The Mid-Season Invitational, the first international League of Legends event of 2022, kicks off with the group stage on May 10.
Bringing the top teams from around the world to the Bexco Exhibition Hall in Busan, South Korea—considered by many as the home of esports—MSI 2022 will feature a total of 11 teams from regions including North America, Europe, China, South Korea, Japan, Oceania, Southeast Asia, Vietnam, Latin America, Brazil, and Turkey.
Drawn into three groups based on seeding, teams will compete in a double round-robin in Groups A and B and a quadruple round-robin in Group C. The top two teams from each group will advance to the next stage of the competition after a week of best-of-one matches.
Here are the scores, standings, and results for the group stage at MSI 2022.

*A discrepancy in latency between teams was reported at the event on May 13, leading to the initial three matches involving RNG, who are based in Shanghai, China, being replayed for the “best interest of competitive integrity.” The three matches will be completed in time for the end of the group stage by Sunday, May 15.
