Only G2 and CFO are locked in so far
The second international event of the year is fast approaching. After a historic First Stand that saw Hanwha Life Esports lift their first international trophy, the Mid-Season Invitational is just around the corner. The action kicks off on June 27 across the Pacific in Vancouver, Canada, where ten teams — two from each major region — will step into the ring to claim one of the most prestigious titles in League of Legends and succeed Gen.G, champions of the 2024 edition.
As the second split of the season draws to a close around the globe, the picture is starting to come into focus. We now know the names of some teams already locked in, while others are still battling through the gauntlet of playoffs and regional finals. To help you keep up, Sheep Esports has compiled the full list of teams still in contention for MSI 2025 across all regions.

Teams already qualified
So far, only two teams have secured their MSI tickets: G2 Esports, by reaching the LEC Spring Finals, and CTBC Flying Oyster, by advancing to the finals of the LCP Mid-Season Series. Both are guaranteed a Play-In slot as the second seed from their respective regions. The LCK is the only region that will not send any team to the Play-In Stage, thanks to Hanwha Life Esports’ victory at the First Stand. The second seeds from the LEC, LPL, and LCP, along with the top seed from LTA South, will compete in the Play-In for a spot in the Bracket Stage.
