MSI 2025, which opens on the 28th, detailed schedules and benefits for fans?





'Ignite the Fire Within'

The second international competition of this year's 'League of Legends' e-sports, 'MSI 2025' (mid-season invitational), will open at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, Canada on the 28th (hereinafter Korean time), and begin a two-week schedule until the final on July 13.




MSI is an opportunity to evaluate teams and regions at the halfway point of 2025 and a stage to secure additional tickets to compete in the World Championship (LOL World Cup). A total of 10 teams will participate in this MSI, with two teams each from five regions: LCK (Korea), LEC (Europe-Middle East-Africa), LPL (China), LTA (America), and LCP (Asia-Pacific).

In LCK, Gen.G and T1 participated as the 1st and 2nd seeds, while Mobista Koy was the 1st seed for LEC and G2 Esports was the 2nd seed. AL (Anyone's Legend) and Bilibili Gaming in the LPL, Flyquest and Furya Esports in the LTA, and CTBC Flying Oyster and GAM Esports in the LCP were qualified.

As Hanwha Life e-Sports won the first international competition of this season, LCK was given the right to go straight to the bracket stage (the quarterfinals), so Gen.G and T1 will not participate in the play-in stage.




Accordingly, G2 Esports, Bilibili Gaming, Furya Esports, and GAM Esports will participate in the play-in stage on the 28th and 30th, with the remaining two teams advancing to the bracket stage. Among them, G2 and Bilibili, the strongest teams in Europe and China, are expected to reach the quarterfinals.

The first tier of the bracket stage was decided by Gen.G and Movistar Koy, the second tier was CTBC and AL, the third tier was Flyquest and T1 and the fourth tier were two teams that passed the play-in stage. Gen. G, the LCK No. 1 seed, and T1, the No. 2 seed, cannot be placed in the same bracket, so Gen. G and Flyquest occupy one bracket and Movistar Coy and T1 are fixed on the other.

The official theme of this year's MSI is 'Ignite the Fire Within'. In addition, Hway, the flower of the soul, was selected as the official LoL Esports revenue sharing champion and skin. You can buy Soul Flower Hway Skin (1350 RP), Border Set (2340 RP), and Chroma Set (4110 RP) to support your favorite team, and Soul Flower Hway Individual Chroma can be purchased for 290 RP each.




After the championship is decided, MSI winner celebration decorative elements such as MSI winner icon (250 RP) and winner emotion expression (350 RP) will also be released according to the tradition of commemorating the winning team. Some of the revenue from items related to Soul Flower Hway and MSI winners will be shared with LoL esports teams participating in the 2025 season.

Meanwhile, AWS-sponsored 'God of Winning' is introduced to MSI for the first time. So far, the god of the game has only been played in the LOL World Cup, but in 2025, fans will visit during the MSI. Fans around the world can predict MSI results and receive special skins, esports capsules, and emotional expressions made for MSI.

All fans who participated in the play-in stage will be provided with Mundo and Nar's 'In Sale' emotional expressions, while fans who participated in the bracket stage prediction will be provided with esports capsules. Fans with a hit rate of 50% or more will be provided with one esports capsule and Timo's 'My Special Gift' emotional expression, while fans with a hit rate of the top 25% will be given two esports capsules and Master E's 'Suspicious' emotional expression.

Apart from the god of the match, various drops have been prepared for fans watching live on LoLEsports.com . A total of five emotional expressions containing the elegance and meme sensibility of the soul flower were produced. On the opening day, Milio's 'I didn't fire it's emotional expression is provided, and on July 2, when the bracket stage begins, Ash's 'routine 'routine 'routine 'routine 'routine routine routine routine routine routine routine routine!' Expressing emotions, on the 13th, Jax's 'Power Play!', Cassiopeia's 'Organization Completed', set 'I'm full.' Emotional expression is provided as a reward for viewing.
