The Mid-Season Invitational (MSI) 2025 is set to land in North America, with Canada taking center stage as the host country. This marks the first time in years that an international League of Legends event will be held in Canada.
Scheduled for early July 2025, MSI 2025 will showcase ten elite teams from five regions, all vying for the championship title and a chance to qualify for the World Championship later that year in Chengdu, China. While the specific Canadian city hosting the event is still under wraps, we can expect more details to emerge in January 2025.
