In order to earn regional berths at the next event, teams are vying for the trophy in Vancouver, Canada, during the second League of Legends international tournament of the year.
The Mid-Season Invitational, which takes place from June 28 to July 13, is the goal of all eligible teams. The Play-ins and the main Bracket stage are the two sections of the event. Four teams from across the globe compete against one another in the Play-in stages to guarantee spots in the main Bracket stages, with the remaining two teams being eliminated from the competition. The upper and lower brackets are part of the bracket stage. Following the Fearless Drafts structure, which has been the standard throughout all leagues and tournaments in 2025, bottom bracket matchups are do-or-die, although teams remaining in the upper bracket have another shot to make it to the lower bracket after losing a series.
