There are only two major international tournaments in competitive League of Legends each year, so when the Mid-Season Invitational rolls around, you can bet every top-tier organization will be battling for a shot to represent their region against the world’s best. But it is much tougher to qualify for this event since only one team can attend from each league.
As a result, multiple big names end up missing the tournament. From Korea to North America and everywhere in between, many superstars will be watching MSI from home like the rest of the League fan base.
