The multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game League of Legends is scheduled to have a tournament at the 2024 Esports World Cup, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from July 4 to 7, 2024. Eight teams are scheduled to take part in this tournament, two each from the four major competitive regions – LCS (North America), LEC (EMEA), LCK (Korea) and LPL (China).

Format[edit]

The eight teams that participate in the tournament will be put into a single-elimination bracket, not unlike the one used at the League of Legends World Championship. The only difference to the Worlds bracket will be that the quarter-finals and semi-finals will be best-of-3 games; the final will be a traditional best-of-5 series.

Due to the top 8 teams at each EWC tournament gaining Club Championship points, all 8 teams participating will earn points, with each organization able to qualify for the Club Championship itself (or win the Club Championship should they win the League tournament) if they place in the top 8 in another EWC event.[1]

Invited teams[edit]

The eight teams that were invited to the tournament were announced on May 24, 2024. Each of the 4 major competitive regions in League, the LCS, LEC, LCK and LPL, had two teams invited. All eight teams that were invited competed in the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational, having qualified by finishing among the top two teams in their domestic leagues for their spring splits (The LEC had winter and spring splits, with the winners of both splits qualifying for MSI and therefore being invited for the League event at the EWC).[2]

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ Due to G2 Esports winning both the LEC Winter and Spring splits, Fnatic qualified for MSI (and were ultimately invited to the EWC tournament) by being the next highest LEC team in terms of championship points after the Spring split.
