Keep up with all of the qualified teams as Worlds draws nearer.
The 2022 League of Legends World Championship is just over a month away, and teams worldwide are beginning to qualify for the event. From August through September, the pro League scene’s top teams will lock in their spots at the World Championship.
Worlds will return to North America this year, with the LCS serving as the host league for the event for the first time since the 2016 season. Additionally, this year’s World Championship will be the first edition of the event since 2019, where fans will be allowed to attend all stages of Worlds. In 2020, a limited number of fans were allowed into the Grand Finals between Korea’s DAMWON Gaming and China’s Suning, but fans have not been allowed at Worlds since.
This year, Worlds will tour across North America, with the play-in stage in Mexico City, the group stage in New York City, the semifinals in Atlanta, Georgia, and the finals of the event coming to San Francisco, California.
Every domestic league in the world (apart from the LCL) will send at least one representative to this year’s edition of Worlds. In total, 24 teams from 11 leagues will participate in the World Championship.
