Complete League of Legends MSI 2025 schedule and teams

League of Legends is easily one of the most popular competitive games, and its esports scene is consistently popping. This popularity is largely thanks to the number of large-scale tournaments that Riot Games organizes, though few tournaments are nearly as anticipated as international ones.

MSI, or Mid-Season Invitational, is slated to start soon, and players worldwide are anticipating it. We’re here with the tournament’s schedule and format, as well as details about its prize pool, teams, and what fans need to know about the bracket and stages.

Without any more delay, here’s everything to know about MSI 2025, including the League of Legends [1] tournament’s schedule and teams. Of course, if you’re someone who doesn’t care much about watching other players play the game, then there’s always the option to hire a professional League of Legends teammate from Eloking to start stacking those wins.

What will the bracket stages be for MSI 2025?

The bracket stages bring all ten regional representatives, including the two play-in survivors. Every match is a best-of-five, with the bracket split into upper and lower brackets:

The bracket ensures that every team has a minimum of two matches and keeps championship potential after an early setback. Matches resume on July 7 for lower bracket rounds after the July 6 intermission.

What bracket seeding system does MSI use?

MSI uses a multi-tier seeding system with region-protection rules to balance fairness and competition

Teams are placed in four seeding tiers based on regional strength and past international performance. LCK#1 and LTA#1 share one side of the upper bracket, preventing early intra-regional matches. LEC#1 and LCK#2 are on the opposite side, ensuring marquee matchups can occur deeper in the tournament.

Depending on which two teams advance from the play-ins, six predefined bracket scenarios adjust matchups. Only situations that could produce same-region upper-bracket clashes require an on-site random draw to finalize pairings.

MSI maximizes international matchups while keeping competitiveness with the rules, allowing ten teams to earn the championship title.

What’s the prize pool of MSI 2025?

MSI 2025 has a prize pool of USD 2 million, spread among all participating teams. 10th place gets $80,000 and 9th gets $100,000. 7th and 8th receive $130,000 while 5th-6th obtain $160,000. 4th place will earn $ 2,000,000, 3rd place will receive $240,000, and 2nd place will obtain $300,000. 

The team that secures first place will receive $500,000 prize, the championship title, and will qualify for 2025 Worlds, the most prestigious LoL tournament.
