of the tournament to adopt the Fearless Draft format. Fearless Draft is an evolution of the traditional pick/ban system wherein champions picked in previous games of a best-of-series become unavailable for both teams in subsequent games.^[14] While Fearless Draft was originally intended to only be used during the first split of the season, Riot Games announced prior to the First Stand Tournament final that the rules would apply for the rest of the year after it received "overwhelming" positive feedback during the period.^[2]

Draw

Following the conclusion of the play-in stage, a draw was originally scheduled to be conducted for the bracket stage. The eight qualified teams were divided into the following four tiers:^[16]

Tier 1 Gen.G Movistar KOI

Tier 2 CTBC Flying Oyster Anyone's Legend

Tier 3 FlyQuest T1

Tier 4 Bilibili Gaming G2 Esports

As G2 and BLG were able to qualify for the bracket stage, no draw was conducted to ensure no intra-regional matches can take place in the first rounds of both upper and lower brackets, and the first round of the latter. Hence, T1 and Gen.G of the LCK, and Anyone's Legend and Bilibili Gaming of the LPL are in opposite brackets each.

Bracket

• Date and time: July 1–12, will begin at 17:00 PDT (00:00 UTC)^[15]
  • Excluding games scheduled on July 3–5, which will begin at 12:00 PDT (19:00 UTC).
• Eight teams will be drawn into four tiers where teams in Tier 1 will face teams from Tier 4, while teams from Tier 2 will go up against teams from Tier 3
• Teams from the same region are to be placed on opposite bracket sides
• Double elimination; all matches are best-of-five.
