The first international League of Legends tournament of the year is officially underway, with professional action already heating up in Chengdu.
The 2024 Mid-Season Invitational (MSI 2024) will be captivating League esports fans across nearly all of May, with the event running from May 1 to 19, featuring a schedule packed with some of the world’s best teams.
MSI 2024 will be broken down into two parts: The play-in stage and the main event bracket stage. The play-in stage included several surprising faces this year, notably Faker and defending world champions T1. The play-in stage fed into the main event, where squads are now battling it out for the international trophy.
