Wait that extra slot is actually such an insane touch. I love the idea

[theneuropathyguy]

They put in the MAd vs T1 16 minute game in the highlights LOL

The instant spot at worlds AND the extra slots for your region is a really good addition, this will make the tournament much more exciting with way more on the line. What they didn't mention though, is that if the team that wins MSI, for some reason, doesn't make playoffs in summer, their region does not get the extra spot at worlds. Granted seems very unlikely, but crazier things have happened.

Can't believe it's already time for MSI 2024.

Appreciation comment: The graphics look stunning! Great work to the designers, it's lovely!

[matthewchi]

I want T1 to win, but it's pretty much a given at this point that MSI is LPL's unbreakable plot armor, especially when its taking place in their home country. I'm expecting to see BLG lift the trophy

[redmouse]

not doing black on red backgrounds is like literally the first thing you learn in graphic design lmao, this is genuinely painful to look at

Don't try to fool ur audiences

[lolesports]

What do you think of this year's format?

[KCHUNG-jueo]

So it that mean if two teams in same region meet in the final they can sent two teams more to worlds2024?

[rflcopter]

Just don’t have every region fight themselves please, it’s honestly disrespectful not just to the players but the countries and to the viewers

[buke]

LCK squad is here!
Let`s go T1 <3

[designedbyfil]

The graphics team went CRAZY on this one 🔥

[fleda]

I love that the first place team from MSI gets an immediate seed at worlds, it makes so much sense, I honestly thought about it before and was surprised to find out it wasn't the case

[zaimanity]

Does that actually mean 5 slots for the winning region, if it's a mirror region finals? That'd be hilarious.

[redmouse]

the branding is great, but whoever thought its ok to flash back and forth between red and black like this needs to be examined lmao

[moonlover]

Maybe try again with the colour choices. Black on a red background is super hard to read.

[andrearruda]

Having no bracket reset is so bad.
You have dowsides in playing more games and having to go trough losers but there is no way you sould loose the tournamente if you only drop 1 best of series.

[Sellepe]

The funny thing is, ever since I upgraded to a MSI motherboard, League and Vanguard are going nuts and I cant play League without disabling the anticheat, great programming
