LoL MSI 2024 Bracket Stage matches begin on May 7, 2024 at 2 a.m. PDT.

Eight teams remain in the running for the MSI 2024 championship. Four of these teams qualified from the recently concluded Play-In Stage, and the other four received a bye to this stage by winning their respective regional championships.

After a record-breaking final in the League of Legends Champions Korea 2024 Spring Playoffs (LCK 2024 Spring Playoffs), Gen.G Esports represent the Korean region for LoL MSI 2024.

G2 Esports represent the Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region as the first seed from the League of Legends EMEA Championship (LEC). They are widely regarded as the best Western team in the competition.

Team Liquid repesent the North American League Championship Series (LCS) region as its first seed. They are also bringing along UmTi on his first international event after years of competing in the LCK. Team Liquid's mostly Korean roster will be a delight to watch in this MSI 2024.

After a very dominant run in the League of Legends Pro League (LPL) Spring 2024 season, Chinese squad Bilibili Gaming represents the region as the first seed. They are heavy favorites to win the whole tournament. With the home court advantage, this might just be the case.

T1 is the reigning world champions, fresh off their win from Worlds 2023. They came into MSI 2024 as the second seed from the LCK, and they blazed through the Play-In Stage. To qualify for the Bracket Stage, they beat both Estral Esports and FlyQuest in a 2-0 fashion.

Their series with FlyQuest was recorded to be the fastest international best-of-three (Bo3) played. Game 1 ended in under 18 minutes, and the two games back-to-back only took about 40 minutes.

Top Esports are the second seed from the Chinese LPL region. Many members of this team are familiar with the pressure of international tournaments, but not Creme. MSI 2024 is the 20-year-old mid-laner's first international event, and he's done well so far.

Top Esports qualified for the Bracket Stage by beating LOUD and Fnatic in the Play-In Stage. While they didn't drop any matches, their Bo3 against Fnatic was close. Fnatic even took a game off TES in this series.

Fnatic is the second seed from the EMEA region. They have a Korean bot-lane duo, and many hold the pair in high regard. Despite all this, the topside of Fnatic is nothing to scoff at. They all have their individual strengths that managed to shine through in the Play-In Stage.

After they dropped the qualification match versus Top Esports, Fnatic had to beat the Vietnamese GAM Esports to advance to the Bracket Stage.

The dark horse of the Play-In Stage is PSG Talon. They are the only representative from the Pacific Championship Series (PCS), which means they are also representing the League of Legends Japan League (LJL) and the League of Legends Circuit Oceania (LCO) league.

PSG Talon has a lot of international experience on their back, and LoL esports fans may recognize them as they frequently represent PCS in international events. However, their qualification to the Bracket Stage surprised many. While their skill level was perceived to be close to FlyQuest, the result of the do-or-die match between the two was still unexpected. By proving themselves to be the better team versus FlyQest, PSG Talon qualified for the Bracket Stage.
